| | | | | | Biography
(Oneglia 1846 – Bordighera, Imperia 1908). A passionate patriot, he attended the military academy of Modena immediately after having graduated from high school in Turin. As second-lieutenant he engaged in the battle of Custoza. That experience inspired his to a series of sketches collected in “La Vita Militare” (1868). Having left the army he turned to journalism and writing. As reporter for “Nazione” he did a reportage on Spain. He published his reports and stories of his trip in five books which made him quite popular. His masterpiece was the extremely successful “Cuore”, a book on childhood which was taken as a moral code by more than one post-renaissance generations. De Amicis wrote about the topic of school in other books and from different points of view:“Romanzo d’un Maestro” (1890) and “Amore e Ginnastica” (1892). Between 1890 and 1891 De Amicis adhered to socialism, encouraged by his friend Filippo Turati. He wrote two more novels “Sull’Oceano”(1889) and “Primo Maggio” (published in 1980) before he died in 1908). | | |
