Salvatore Farina (10 January 1846 – 15 December 1918) was an Italian novelist whose style of sentimental humor has been compared to that of Charles Dickens. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature three times.[1]
Life
Born in the Sardinian town of Sorso, he studied law at Turin and Pavia before moving to Milan and taking up literature, remaining there for the rest of his life. The late nineteenth century English novelist George Gissing thought that his novella Si Muore, read by him in January 1890, was 'far more interesting than I expected; in fact excellently written'.[2]
