Arturo Graf
Arturo Graf (1848–1913), Italian poet, of German ancestry, was born at Athens, Greece.
He was educated at the University of Naples and became a lecturer on Italian literature in Rome, till in 1876 he was appointed professor at Turin.[1]
He was one of the founders of the Giornale della letteratura italiana, and his publications include valuable prose criticism; but he is best known as a poet. His various volumes of verse—Poesie e novelle (1874), Dopo il tramonto versi (1893), etc.—give him a high place among the recent lyrical writers of his country.[1]
