About the author

Gerolamo Rovetta (November 30, 1851 – May 8, 1910) was an Italian writer and playwright.

Born in Brescia, Rovetta was the author of many novels and short stories as well of stage plays, mostly dramas. His first novel was Mater dolorosa (1882), a novel set in the world of the nobles that achieved a considerably popular success.

He is also well known for the drama Romanticismo, whose success was partly due to its patriotic content; it was later adapted in a film with the same name directed by Clemente Fracassi and starred by Amedeo Nazzari and Clara Calamai. In theatre Romanticismo and I disonesti found in Paola Pezzaglia an ideal interpreter.

Close to verismo, his works represent the Lombard political and the bourgeoisie of the time, and show the disillusionment for the failure of the ideals of the Risorgimento.

In 1910 Rovetta committed suicide, leaving an unfinished novel.
