| | Giovanni Verga and Cavalleria Rusticana - Best of Sicily Magazine |
 | | And when in 1860 Giuseppe Garibaldi and his followers invaded the Mediterranean island, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy, Vizzini was left untouched. | | | We can understand why Verga turned away in disillusionment from Italian nationalism and rediscovered his Sicilian roots by realistically expressing the local dialect, the local proverbs and more: The hot-blooded, passionate Sicilian attachment to his land and his people. | | | To be sure, Verga's story poses no great political or social question, merely raw human emotions and folly among a small group of ordinary people in the mountains of eastern Sicily. |

| | Giovanni Verga (1840-1922) |
| | Luckily Verga had his impulse to Romanticism early and exhausted it in his novels, so that by the time he began to write for the theatre he had quite established himself in the manner which was his natural expression. | | | The peasant of his own country is to Verga an open book; his sympathetic knowledge of his countrymen is so profound, his fidelity to fact so scrupulous, that his plays may well rank as trustworthy documents in the social history of unhappy Sicily. | | | Giovanni Verga, born at Catania in 1840, started his career as an ultra-romantic romancer in the taste of his times. |

| | The plays of Giacosa, Verga, and Capuana, the three capital representatives of the theatre of Verism, had no difficulty in establishing themselves. | | | There was, to be sure, much criticism of the "crudity" of the new school, much exclaiming that its product was not art, but there was no organized or even unanimous opposition. | | | The fact that there was no call in Italy for a free theatre may be accounted for by these considerations: in the first place, the Italian is artistically the most hospitable person in the world; he has always been ready to accept anything that he adjudged well done. |
