Luigi Capuana was an Italian author and journalist and one of the main exponents of Verismo. He was a contemporary of Giovanni Verga, both having been born in the province of Catania within a year of each other. He was also one of the first Italian authors influenced by the works of Émile Zola, French author and creator of naturalism. His critical theories on naturalism envisaged the ultimate fusion of the novel into a purely scientific, impersonal, case-history.

Biographie

Luigi Capuana était journaliste à Milan, critique à Florence, et professeur à Catane et à Rome.
Théoricien du vérisme, Luigi Capuana fut influencé par le naturalisme d'Émile Zola. Son œuvre fantastique en fit le chantre d'une Sicile aride mais féconde en légendes et en superstitions.
Giuseppe Perrotta mit en musique quelques-uns de ses poèmes.
