Person
In 1872, Verga moved to Florence, and then to Milan, where he became involved with a group of writers and intellectuals who were part of the verismo movement. Influenced by the social and economic changes of the time, Verga's writing began to reflect a more critical view of society, emphasizing the harsh realities and struggles of the common people.
Verga's most significant works include the novels I Malavoglia (The House by the Medlar-Tree) and Mastro-don Gesualdo, as well as numerous short stories that capture the essence of Sicilian life. Despite his initial success, Verga eventually returned to Catania, where he continued to write until his death in 1922.
