Continued thread

Camillo's “Un Corpo“ is a story about the horrors of male mania over a young woman, the fear of medical progress in the 19th century, and the Bohemian lifestyle. Full of uncanny coincidences, 19th-century aesthetics and written in a superbly executed realist style. Meanwhile, Arrigos „L'alfier nero“ is a macabre tale of racism, black revenge, colonial guilt and the Haitian Revolution.

Continued thread

Influenced by their friends, such as Tarchetti and the dark romantics from Germany and the US, they each wrote a several uncanny short stories that would have merited a literary career all on their own. Sadly, neither Camillo nor Arrigo pursued their literary endeavors, and we are left with the few dark and masterly written narratives.

Some of my favorite Italian horror authors of the 19th century are undoubtedly the brothers Boito. Both Camillo and Arrigo were prolific artists, the former an architect in his own right, the latter a composer and librettist (for, among others, Verdi). They both were part of the Italian anti-bourgeois artist movement the Scapigliati (imho the real punks of the 19th century).
