Italo Svevo(1861-1928)
- Writer
Svevo worked as a bank clerk, and, after marrying Lidia Veneziani, he
directed her father's factory, which supplied a special naval paint. He
was much more successful as a businessman than as a writer at the time,
his scripts being totally neglected. His fame came when he was over
sixty, thanks to the interest of his English teacher, a young James
Joyce.
