Paolo Ferrari (1822–1889)
Ferrari, Paolo (fer-rä’rē). An Italian dramatist; born at Modena, April 5, 1822; died on March 9, 1889. His early comedies had little success; and his masterpiece, ‘Goldoni and his Sixteen Comedies’ (1852) was refused production for two years, but when acted won both a popular and a critical ovation. Its successor ‘Parini and Satire’ (1857), gained equal favor. Among his others are: ‘The Modern Tartuffe’ (1862); ‘Suicide’ (1875); ‘The Rival Friends’ (1878); ‘Antonietta’ (1880); ‘Fulvio Testi’ (1889).
