Autorenporträt
Matilde Serao, born on March 7, 1856, in Patras, Greece, was a pioneering Italian journalist and novelist. She became the first woman to edit an Italian newspaper, Il Corriere di Roma, and later Il Giorno. Serao's contributions to Italian journalism extended further when she co-founded and served as the editor of the prominent newspaper Mattino. Her work as a journalist complemented her successful career as a novelist, and she wrote numerous books throughout her life. Serao married Edoardo Scarfoglio in 1885, and they had two children, Antonio and Paolo Scarfoglio. Her personal life, particularly her marriage, influenced much of her literary work, which often explored themes of love, jealousy, and human emotions within the constraints of society. She passed away on July 25, 1927, at the age of 71 in Naples, Italy. Serao s literary and journalistic achievements left a lasting impact on Italian culture, particularly in the realm of journalism where she broke barriers for women.
