Who was Anton Giulio Barrili?
Anton Giulio Barrili, Italian novelist, was born at Savona, and was educated for the legal profession, which he abandoned for journalism in Genoa. He was a volunteer in the campaign of 1859 and served with Garibaldi in 1866 and 1867. From 1865 onwards he published a large number of books of fiction, which had wide popularity, his work being commonly compared with that of Victor Cherbuliez.

Barrili also wrote two plays and various volumes of criticism, including Li rinnovamento letterario italiano. He was elected to the Italian chamber of deputies in 1876; and in 1889 became professor of Italian literature at Genoa.
He died in 1908.
