Domenico Giuliotti

As a magistrate he took pride in his judicial duties, and he and his wife, having no children of their own, hoped that some day their young nephew would follow in the footsteps of his jurist uncle.

The situation seemed hopeless, and Giuliotti was depressed almost to the point of despair, for it seemed to him that these diabolical principles were "preparing a generation capable of making hell turn pale.

"[6] Giuliotti was also one of the major collaborators of Il Frontespizio, an important cultural magazine which gathered together noteworthy Italian writers like Piero Bargellini, Giovanni Papini and Ardengo Soffici.

[7] Besides the well-known Dizionario dell'omo salvatico, written in collaboration with Papini, Giuliotti has published a score of books of poetry, tales and novels.

So much so, that as the French critic Marcel Brion says of Giuliotti, "in him one finds the sweetness of Jacopone da Todi, the severe and serious naturalism of Giotto's frescoes, the winged flight of Dante's terzine, and, often enough, a violence of reproach and satire that reminds one of Savonarola.
