Ugo Betti

Ugo Betti (4 February 1892 in Camerino – 9 June 1953 in Rome) was an Italian judge, better known as an author, who is considered by many[who?]

Betti studied law in Parma at the time when World War I broke out, and he volunteered as a soldier.

His works explore the nature of evil, the existential guilt experienced by his protagonists, and the theme of redemption.

In The Inquiry, the procedure moves gradually from the realistic to the metaphysical level, without it ever being clearly revealed what the object of the investigation is.

His best-known play is probably Corruzione al Palazzo di Giustizia (Corruption in the Palace of Justice).
