University of Palermo and
Genoa, and in 1890 he became a professor of history and
comparative literature at the Regia Accademia Scientifico-Letteraria of
Milan. In 1883, he founded the
Giornale Storico delle Letteratura Italiana with Rodolfo Renier and
Arturo Graf. He also collaborated with many other magazines and newspapers:
