Description
In mezzo al guado. Pasquale De Marco (1865-1929)
Pasquale De Luca (1865-1929) is one of the many representatives of Neapolitan culture between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; he was a novelist, dramatist, poet, art critic, journalist, director of national magazines such as "Natura ed Arte" and "Varietas". Like every personality of the time a lot helped to nurture the Neapolitan culture to bring it back to the European levels. The cultural commitment was carried out above all on the columns of the periodicals of the time; in fact, the journalism of that period was, without a doubt, the best instrument to transfer to an Neapolitan society, little inclined to reading, the anxieties, the aspirations, the artistic reasons of a handful of intellectuals paid to art. His personal and artistic story, hitherto little known, because still hidden on the columns of yellowed pages of newspapers of the time, has been reconstructed here with painstaking patience by Di Marco, who is able to trace not only a complete portrait of the man and his work, but also to provide other valuable pieces to reconstruct the puzzle of Naples contemporary to him.
