Alessio di Giovanni (Cianciana , 11 October 1872 –Palermo , 6 December 1946) was an Italian poet, novelist, and playwright.[ 1] Much of his work is inSicilian .[ 2]
di Giovanni was born in the Cianciana in theprovince of Agrigento on October 11, 1872[citation needed ] to parents Gaetano di Giovanni and Filippa Guida. His father owned a large holding of the countryside around Cianciana including several sulfur mines. Di Giovanni's later poetic works were influenced by the rugged mountains and isolated fields of the Platani Valley[ 3] in which his birthplace of Cianciana can be found. His father, in those years, was elected mayor of Cianciana for three consecutive terms, from 1876 to 1884 . Alessio then spent his childhood in the small town of Agrigento, attending elementary schools from 1878 to 1884. At age 12 he moved with his family to Palermo, Sicily.[ 4]
