| This Italian stamp, issued in 1972, commemorates Giovanni Verga (1840-1922), a towering figure of Italian Verismo. Verga, celebrated for his starkly realistic portrayals of Sicilian life and the struggles of its common people, profoundly influenced Italian literature. His works, including "I Malavoglia" and "Mastro-don Gesualdo," captured the essence of local traditions and the harsh realities of poverty, often featuring symbolic elements like the Sicilian cart wheel depicted here, representing the island's rich cultural tapestry and the enduring spirit of its inhabitants. |
