Riccardo Forster (1869–1939) was a Dalmatian Italian poet, journalist and critic. [1] [2] [3]
As a young man, Forster was an exponent of the Julian- Dalmatian irredentists, [2] and for this reason persecuted by the Austrians. He moved to Naples with the help of Gabriele D'Annunzio and Edoardo Scarfoglio. He began to collaborate with Il Mattino as a theater critic. [4]
He founded and directed the cultural magazine, Flegrea, from 1899 to 1901. From the beginning, he sided with fascism, [2] [4] and in 1925 at the behest of Benito Mussolini, became the director of the newspaper. Forster held this position until 1928. [4]
In 1905 he published a book of poems: La fiorita, consisting of sonnets with a neo-romantic and late- scapigliato style. He also wrote a one-act drama, Revelations, and short novellas inspired by D'Annunzio that were published in the magazines of the day. [4]
