Question Number 10
Olindo Guerrini?
No.
Olindo Guerrini (1845-1916) was, among other things, the librarian of the University of Bologna, and, under the pen name Lorenzo Stecchetti, an eclectic and prolific writer. In 1877 he published a collection of poems entitled Postuma (Posthumous), attributing them to a cousin who'd died of consumption. The book, which comments scathingly upon the political issues of the times (for example, sending farmers to struggle and die in Colonial Africa rather than practice agrarian reforms at home), and casts a penetrating glance at the social customs as well, caused a scandal and was immediately attacked as erotic and blasphemous.
He also found time to write, under his own name, a book entitled L'Arte di Utilizzare gli Avanzi della Mensa, The Art of Using Leftovers.
