The trend took hold in Italy in the 1870s where it was promoted by the authors Luigi Capuana and Giovanni Verga under the banner of verismo, the Italian word for realism, and drew inspiration from the naturalism of Émile Zola and his disciples. Verga’s short story Cavalleria rusticana (‘Rustic chivalry’) and the play that arose from it set the foundations for a new wave of Italian operas, with Pietro Mascag Book and Mortar Record Store
