Question: Who was born first, Italo Svevo or Louis L'Amour?
Context: Una vita is the first novel of Italo Svevo, the author of the seminal modernist novel, "Zeno's Conscience".  Originally titled "Un inetto" – "inetto" may be translated as 'inept,' unfit', 'unsuitable' or 'incapable' – this name was rejected by the publisher, who requested that it be changed to "Una vita" – 'A Life' – which is also the name of a famous Maupassant novel.  The first draft was submitted in 1888.  It was refused by the publishing house Treves, and wasn't published until 1892 by Vram, at the expense of Svevo himself. Aron Ettore Schmitz (19 December 186113 September 1928), better known by the pseudonym Italo Svevo (] ), was an Italian writer, businessman, novelist, playwright, and short story writer. Scipio Slataper (14 July 1888 – 3 December 1915) was an Italian writer, most famous for his lyrical essay "My Karst".  He is considered, alongside Italo Svevo, as the initiator of the prolific tradition of Italian literature in Trieste. Piero Weiss (January 26, 1928 – October 2, 2011) was an Italian-American pianist and musicologist.  Born in Trieste, his mother was a symphony violinist and the niece of novelist Italo Svevo.  In 1938, at the age of 10, he fled Fascist Italy with his family, ending up in New York City in 1940.  In New York, he studied piano with Isabella Vengerova and Rudolf Serkin, music theory and composition with Karl Weigl, and chamber music with Adolf Busch.  In 1944, at the age of 16, he began his career as a concert pianist.  He performed throughout the United States and Europe up into the 1960s, and also performed for radio broadcasts.  He recorded works by Debussy.  Ravel, Schubert, and Schumann. Kipling Morgan, better known as Kip Morgan was a fictional character created by the bestselling author Louis L'Amour.  Morgan is a detective, like the hard-boiled detective characters created by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler.  In L'Amour's words, "Kip Morgan is an ex-prizefighter struggling to make a new career himself as a private operator."  L'Amour wrote a few short stories featuring Morgan including "Dead Man's Trail", "With Death in His Corner" and "The Street of Lost Corpses".  Several of the stories make up the latter third of Vol.  6 of "The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour". Decadentism (also called Decadentismo) was an Italian artistic style based mainly on the Decadent movement in the arts in France and England around the end of the 19th century.  The main authors associated with decadentism were Antonio Fogazzaro, Italo Svevo, Giovanni Pascoli and Gabriele D'Annunzio.  Although differing stylistically, they championed idiosyncrasy and irrationality against scientific rationalism.  A later critic, Walter Binni, analyzed the style favorably in his 1936 book "La poetica del decadentismo" and distinguished between moral and aesthetic decadence.  Another scholar of decadentism was Norberto Bobbio, noted especially for his 1945 book, "La filosofia del decadentismo". Fabio Vittorini (born 19 December 1971) is an Italian literary critic, currently Professor of Comparative Literature at IULM University of Milan (Italy) He is known for his studies on melodrama and on Italo Svevo.  He has written many academic texts and essays. Caffè San Marco is a historic café in Trieste, Italy.  It is located in via Battisti 18.  Founded in 1914, it became famous as a rendezvous for intellectuals and writers including Italo Svevo, James Joyce and Umberto Saba, a tradition that continues to date with Claudio Magris.  A meeting point for Trieste's irredentists, the café was destroyed by Austro-Hungarian troops during the first World War but was reopened when hostilities ended. Louis Dearborn L'Amour ( ; March 22 1908 –June 10 1988) was an American novelist and short story writer.  His books consisted primarily of Western novels (though he called his work 'frontier stories'); however, he also wrote historical fiction ("The Walking Drum"), science fiction ("The Haunted Mesa"), non-fiction ("Frontier"), as well as poetry and short-story collections.  Many of his stories were made into films and John Wayne once made the dubious assertion that L'Amour was the most interesting man in the world.  L'Amour's books remain popular and most have gone through multiple printings.  At the time of his death almost all of his 105 existing works (89 novels, 14 short-story collections, and two full-length works of nonfiction) were still in print, and he was considered "one of the world's most popular writers". Liceo Italo Svevo or the Istituto Italo Svevo (German: Gymnasium Italo Svevo ) is a private Italian international school in Cologne, Germany.
