Life
Sacerdote was born at Fossano in 1820. He died there on 27 November 1883. Passionately devoted to the classics, Sacerdote from his early youth applied himself to the comparative study of the works of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides and those of Vittorio Alfieri and Del Monti.
Work
Among Sacerdote's better-known dramas are "Bianca Cappello," which was represented with great success at the Alfieri Theater, Turin, in 1874; "Cola di Rienzo"; "Catilina," a tragedy in five acts; and "Eglon," a dramatic poem in five acts, relying heavily on Biblical inspiration. Sacerdote was also an accomplished writer of sonnets, odes, and songs.
