CARLO GOZZI, his younger brother, was born in 1722. He was a man of greater vigour of mind and general force of character than his brother Gaspard. Before his sixteenth year he had written four poems of great length, besides a vast number of smaller pieces. His literary career, however, like that of his brother, though always congenial enough, became at length, through that brother's mismanagement of the common inheritance, a necessity. In 1761 he produced his comedy of The Three Oranges, which had an immense run from its successful revival of the masks and impromptu dialogues so long popular in Italy, but which Goldoni had recently banished from the stage. (See GOLDONI.) He followed up his success with a series of similar pieces, and was able to make head for a time against Goldoni. Like Goldoni, Gozzi enjoys the somewhat strange privilege of being a greater favourite abroad than at home. Native critics, indeed, deny him altogether the praises liberally bestowed on him by Ginguené, Madame de Staél, and other French writers. His Useless Memoirs of his own Life were discontinued in 1798; at least no part of them was published after that date. Gozzi died in 1806 at the advanced age of eighty-four. (See Ginguené's articles on the Gozzi in the Biog. Unie., where a complete list of the works of the two brothers will also be found.)
