Biography
Biography
He early published novels, poems, and dramas, including La Fornarina and Il medico di Parma. Alexandre Dumas père, while at Naples in 1835, induced him to settle in Paris, and to aid Dumas in the preparation of works relating to Italian life, some of which, especially Jeanne de Naples, were regarded as the exclusive production of Fiorentino. Fiorentino wrote French with the same facility and elegance as Italian. He went to Paris with 150 francs, and left 600,000 francs, acquired by literary labors.

- 1.La data risulta dall'atto di nascita, registrato presso il distretto di Montecalvario (comune di Napoli), come pubblicato per la prima volta da L. Arnone Sipari (riferimenti in Collegamenti esterni). In precedenza G. Monsagrati nel Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (riferimenti in Bibliografia) aveva indicato 5 marzo 1811 sulla scorta di ricerche parrocchiali da altri pubblicate. A. Manzi nella Enciclopedia Italiana (riferimenti in Collegamenti esterni) indicava invece il 18 maggio 1809. Anche C.F. Goffis nella Enciclopedia Dantesca (Collegamenti esterni) indicava il 1809.

- 11.L'attribuzione era venuta dal Quérard, nelle Superchéries littéraires dévoilées. Secondo Croce, il Fiorentino, «se non può considerarsene propriamente autore, certamente fornì materiali e dové scriverne alcune parti», tanto che di una sua novella «è rifacimento il cap. XXV, Villa Gordiani, che, col titolo Livia, si legge nelle Cento Novelle» (Tip. Ferraro, Napoli 1834), opera dello stesso Fiorentino. Sul tema si veda B. Croce, Note sul "Corricolo" di Alessandro Dumas, in Nuove pagine sparse, s. II, Ricciardi, Napoli 1949, pp. 242-246.
