Ugo Ojetti (15 July 1871 – 1 January 1946) was an Italian journalist-commentator and author. He wrote prolifically on a wide range of topics. His output also includes short stories and at least seven novels. Nevertheless, during his later decades he increasingly focused on arts criticism, and it is as an art critic that he is most frequently identified in the more generalist sources. Widely admired for his mastery of language, and especially of Italian, he is also commended by admirers as an exceptionally effective aphorist.[1][2][3][4]
Some of Ojetti’s output was published pseudonymously. His most frequently employed pseudonym, notably during the first decade of the twentieth century, was “Conte Ottavio” ("Count Octavian").[5][6]
