Biography
Alexander Patuzzi was born into a family of Italian descent. He received his primary education at home, then studied at the Leuvenburg Convict and later studied medicine at the University of Vienna, but did not finish his studies and took up bookselling. He worked for some time in Leipzig, but since 1838 for ten years he led the life of a wanderer, wandering around Austria, Switzerland, the German and Italian states; during this period he made his living as a free writer. At the end of the 1840s he returned to the Austrian Empire, in 1850 he worked in the editorial office of a newspaper in Graz, from 1851 he lived permanently in Vienna, where he was engaged in writing literary works (mainly historical novels and tragedies). In 1859 he went to Italy as a front-line correspondent.
