Iginio (or Igino) Ugo Tarchetti (Italian pronunciation: [iˈdʒiːnjo ˈuːɡo tarˈketti]; 29 June 1839 – 25 March 1869) was an Italian author, poet, and journalist of the first generation of Lombard line. Long forgotten by Italian literary critics, Tarchetti's work is undergoing critical reappraisal in recent years. Tarchetti is considered the first practitioner of Gothic fiction in Italy.
