 | | Inspired by this trend in realism and Bohemianism in France, during the 1860s the artistic avant-garde of Milan became known as the Scapigliatura. |
 | | Taking their name from an 1858 novel, La Scapigliatura e il 6 Febbraio by Cletto Arrighi, the “disheveled ones” counted among their numbers Emilio Praga, Camillo and Arrigo Boito, Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, Carlo Dossi, Tranquillo Cremona and Franco Faccio. |
 | | In response to the chaotic aftermath of the Risorgimento, the scapigliati revolted against established bourgeois values and subjugated Victorian sexuality, taking their cue from Charles Baudelaire's highly sensational poems Les fleurs du mal and Gustave Flaubert's scandalous novel Madame Bovary (both published in 1857). |
