Anton Giulio Barrili (14 December 1836 in Savona - 14 August 1908 in Carcare) was an Italian novelist. He was educated for the legal profession, which he abandoned in Genoa for journalism. He was a volunteer in the campaign of 1859 and served with Garibaldi in 1866 (Austro-Prussian War, Third Italian War of Independence) and 1867. From 1865 onwards he published a large number of books of fiction, which had wide popularity, his work being commonly compared with that of Victor Cherbuliez.
Some of the best of the later ones are Italian: Santa Cecilia (1866), Italian: Come un sogno (1875), and Italian: L'olmo e l'edera (1877). His Italian: Raggio di Dio appeared in 1899. Barrili also wrote two plays and various volumes of criticism, including Italian: Il rinnovamento letterario italiano (1890). He was elected to the Italian chamber of deputies in 1876; and in 1889 became professor of Italian literature at the University of Genoa.
