Verismo (meaning "realism", from Italian vero, meaning "true") was a 19th-century Italian painting style, or group of styles, related to the contemporary movements using the same name in Italian literature and opera. It may reflect either or both "realist", unglamorous, subject matter, or a style of usually rather loose brushwork, anticipating later painting.
