Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: March 9, 1883 (BnF authorities; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Integrated Authority File; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani; SNAC; Discogs; The Fine Art Archive) or March 9, 1893 (Dizionario degli scrittori italiani contemporanei pseudonimi: 1900-1975).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
