Enrico Novelli was born on 5 June 1876 in Pisa, the son of Ermete Novelli.[1][2] He worked in newspapers, beginning at La Sera (possibly Corriere della Sera) in Milan.[1] Between 1927 and 1942, he ran a paper in Florence called Il nuovo giornale di Firenze.[3]

Novelli wrote children's books under the pen name "Yambo". Le avventure di Ciuffettino (1902) is his best known work.[3][4]

He died on 30 December 1943 in Florence.[2]
