An Italian poet and patriot; born near Verona, Nov. 4, 1812; died there, July 17, 1878. He studied first philosophy and natural science, and then jurisprudence. His political principles, as revealed in his poem "Arnaldo" (1842), brought him under suspicion, and public office under the (Austrian) government was denied him. Others of his works are: "Primal Histories" (1857), a poem on the intellectual, ethical, and social evolution of man; "An Hour in My Youth", a piece inspired at once with tenderest love of nature and intense devotion to Italian independence; "Letters to Mary"; "Raffaele and the Fornarina"; "The Maritime Cities of Italy"; and "A Political Ode", directed against Pope Pius IX. (1862).
