Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837)
Giacomo Taldegardo Francesco di Sales Saverio Pietro Leopardi (June 29, 1798 - June 14, 1837) was an Italian poet, essayist, philosopher, and philologist. Although he lived in a secluded town in ultra-conservative Stato della Chiesa, he came in touch with the main thoughts of Enlightenment, and, by his own literary evolution, created a remarkable and renowned poetic work, related to the Romantic movement, which makes him one of the greatest poets of modern Italy.
