| biography:
| Poet, born in Campomaggiore, Trentino, N Italy. He was active in Milan's patriotic circles and was a supporter of the Savoys. A deputy of the Italian parliament in 1862 and a senator in 1876, he was a very popular leading exponent of late Romanticism. Patriotic and love themes were dealt with in highly rhethoric tones in Edmenegarda (1840), Canti per il popolo e ballate (1843), Canti politici (1852), and Psiche (1876). |
