| biography:
| Poet and writer, born in Monsummano, Tuscany, NWC Italy. A republican turned moderate, he was against the 1848 democratic government and carried on the controversy in his later work. He wrote many poems, collected in Versi editi ed inediti (1852), in which he playfully satirizes the social habits of his Florentine contemporaries, the most famous of which is Sant'Ambrogio. Other works include Raccolta di proverbi toscani (1853) and Cronaca dei fatti di Toscana (1890). |
