The huge library of great 19th
century polymath and Romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi has gone
online.
The library largely amassed by Leopardi's father Count Monaldo
is now available to all fans of Italy's greatest poet after
Dante, at (https://bibliomarchesud.it/opac/.do).
The library helped Leopardi boast a precocious knowledge of
Latin, Greek and other ancient languages but his strenuous
voracious reading is thought to have contributed to his
life-long ill health.
Leopardi (29 June 1798 - 14 June 1837) was a philosopher, poet,
essayist, and philologist.
He is considered the greatest Italian poet of the nineteenth
century and one of the most important figures in the literature
of the world, as well as one of the principal figures of
literary romanticism.
