About Giacomo Leopardi:
Giacomo Taldegardo Francesco di Sales Saverio Pietro Leopardi is widely acknowledged to be one of the most radical and challenging thinkers of the 19th century. Although he lived in a secluded town in the ultra-conservative Papal States, he came in touch with the main thoughts of the Enlightenment, and, by his own literary evolution, created a remarkable and renowned poetic work, related to the Romantic era. The extraordinary lyrical quality of his poetry made him a central protagonist in the European and international literary and cultural landscape.
No human trait deserves less tolerance in everyday life, and gets less, than intolerance.
Giacomo Leopardi
