Cesare Arici
Cesare Arici ( sp . -itschi) (born July 2, 1782 in Brescia ; † July 2, 1836 ibid) was an Italian poet .
Cesare Arici was originally a legal scholar and under Napoleon I was secretary at the departmental court of his hometown. His didactic poem La Coltivazione degli Olivi (Brescia 1808) won him the friendship of Vincenzo Monti , the admission to the Athenaeum of Brescia and in 1810 the appointment as professor of eloquence, later of history and literature at the Lyceum there.
After the abolition of this chair (1824) he received the professorship of the Latin language, which he held until his death on July 2, 1836. Of his poetic works, the above was considered the most significant and earned him a place among the respected didactic poets in Italy. In 1835 he became a corresponding member of the Accademia della Crusca .
Of his other poems of the same genre, La Pastorizia (Brescia 1814) and L 'origine delle fonti are best known. All of these works are distinguished by their exquisite elegance in style and verse. There are also a number of lyrical poems and several prose writings by him. His last major poem: Gerusalemme distrutta , which celebrates the fall of Jerusalem by Titus , remained unfinished. His operas appeared in 6 volumes at Brescia in 1818, and in a new edition at Padua in 1858.
