Giambattista Grilli Rossi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giambattista Grilli Rossi (born October 5, 1768 in Bologna , † January 2, 1837 there ) was an Italian poet and writer .

Life

Giambattista Grilli Rossi came from a respectable family and received a good upbringing. The great zeal with which he studied rhetoric and philosophy in the seminar earned him the praise of his teachers as a teenager. After completing his secondary school studies he entered the University of his native city to jurisprudence to study. In 1791 he received his doctorate in law . His father died five years later. He now looked around for a position and became Count Lupari's secretary. In 1806 he entered the service of Count Pallavicini in the same position, with whom he remained until 1814. That year he was appointed professor of eloquence and poetry at the University of Bologna. A year later he married and lived happily until 1821, when his wife died and he sought solace for the loss in religion .

As a writer, Grilli did not turn to legal literature, but rather worked as a poet. A great modesty distinguished him as a poet and orator; He preferred the judgment and praise of a few friends who seemed competent to him than the favor of the crowd.
