Giovanni Bertacchi
Giovanni Bertacchi (born February 9, 1869 in Chiavenna , † November 24, 1942 in Milan ) was an Italian poet, Romanist , Italianist and literary scholar.
life and work
Bertacchi studied in Milan (graduated in 1892 with the work La Raccolta giuntina di rime antiche ) and was a high school teacher there. In 1898 he spent a few months in exile in Bergell , which were decisive for his further life orientation. From 1916 to 1938 he was professor of Italian literature at the University of Padua . He resigned from his chair in protest against fascist politics . Bertacchi's poetic work, which has since been forgotten, has received new honors, primarily in his homeland since the end of the 20th century.
The Rifugio Giovanni Bertacchi was named after him.
