Giuseppe Regaldi

Giuseppe Regaldi (born November 18, 1809 in Novara , † February 14, 1883 in Bologna ) was an Italian poet .

Life

Giuseppe Regaldi studied law in Turin , failed his exam, but immediately achieved great success as an improviser (1833). He then went on trips as such, was expelled from Milan in 1834 and from Parma in 1835 as dangerous to the state, continued his art tour and went to France in 1839 . Here he was heard publicly , first in Marseilles , then in Paris , and particularly aroused the enthusiastic applause of the French with his ode Il salice di Sant'Elena . Joseph Autran and Alphonse de Lamartine addressed him in verse, and Victor Hugo and Edgar Quinet gave him encouraging applause.

Returning to Italy, Regaldi first lived in Naples and Sicily , was politically suspected in 1849 and imprisoned for a short time and then went on a long journey to the Orient and Greece . After his return home (1853) he settled in Piedmont , then took over the professorship of history at the Parma Lyceum in 1860, one at the University of Cagliari in 1862 , and finally at the University of Bologna in 1866 . He died on February 14, 1883 at the age of 73 in Bologna.

Regaldi's published poems, which show a rich poetic streak and great rhetorical momentum, mostly directed towards the great thoughts and interests of the life of nations, often also drawing their motives from the life of nature, are as follows:

La guerra , Turin 1832
Canti lirici editi e inediti , Voghera 1834
