An Italian poet; born at Novara, November 1809; died at Bologna, February 1883. He heard the improvisatore Giustiniani, and resolved to rival him. He accordingly improvised in the principal cities of Italy, in France, Switzerland, and Germany, and with great success. His volumes of verse include: "War" (1832); "Poems: Extemporaneous and Elaborated" (1839); "Songs" (1840); "National Songs" (1841); "Prose and Poetry" (1861-65); "Selected Poems" (1874); "Water" (1878). He also wrote "Dora" (1867), and "History and Literature" (1879).
