An Italian poet; born in Brescia, July 2, 1782; died there, July 2, 1836. He laid the foundation of his success with a poem on "The Cultivation of the Olive" (1808), which won for him a professorship of history and literature; it still ranks among the best specimens of Italian didactic poetry. He wrote many lyric pieces, but his chief distinction is as a poet of bucolic and pastoral themes. He left in an incomplete state an epic on "The Destruction of Jerusalem".
