Angela Veronese (20 December 1778 - 8 October 1847) was an Italian poet.

Biography

Angela Veronese was born in Montebelluna, 20 December 1778. Her parents were Pietro Rinaldo and Lucia.[1]

When she was very young, she moved first to Treviso (in the villa of Ca 'Zenobio), and then to Venice where she contracted smallpox. In Venice, she was expelled from a female college. She remained in Venice under the auspices of the Zenobio counts, on whose behalf her family worked. In this period, she became fond of poetry, beginning to compose sonnets and other rhymes, which she collected under the name of Aglaia Anassillide (or Aglaja Anassillide), taken from the Arcadian tradition. Veronese is one of the significant writers in the history of early nineteenth-century Italian literature and is therefore registered in "Le Autrici della Letteratura Italiana" (The Authors of Italian Literature).[2] She died in Padua, 8 October 1847.
