Biography

Captain of the Roman University Battalion,[1] [2] participated with Giovanni Veneziani and Francesco Dall'Ongaro in the defense of the Roman Republic of 1849, of which he wrote the Memoirs, published posthumously in 1926.He was the author of dramas and poems, professor of Italian literature and scholar of Dante, taught Italian students at the Academy of Vienna.[3] He travelled to Europe, Africa and Asia.[4] He was also interested in hypnotism and spiritualism.[5]

A man of strong character and Mazzinian faith, he never wanted to deny his republican political conviction, which led him to remain inflexible to any act of devotion to the monarchy, suffering as a result, even as a scholar and writer, an ostracism that embittered his existence. On September 15, 1876, with a ceremony in Campidoglio, in the presence of Mayor Pietro Venturi, he donated to the City of Rome the flag of the University Battalion[6] that he had kept after the fall of the Republic in 1849.
