Ugo Foscolo (; 6 February 1778 in Zakynthos – 10 September 1827 in Turnham Green), born Niccolò Foscolo, was an Italian writer, revolutionary and poet.〔(Biography at Infotube )〕 He is remembered especially for his 1807 poetry book ''Dei sepolcri''. ==Early life== Foscolo was born on the Ionian island of Zakynthos (Zante). His father was Andrea Foscolo, an impoverished Venetian nobleman, and his mother Diamantina Spathis was Greek.〔Ugo Foscolo: An Italian in Regency England, Vincent, Eric Reginald Pearce, 1894, University Press, p.106〕〔The Chronicles of Fleetwood House, Adam John Shirren, 1977 Pacesetter Press, p.155〕〔Introduction to Italian Poetry, Rebay, Luciano, Courier Dover Publications, p.97〕〔Dictionary of Italian Literature, Bondanella, Julia Conaway, Peter E. Bondanella, Greenwood Press, p.215, ISBN 0-313-20421-7〕〔The Australian Library Journal, 1951 Library Association of Australia, University of Michigan, p.179〕 In 1788, on the death of his father, who worked as a physician in Spalato, today Croatia (Split), the family removed to Venice, and at the University of Padua Foscolo completed the studies begun at the Dalmatian grammar school. Amongst his Paduan teachers was the abbé Cesarotti, whose version of Ossian had made that work highly popular in Italy, and who influenced Foscolo's literary tastes; he knew both modern and Ancient Greek. His literary ambition revealed itself by the appearance in 1797 of his tragedy ''Tieste''—a production which obtained a certain degree of success. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ugo Foscolo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
