Giovanni Pascoli

Giovanni Pascoli (died 1912) was born in San Mauro di Romagna on 31 December 1855. A pupil of Giosuè Carducci at the University of Bologna, he frequented socialist circles and spent time in prison. A secondary-school teacher in Matera and Massa, then a university professor in Messina and Pisa, he succeeded Carducci in his chair at Bologna. His Latin poems won him numerous prizes abroad. In 1895 he settled with his sister Maria at Castelvecchio, near Barga. He died in Bologna on 6 April 1912.
