Giuseppe Giusti

Giuseppe Giusti (died 1850) was born in Monsummano, near Pistoia, in May 1809, the son of a well-off landowner. He studied in Florence, Pistoia and Lucca, then read law at Pisa, where it took him eight years to obtain his degree, in 1834; he never practised. His political satires targeted Austrian domination and the failings of the society of his time. He was a friend of Alessandro Manzoni. Elected in 1848 to the Tuscan parliament, he died in Florence in 1850.
