Ugo Foscolo

Ugo Foscolo (died 1827) was born on Zakynthos, in the Ionian Islands, on 6 February 1778, to a physician father and a Greek mother, Diamantina Spathis. Settled in Venice, he waited there for a free republic from Bonaparte, and saw the Treaty of Campoformio, in 1797, hand the city over to Austria. He then served in the troops of the Cisalpine Republic. In 1809 he taught at Pavia, where his chair was abolished. Having left for Switzerland in 1815, he reached England in 1816. He died near London on 10 September 1827; his remains were transferred in 1871 to Santa Croce, in Florence.
