Giacomo Leopardi

1798–1837

View full profile →

Giacomo Leopardi (1798–1837) was an Italian poet, philosopher, and philologist whose pessimistic materialism and lyrical despair shaped modern thought. Born into a noble but impoverished family in Recanati, he suffered chronic illness and isolation, channeling his erudition into works like *Zibaldone* and *Canti* that explore the vanity of human desire and the indifferent cruelty of nature.
