Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827) was a prominent figure of Italian pre-Romanticism, known for his lyrical poetry and his novel "Le ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis". Born in Zante, then a Venetian colony, Foscolo lived in a period of intense political transformations in Europe, which profoundly marked his life and work. He was exiled several times due to his political convictions and his opposition to foreign domination in Italy. His writing is characterized by an elevated style, passion, and a deep sense of idealism, mixing neoclassical elements with emerging romantic sensibility. In addition to his literary production, Foscolo also stood out as a literary critic and translator. He died in exile in England.
