EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colored engraving showcases Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873), a pivotal figure in Italian literature and the leader of the National Romantic movement. Born in Milan, Manzoni's literary prowess and commitment to the Italian language earned him a significant place in the annals of Italian history. Manzoni's literary contributions extended beyond the realm of literature, as he was an active participant in the political and social upheavals of his time. In 1848, he took part in the Milanese revolt against the Austrian rule, advocating for Italian unity and independence. Later, in 1860, he was appointed as a senator in the newly-established Kingdom of Italy. In this portrait, Manzoni is depicted in formal attire, wearing a bow tie and a neatly-tied cravat. His sideburns and white hair add to his distinguished appearance. The engraving captures the intensity and wisdom in his eyes, reflecting the depth of his thoughts and the passion that fueled his writing and political activism. This image of Alessandro Manzoni serves as a reminder of the rich literary and political history of Italy during the 19th century. It is a testament to the enduring influence of Manzoni's work and his role as a trailblazer for Italian unity and independence.
