Manzoni was a central figure for Italy and Europe in the political, religious and philosophical debate of the nineteenth century. A reserved and bashful man, Manzoni tended towards a rational, lucid and suffered inner search.
This is the portrait of Alessandro Manzoni that emerges from the new publication of the Literary Letters, promoted by the Centro Studi Studi Manzoniani. We spoke with Irene Gambacorti, a researcher at the Department of Humanities and Philosophy, who edited the work, together with Laura Diafani, a former research fellow at the University.
