	Alessandro Manzoni - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni (March 7, 1785–May 22, 1873) was an Italian poet and novelist.
		Alessandro was a slow developer, and at the various colleges he attended, he was considered a dunce.
		Manzoni's marriage in 1808 to Henriette Blondel, daughter of a Genevese banker, proved a most happy one, and he led for many years a retired domestic life, divided between literature and the picturesque husbandry of Lombardy.

		Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni (March 7, 1785 - May 22, 1873), Italian poet and novelist, was born at Milan.
		Don Pietro, his father, then about fifty, represented an old family settled near Lecco, but originally feudal lords of Barzio, in the Valsassina, where the memory of their violence is still perpetuated in a local proverb, comparing it to that of the mountain torrent.
		Manzoni's intellect was slow in maturing, and at the various colleges where his school days were passed he ranked among the dunces.

	Alessandro Manzoni - Wikipedia
		In seguito alla separazione dei genitori (la madre dal 1792 convive con il colto e ricchissimo Carlo Imbonati, prima in Inghilterra, poi in Francia), Alessandro Manzoni dal 1790 al 1803 viene educato in collegi di religiosi, prima presso i padri Somaschi, poi presso i Barnabiti.
		Alessandro si imbeve della cultura francese classicheggiante in arte, scettica e sensista in filosofia (i sensi sono alla base della conoscenza; l'illuminismo è la critica razionale della realtà; lotta al pregiudizio e alla tradizione derivata dall'autorità; i problemi religiosi non si basano sull'esperienza, ma sulla superstizione) ed assiste all'evoluzione del razionalismo verso posizioni romantiche.
		In seguito Manzoni, laboriosamente, rielaborò I promessi sposi facendo uso dell'italiano nella forma toscana, e nel 1840 pubblicò questa riscrittura, assieme all'opera La storia della colonna infame, che riprende e sviluppa il tema degli untori e della peste, che già tanta parte aveva avuto nel romanzo precedente.

		Manzoni was a warm sympathizer with the aspirations of his country toward political independence, but he took no very active part in public agitation.
		At the end of Chapter xxxii of “I Promessi Sposi,” Manzoni refers to the affair of the anointers of Milan, men who were suspected of smearing the walls of the houses with poison intended to spread the pestilence; but he relegates to another place a full account of the incident.
		For even the laws of torture prohibited the methods by which these men were made to inculpate themselves, and the illegality and monstrosity of the whole proceeding were attributable to a court eager for a conviction at all costs to gratify the thirst for blood of a maddened and ignorant populace.

		Alessandro studiò nei collegi dei padri somaschi, a Merate [Brianza] fino al 1796 e poi (fino al 1798) a Lugano dove ebbe saltuarie lezioni da F. Soave, l'unico insegnante di cui conservò un grato ricordo.
		Mentre Manzoni procede a una revisione delle sue idee religiose: dall'agnosticismo, a una forma di deismo volteriano, poi con un interesse sempre maggiore per i temi teisti.
		Manzoni consta- tava l'inesistenza di una vera lingua italiana, riconosceva a tutti i dialetti la dignità di lingue.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Alessandro Manzoni (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		An ardent patriot, Manzoni was in the fullest sympathy with the movement for the liberation and unification of Italy.
		Manzoni's earliest poem "Il Trionfo della Libert" (1801), an allegorical vision in the Petrarchian manner of liberty triumphing over tyranny and superstition, is markedly influenced by Vincenzo Monti, whom he claims as his master and hails as the greatest poet of the age.
		Among Manzoni's minor prose works are the "Osservazioni sulla morale cattolica" (1819), a defence of Catholicism against the attacks of Sismondi; the "Storia della Colonna infame" (1840), an historical appendix to his romance; the dialogue "Dell' Invenzione" (1845); and an essay on the unity of the Italian language (1868).

		Alessandro Manzoni nasce a Milano nel 1785 da Pietro e Giulia Beccaria.
		Lo stesso anno della sua conversione Manzoni torna a vivere a Milano, dove resterà poi fino alla morte, ad eccezione di alcuni mesi trascorsi a Parigi, tra il 1819 e il 1820, e di qualche breve viaggio a Firenze, nel 1827 e nel 1856.
		Su questa base teorica Manzoni discute il problema dell'unità linguistica italiana: essa, vista la diversificazione notevole della lingua parlata nelle varie regioni, non può essere raggiunta che attraverso l'uniformarsi delle singole parlate a quella di maggior prestigio, cioè alla fiorentina.

		Manzoni, however, does not confuse history by fictionalising it; rather, he weaves documented accounts of historical fact into the course of his novel.
		According to one source cited by Manzoni, the population of the city was reduced from 250,000 to 64,000 by about one year of the plague.
		Manzoni once wrote, "Religion is so beautiful, that almost necessarily it decorates the works where it is introduced, however weakly; its grandeur, wisdom, sweetness and usefulness have, I should say, a literary attraction." Having read his masterpiece, I can say that his work shows the truth of his words.

		Alessandro Manzoni was born in Milan to a noble family in 1785; although he was also a poet, he remains best known for The Betrothed.
		Manzoni magnificently blends together a score of memorable characters with a string of vividly rendered historical events to provide an epic story of frustrated lovers in Italy during the Thirty Years Wars in the early 17th century when the state of Milan was occupied by the Spanish Habsburgs.
		Nearly as powerful is Manzoni's masterful depiction of the bread riots in Milan or the way he describes the progress of the German army in its passage through the region on its way to Mantua.

		Alessandro non esita a dichiararsi «estremamente felice» di aver accontentato Giulia e di constatare che la moglie nutre per la suocera una tenerezza rispettosa e devota, simile a quella di una figlia.

	Il dialogo di Manzoni con Bossuet negli anni della formazione religiosa (France, Alessandro Manzoni, Jacques Benigne ...
		This study shows how Alessandro Manzoni (1785-1873) read and used the work of Jacques-Benigne Bossuet (1627-1704) in the years between his return to Catholicism (approximately 1810) and the publication of his masterpiece, the novel I promessi sposi (1827).
		Initially the young Manzoni is deferential before the respected French theologian; reproduces with little originality some of Bossuet's arguments against the Protestants and in defense of a fixist interpretation of doctrine (chapters 2, and 3); and avoids the discussion of Bossuet's political teachings that were unacceptable to him (chapter 4).
		Manzoni moreover does not completely share the pessimism of the French bishop on salvation (chapter 6); and openly disagrees with his aesthetic reflections (chapter 7).

	Manzoni Alessandro: I promessi sposi and Fermo e Lucia
		Mondadori's prestigious "I Meridiani" collection wouldn't have been complete without the works of Alessandro Manzoni: given however that "I promessi sposi" is one of the foundation stones of Italian literature, published by virtually every publishing company, Mondadori was determined to take a different approach, presenting the volume in an original manner.
		Research carried out by Nigro produced significant findings, perfectly elucidated in the ample prefaces to the volumes: worth noting, his belief that Manzoni was the standard-bearer of the idea of the novel as a journey, a "journey" however as intended by Sterne or Cervantes rather than by Scott or Richardson.
		In a similar way, the illustrations by Gonin (which adorned the 1840 edition and are here reproduced anastatically) constitute a sort of parallel novel or even more than that, considering the obsessive care with which the eminent Milan author checked and scrutinized each one.
