About the Author
Ugo Foscolo (1778 1827) is one of the most popular and studied Italian poets. He is most famous for his long poem On Sepulchres , and his unfinished work The Graces. After a life of wanderings, he ended up in London, where he spent the last eleven years of his life mixing with high society and the greatest writers of the day, including Lord Byron. He died in poverty in Turnham Green, now part of London, and his tomb can still be seen in the Chiswick Old Cemetery.
