The Poems of Giovanni Pascoli, Translated in English, next to their
Original Italian Text. Giovanni Pascoli (b. at San Mauro Romagna,
December 31, 1855, d. at Barga April 6, 1912) was a classical scholar
and one of the greatest European poets of his times. The work of
Giovanni Pascoli is considered the beginning of modern Italian poetry.
Amidst the thick fog, in the rough seas and the rugged shores of a
country divided by historic, cultural, and linguistic barriers, Pascoli
become the lighthouse to point to, in order to find a common language
and a way to unity. In appearance, he often simply spoke of “little
things:” bucolic scenes, small images of nature, peasants and their
everyday chores; even animals, birds, plants, and flowers with mystical
names found their cozy spot under the beaming sun of Pascoli’s marvelous
pen.
