Alessandro Arnaboldi (1827–1896)
Arnaboldi, Alessandro (är-nä-bol’di). An Italian poet; born in Milan, Dec. 19, 1827; studied law in Pavia and entered the government service, but resigned in 1873 owing to an optic infirmity, and lived in retirement near Milan; died in 1896. On the publication of a volume of ‘Verses’ (1872), he was hailed by his countrymen as the peer of Manzoni and Leopardi, while Dall’ Ongaro even styled him the greatest living poet of Italy. A second collection of his poems appeared as ‘New Verses’ (1888).
