Teobaldo Ciconi (18241863)
Ciconi, Teobaldo (chē-kō’nē). An Italian comic poet (1824–63); born at San Daniele in the district of Friuli. His first collection of lyric poems was published in 1853, and the same year his drama ‘Eleonora of Toldo’; neither had much success. But in 1857 his comedy ‘The Little Stray Sheep’ was received with hearty favor throughout Italy; and not less gratifying was the success of the pieces which succeeded it.
