Silvio Pellico (Italian: [ˈsilvjo ˈpɛlliko]; 24 June 1789 – 31 January 1854) was an Italian writer, poet, dramatist and patriot active in the Italian unification.

Silvio Pellico was born in Saluzzo (Piedmont). He spent the earlier portion of his life at Pinerolo and Turin, under the tuition of a priest named Manavella. At the age of ten he composed a tragedy inspired by a translation of the Ossianic poems.

“Bella è sempre la pietà verso gl'infelici; sino verso i rei. La legge può aver diritto di condannarli; l'uomo non ha mai diritto d'esultare del lor dolore, né di dipingerli con colori più neri del vero.”
Silvio Pellico
