About the author

Torquato Tasso (11 March 1544 – 25 April 1595) was an Italian poet of the 16th century, best known for his poem La Gerusalemme liberata (Jerusalem Delivered) (1580), in which he depicts a highly imaginative version of the combats between Christians and Muslims at the end of the First Crusade, during the siege of Jerusalem. He died a few days before he was due to be crowned as the king of poets by the Pope. Until the beginning of the 19th century, Tasso remained one of the most widely read poets in Europe.

Rileggere Tasso in chiave romantica...

Tasso era una passione dei romantici italiani, in particolare dello scrittore Pietro Borsieri che aveva dedicato alla sua vita avventurosa e tormentata una trilogia teatrale che sparì all'epoca in cui Borsieri venne arrestato e poi condannato nell'ambito del processo Confalonieri... quindi sto rileggendo Tasso in chiave romantica con la speranza di avere uno dei miei colpi di fortuna ossia ritrovare il testo del Borsieri, ma forse sto chiedendo troppo al povero Tasso!
