Stendhal
Marie-Henri Beyle (; 23 January 1783 – 23 March 1842), better known by his pen name Stendhal (, ; ), was a 19th-century French writer. Best known for the novels ''Le Rouge et le Noir'' (''The Red and the Black'', 1830) and ''La Chartreuse de Parme'' (''The Charterhouse of Parma'', 1839), he is highly regarded for the acute analysis of his characters' psychology and considered one of the early and foremost practitioners of realism.

Palazzo Arese
Palazzo Arese (also known as Palazzo Arese Lucini and Palazzo Arese Pallavicini) was a 16th century baroque palace and seat of a branch of the House of Arese in Milan, Italy.

San Babila, Milan
San Babila is a Romanesque-style Roman Catholic church in Milan, region of Lombardy, Italy.

Apographa
Apographa refers to established copies or transcripts of certain texts, usually religious or ecclesiastical, rather than the original autographs by the original authors or writers. Issues There are scholars and theologians who consider only the original autographs of Scripture as infallible and as final authority, while others hold more to what is called the "Ecclesiastical Text" view, that Scripture canon is also authoritative in various renderings in later copies or manuscript traditions, or established "apo-grapha" (meaning "copied-writings"), and not just the original autographs alone. The reason being that the "original autographs" no longer actually exist, in tangible extant form, so later verified copies of copies, or "apographa", are the only real tangible or present "canon" that we have, and providentially preserved for current knowledge. And that the "apographa" or "Ecclesiastical Text" is all that is really available and should be mainly considered realistically, fr ...

Silvio Pellico
Silvio Pellico (; 24 June 1789 – 31 January 1854) was an Italian writer, poet, dramatist and patriot active in the Italian unification. Biography Silvio Pellico was born in Saluzzo (Piedmont).

The Last Letters Of Jacopo Ortis
''Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis'' (''The Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis'') is an epistolary novel written by Ugo Foscolo between 1798 and 1802 and first published later that year. A second edition, with major changes, was published by Foscolo in Zurich (1816) and a third one in London (1817). The model was Goethe's novel ''The Sorrows of Young Werther'' (1774). Another influence is Rousseau's ''Julie, or the New Heloise'' (1761). Foscolo's work was also inspired by the political events that occurred in Northern Italy during the Napoleonic period, when the Treaty of Campoformio forced Foscolo to go into exile from Venice to Milan. The autobiographic elements reflect into the novel. ''Ortis'' is composed of letters written by Jacopo to his friend Lorenzo Alderani; the last chapter is the description of the young man's last hours and suicide written by Lorenzo. The plot is located in the countryside near Padua and takes place between October 1797 and March 1799. Jacopo Ortis is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
