| Summary | "Leopardi" by Federico De Roberto is a biographical study written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the life and creative genius of the Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi, exploring his extraordinary imagination, sensitivity, and the philosophical depth that characterized his literary contributions. The book appears to be an insightful examination of Leopardi's dual nature as both a poet and philosopher, illustrating the complexities of his character and his struggles with health and existential despair. The opening of the work introduces us to the early years of Giacomo Leopardi, highlighting his precocious talents and vivid imagination. At the age of eight, Leopardi is depicted as a storyteller who created elaborate tales to entertain his siblings, showcasing his ability to infuse life into his characters. As he matured, his literary prowess was accompanied by an intense sensitivity that influenced both his poetry and his philosophy. The text reveals the early signs of his struggle with physical ailments and emotional turmoil, foreshadowing the profound influence of these factors on his later works and his overall perspective on life.
