I Canti by Giacomo Leopardi
"I Canti" by Giacomo Leopardi is a collection of poems written in 1835. Considered one of Italian poetry's most significant works, this collection traces Leopardi's evolution from patriotic laments about Italy's fallen greatness to profound philosophical pessimism. Through forty-one poems, Leopardi explores themes of infinite space, lost virtue, mortality, and humanity's essential unhappiness. His verses transform personal suffering into universal meditations on existence, where ancient ideals clash with modern disillusionment, and nature
appears indifferent to human longing. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
