Alessandro Manzoni, born in Milan in 1785, grew up rejecting rigid religious education and embraced anticlerical politics and neoclassical literature. After moving to Paris, he explored romanticism and married Enrichetta Blondel in 1810, through whom he returned to Catholic faith. He dedicated himself to literature, creating works like 'Odi' and tragedies reflecting on historical events with a divine perspective, while also working on 'Fermo e Lucia,' a precursor to his major work 'I Promessi Sposi.' A trip to Florence in 1827 refined his literary style, producing the successful 1827 edition of his work that highlighted social realism and moral reflections. His life changed with a new marriage and friendship with Antonio Rosmini, gaining admiration in Milan's bourgeois society. He witnessed the 1848 uprisings with interest but did not participate. His focus on national unification and the Italian language continued until his death in 1873, after which Giuseppe Verdi composed a requiem mass in his honor.
