(Welsh 4796. Spielmann 335A. Mikrobiblion 154. Grolier 88) Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni was an Italian poet and novelist. He is famous for the novel The Betrothed (orig. Italian: I Promessi Sposi), generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. The novel is also a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento, both for its patriotic message and because it was a fundamental milestone in the development of the modern, unified Italian language. See Wiki.
