Paper and pen
After completing his studies
he taught classics, succeeding Giosuč
Carducci as professor of literature at Bologna
in 1905.
His
tender poetry, written in pastoral style,
won him international fame; many verses
were inspired by memories of his family.
Also seeing his mission as the chronicling
of Italy's glory, he wrote of historical
and patriotic subjects, earning D'Annunzio's
epithet “the last son of Vergil.” His
works include Carmina (in Latin, 1914);
the more mystical Myricae (1891–1903); and
the patriotic Odi e inni (1906). Pascoli
remains one of Italy's best-loved poets.

Pascoli,
Giovanni, 1855–1912, Italian
poet. Pascoli's childhood was marked by
a series of tragedies: the deaths of his
parents and of five of his brothers and
sisters. A radical in his student days at
the Univ. of Bologna, he was subdued
by imprisonment (1879) for his political
activities.
