A false edition of the Comedy , and its truth

Abstract

Giuseppe Mazzini announced, but never actually wrote, a biography of the Italian patriot and poet, Ugo Foscolo. This article recounts Foscolo’s last years in exile by means of available documents in order to explain why Mazzini renounced the writing of Foscolo’s biography and decided instead to complete and publish, under the latter’s name, an edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy that Foscolo had merely begun to sketch.
