- Writer
Alessandro Manzoni is one of Italy's most famous writer. His historical
novel, I promessi sposi (The Betrothed), is one of the first written in
Italy, somehow influenced by Walter Scott. He wrote three different
versions of the novel, and for each he improved the use of the language
in order to find a form that would not be too local, thus he is
considered one of the fathers of modern Italian.
