Ugo Foscolo - Ugo Foscolo Ugo Foscolo (1778-1827), Italian writer, was born at Zante in the Ionian Isles on the January 26 1778. On the death of his father, a physician at Spalato, in Dalmatia, the family removed to Venice, and in the University of Padua Foscolo prosecuted the studies begun in the Dalmatian grammar school. The fact that amongst his Paduan masters was the abbé Cesarotti, whose version of Ossian had made that work highly popular in Italy, was not without influence on Foscolo's literary tastes, and his early knowledge of modern facilitated his studies in ancient Greek. His literary ambition revealed itself by the appearance in 1797 of his tragedy Tieste--a production which obtained a certain degree of success. Foscolo, who, from causes not clearly explained, had.
Hendecasyllable - for an hendecasyllable are stresses on 6th and 10th syllables (Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita, Dante Alighieri, first line of The Divine Comedy), and on 4th, 7th and 10th syllables (Un incalzar di cavalli accorrenti, Ugo Foscolo, I Sepolcri). Most classical Italian poems are composed of hendecasyllables, for instance, the main works by Dante, Francesco Petrarca, Ludovico Ariosto, and Torquato Tasso. It has a role in Italian poetry, and a formal structure, comparable to the iambic pentameter in English or the alexandrine in French..
Henry Francis Cary - was published in 1805, together with the original text. Soon afterwards Cary moved to London, where he became reader at Berkeley chapel, and subsequently lecturer at Chiswick and curate of the Savoy. His version of the whole Divina Commedia did not appear till 1814. It was published at Cary's own expense, as the publisher refused to undertake the risk, owing to the failure incurred over the Inferno. The translation was brought to the notice of Samuel Rogers by Thomas Moore. Rogers made some additions to an article on it by Ugo Foscolo in the Edinburgh Review. This article, and praise bestowed on the work by Coleridge in a lecture at the Royal Institution, led to a general acknowledgment of its merit. Cary's Dante thus gradually took its place among standard works,.
Gino Capponi - not being satisfied with the life of a mere man of fashion, he devoted himself to serious study and foreign travel. After sundry journeys in Italy he again visited Paris in. 1818, and then went to England. He became deeply interested in English institutions, and carefully studied the constitution, the electoral system, university life, industrial organization, etc. At Edinburgh he met Francis Jeffrey, the editor of the Edinburgh Review, and conceived a desire to found a similar review in Italy. Besides knowing Jeffrey he made the acquaintance of many prominent statesmen and men of letters, including Lord John Russell, the duke of Bedford, Dugald Stewart, Ugo Foscolo, etc. This visit had a great effect in forming his character, and while it made him an ardent Anglophile, he realized more and more.

Vittorio Gassman - (but he was also able to render, perfectly and when needed, most of the many Italian dialects). Quite bravely, he accepted the challenge of directing Adelchi, one of the less known and less "easy" works by Alessandro Manzoni. He toured his production to half a million spectators, crossing Italy with his Teatro Popolare Itinerante (a newer edition of the famous Carro di Tespi). His productions include most of the famous authors of 20th century, with repeated returns tothe classics of Shakespeare, Dostoevskij and the Greeks. He also founded a theatre school in Florence, which formed many of the more talented actors of the current generations. In cinema he worked abroad several times and during a stint in Hollywood he met and married Shelley Winters. But, despite his success in films, Gassman.

Beretta - company was founded in 1526 when a Venice gunsmith, Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta received a large order for musket barrels for the city's arsenal. Today, generations later, the company is owned by Ugo Gussalli Beretta, a direct descendant of the original Bartolomeo. Beretta is most famous for their 92FS 9mm pistol, which has seen much exposure in American action movies, such as the Lethal Weapon series. That gun has at various times been the official sidearm of several first world armies. In 1985, Beretta was chosen during a controversial selection process to produce the M9 9mm sidearm for the United States military. They won a contract for 500,000 units. They are also well known in hunting circles for their top notch shotguns, often embellished with exquisite handcarved stocks and frames..
Castrato - Il Castrato. In 1870 the practice of castrating promising young singers was outlawed in Italy, the last country where it was still in custom. The only acknowledged castrato to make phonograph recordings was Alessandro Moreschi, the last surviving castrato of the Pope's choir. Moreschi recorded disc recordings for the Gramophone & Typewriter Company in 1902 and again in 1904. Critical opinion is divided about Moreschi's recordings; some say they are of little interest other than the novelty of preserving the voice of a castrato for Moreschi was a mediocre singer, while other critics detect the remains of a quite talented singer who was unfortunately past his prime by the time he recorded. In more modern times, Ugo Farell has been suspected of being a castrato. There have also been reported cases.
