Cesare Pascarella
Cesare Pascarella (28 April 1858 - 8 May 1940), was an Italian dialect poet and a painter. He was appointed to the Royal Academy of Italy in 1930.Pascarella was born in Rome and initially was a painter. His literary activity began in 1881 with the publication of sonnets in Romanesco dialect. In the same period he made friends with Gabriele D'Annunzio. He made a series of journeys through Africa, India and the Americas in 1882–1885. On his return to Rome he published the collection ''Villa Glori'', who was hailed as a masterwork by Giosuè Carducci. Also well received was the imaginative ''La scoperta dell'America'' (1893).
In 1905 Pascarella began ''Storia nostra'', a history of Rome which was planned as a sequence of 350 sonnets, but was left unfinished after 270 had been written.
He founded in 1904 with other artists, among which Giuseppe Ferrari, the group "XXV della campagna romana".
Pascarella's papers, his library, photographs, paintings and drawings were purchased by the Royal Academy of Italy (now Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei) in 1940. The body is entirely ordered. Provided by Wikipedia
