Silvio Pellico

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Pellico, Silvio 

Born June 25, 1789, in Saluzzo; died Jan. 31, 1854, in Turin. Italian writer.

Pellico took part in the Risorgimento. His tragedy Francesca da Rimini (1815; Russian translation, 1861) expressed heroic and patriotic themes. In 1818 and 1819 he edited the progressive journal Il Conciliatore. In 1820, as a participant in a Carbonari conspiracy, he was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to 15 years’ imprisonment in the Spielberg fortress. Freed in 1830, he abandoned political activity. Pellico’s autobiography, Le mie prigioni (My Prisons, 1832; Russian translation, 1836), a work imbued with inner dignity and stoic patience, was praised by A. S. Pushkin. It was translated into many languages and contributed to the development of the Italian national liberation movement.

Questo e ad esempio il caso nel film di Livio Pavanelli del 1911, e cioe Silvio Pellico, che con la sceneggiatura di Augusto Jandolo andava a rivisitare la vita del poeta di Saluzzo, incluso il periodo trascorso nella prigione di Spielberg prima e in quella dei Piombi poi, quando egli scrisse il suo capolavoro, Le mie prigioni.
