Website


Iginio Ugo Tarchetti was an Italian author, poet, and journalist.

Born in San Salvatore Monferrato, his military career was cut short by ill health, and in 1865 he settled in Milan. Here he entered literary study, becoming part of the Scapigliatura, a literary movement animated by a spirit of rebellion against traditional culture. He worked on several newspapers and published short stories, novels, and poems. He contracted tuberculosis and died in poverty at the age of 29. [wikipedia]

“Forgetting! It is a form of suicide, a renunciation of the only good the we truly and ineluctably possess: the past. For if joys alone were forgotten, perhaps oblivion would be justly desired. But we are proud and jealous of our sorrows, we love them, we want to remember them. It is they that comprise the crown of life.”
Iginio Ugo Tarchetti

“[M]y sensitivity was unfortunately even more monstrous than my grotesqueness. Yes, my grotesqueness; I possess the courage to judge myself without pity, and to call things by their proper names. If only you knew... how I hate my own self, how much I hate my ugliness, yet never so much as I detest my heart.”
Igino Ugo Tarchetti, Fosca

“Nelle nature buone e generose l'amore non è egoista, egli non è tanto un desiderio di rendere felici se stessi, quanto un bisogno di rendere felici gli altri; non è spesso che una smania di sacrificarsi all'altrui felicità.”
Iginio Ugo Tarchetti, Fosca
