MAMELI, GOFFREDO (18271849)

This article appears in Volume V17, Page 519 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MAL-MAR
MAMELI, GOFFREDO (18271849) , Italian poet and patriot, was born at Genoa of a noble Sardinian family. He received a sound classical education at the Scolopi College, and later studied law and philosophy at the university of Genoa. When nineteen years old he corresponded with Mazzini, to whom he became whole-heartedly devoted; among other patriotic poems he wrote a hymn to the Bandiera
brothers
 , and in the autumn of 1847 a song called " Fratelli d'Italia," which as
Carducci
  wrote, " resounded through every
district
  and on every battlefield of the peninsula in 1848 and 1849." Mameli served in the National Guard at Genoa, and then joined the volunteers in the Lombard campaign of 1848, but after the collapse of the
movement
  in Lombardy he went to Rome, where the ;republic was proclaimed and whence he sent the famous despatch to Mazzini: "Roma! Repubblica! Venite! " At first he wrote political articles in the
newspapers
 , but when the French army approached the city with hostile intentions he joined the fighting ranks and soon won Garibaldi's esteem by his bravery. Although wounded in the engagement of the 3oth of April, he at once resumed his place in the ranks, but on the 3rd of June he was again wounded much more severely, and died in the Pellegrini
hospital
 
    See Also:
on the 6th of July 1849. Besides the poems mentioned above, he wrote hymns to Dante, to the Apostles, " Dio e popolo," &c. The
chief
  merit of his
work
  lies in the spontaneity and enthusiasm for the Italian cause which rendered it famous, in spite of certain technical imperfections, and he well deserved the epithet of " The Tyrtaeus of the Italian revolution."
See A. G.
Barrili
 , " G. Mameli nella vita e nell' arte," in Nuova Antologia (June 1, 1902); the same writer's edition of the Scritti editi ed inediti di G. Mameli (Genoa, 1902); Countess Martinengo Cesaresco, Italian Characters (London, 1901) ; A. Lazio, Profili Biografici (
