Girolamo Graziani (/ɪˈrləˌm ˌɡrɑːtsiˈɑːni/[1]) was one of the most famous poets of the 17th century, but his fame didn't survive him. During his life he was appreciated mainly for his epic poems La Cleopatra (1632) and Il Conquisto di Granata (1650).

The latter has been the source for Giacomo Leopardi's Consalvo (1833). In fact, the plot (Love in the imminence of death) and the names of the main characters (Consalvo and Elvira) of Leopardi's Consalvo seem to come from Graziani's poem.


Biography


Girolamo Graziani (1604–1675) was born in Pergola, near Urbino, but he spent most of his life in Modena.

His father was a law attendant in the Sacra Rota Romana. He earned a degree in Arts and Law from the University of Bologna.

Graziani spent most of his life at the Este court of Modena, as State Secretary. In his diplomatic career, he helped establish close diplomatic ties with the court of France, especially as of the 1650s, when the niece of Cardinal Mazarin, Laura Martinozzi, became the new Duchess of Modena.[2] In 1673, during the governance of Laura Martinozzi, he managed, as Este's ambassador, the diplomatic aspect of the marriage between Laura Martinozzi's daughter, Maria Beatrice d'Este (1658–1718), and James Stuart (who will become King James II of England). The marriage had been sponsored by Louis XIV of France. In the same year, Graziani published his tragedy Il Cromuele, expressly unrespectful of Aristotle's rules. It deals with the theme of the dark cruel tyrant, (Oliver Cromwell) and the royalty prophanation (Charles I of England's martyrdom).

Graziani published his first book of poetry at the age of sixteen, and was a member of the Accademia degli Incogniti of Venice and the Accademia dei Gelati. His published works include poetry, political writings, panegyrics, laudatory and love sonnets, and two epic poems, La Cleopatra (Venice: Sarzina, 1632) and Il Conquisto di Granata, which had five editions in the seventeenth century.[2]

According to some of his contemporary biographers, he also made any effort in order to publish an "Historia" about the period between the end of Castro's War and the Treaty of the Pyrenees. But the "Historia" was not published, and has since been lost.

Graziani est l'auteur d'un important poème épique consacré à la prise de Grenade, qui a été non seulement beaucoup lu et apprécié au XVIIe siècle, mais également relu et réapprécié plus tard – notamment par Giacomo Leopardi qui en a puisé son inspiration pour son « Consalvo »[1].
