Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Antonio Manzoni was an Italian poet and philosopher. He is famous for the novel The Betrothed ranked among the masterpieces of world literature; the novel is a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento, both for its patriotic message and because it was a fundamental milestone in the development of the modern, unified Italian language. Manzoni contributed to the stabilization of the modern Italian language and helped to insure linguistic unity throughout Italy, he was an influential proponent of Liberal Catholicism in Italy. Manzoni was born in Milan, Italy, on 7 March 1785. Pietro, his father, aged about fifty, belonged to an old family of Lecco feudal lords of Barzio, in the Valsassina; the poet's maternal grandfather, Cesare Beccaria, was a well-known author and philosopher, his mother Giulia had literary talent as well. The young Alessandro spent his first two years in cascina Costa in Galbiate and he was wet-nursed by Caterina Panzeri, as attested by a memorial tablet affixed in the place.

In 1792 his parents broke their marriage and his mother began a relationship with the writer Carlo Imbonati, moving to England and to Paris. For this reason, Alessandro was brought up in several religious institutes. Manzoni was a slow developer, at the various colleges he attended he was considered a dunce. At fifteen, however, he wrote two sonnets of considerable merit. Upon the death of his father in 1807, he joined the freethinking household of his mother at Auteuil, spent two years mixing with the literary set of the so-called "ideologues", philosophers of the 18th-century school, among whom he made many friends, notably Claude Charles Fauriel. There too he imbibed the anti-Catholic creed of Voltairianism. In 1806–1807, while at Auteuil, he first appeared before the public as a poet, with two works, one entitled Urania, in the classical style, of which he became the most conspicuous adversary, the other an elegy in blank verse, on the death of Count Carlo Imbonati, from whom, through his mother, he inherited considerable property, including the villa of Brusuglio, thenceforward his principal residence.

In 1808, Manzoni married daughter of a Genevese banker. She came from a Calvinist family, her conversion profoundly influenced her husband. That same year he experienced a religious crisis which led him from Jansenism to an austere form of Catholicism. Manzoni's marriage proved a happy one, he led for many years a retired domestic life, divided between literature and the picturesque husbandry of Lombardy, his intellectual energy in this period of his life was devoted to the composition of the Inni sacri, a series of sacred lyrics, of a treatise on Catholic morality, Osservazioni sulla morale cattolica, a task undertaken under religious guidance, in reparation for his early lapse from faith. In 1818 he had to sell his paternal inheritance, his characteristic generosity was shown at this time in his dealings with his peasants, who were indebted to him. He not only cancelled on the spot the record of all sums owed to him, but bade them keep for themselves the whole of the coming maize harvest. In 1819, Manzoni published his first tragedy, Il Conte di Carmagnola, boldly violating all classical conventions, excited a lively controversy.

It was criticized in a Quarterly Review article to which Goethe replied in its defence, "one genius," as Count de Gubernatis remarks, "having divined the other." The death of Napoleon in 1821 inspired Manzoni's powerful stanzas Il Cinque maggio, one of the most popular lyrics in the Italian language. The political events of that year, the imprisonment of many of his friends, weighed much on Manzoni's mind, the historical studies in which he sought distraction during his subsequent retirement at Brusuglio suggested his great work. Round the episode of the Innominato identified with Bernardino Visconti, the first manuscript of the novel The Betrothed began to grow into shape, was completed in September 1823; the work was published, after being reshaped by the author and revised by friends in 1825–1827, at the rate of a volume a year. It is agreed to be his greatest work, the paradigm of modern Italian language; the Penguin Companion to European Literature notes that'the book's real greatness lies in its delineation of character...in the heroine, Lucia, in Padre Cristoforo, the Capuchin friar, the saintly cardinal of Milan, he has created three living examples of that pure and wholehearted Christianity, his ideal.

But his psychological penetration extends to those who fall short of this standard, whether through weakness or perversity, the novel is rich in pictures of ordinary men and women, seen with a delightful irony and disenchantment which always stops short of cynicism, which provides a perfect balance for the evangelical fervour of his ideal'. In 1822, Manzoni published his second tragedy, turning on the overthrow by Charlemagne of the Lombard domination in Italy, containing many veiled allusions to the existing Austrian rule. With these works Manzoni's literary career was closed, but he laboriously revised The Betrothed in Tuscan-Italian, in 1840 republished it in that form, with a historical essay, Storia della colonna infame, on details of the 17th-century plague in Milan so important in the novel. He wrote a small treatise on the Italian language; the death of Manzoni
