Giulio Perticari

Giulio Perticari was born in Savignano sul Rubicone, a small town about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southeast of Forlì.[1] He was the eldest son of a noble family from Pesaro.[2] At the age of ten he was sent to the provincial college of Fano, and in 1801 he moved to Rome, where he studied mathematics, jurisprudence, and literature.[2] Perticari was one of the defenders of the neoclassicists, against the new-fangled romantics. In 1812, he married Costanza Monti, and became a close literary associate of her father, the poet Vincenzo Monti.[2] In the dispute about the Italian language, he became Monti's chief supporter against purism. Perticari's Degli scrittori del Trecento e de' loro imitatori (1818) and Dell'amor patrio di Dante e del suo libro intorno al Volgare Eloquio (1820) maintain that the language of every other century has equal claims with that of the fourteenth to be regarded as the true Italian. In 1819, he founded the literary magazine Giornale Arcadico, of which he was a regular contributor.[2] Perticari died on 26 June 1822 in San Costanzo.[3]
