Excerpt from Studies on Leopardi, Vol. 1
The closing pages of the Discorso contain an appeal to the young men of Italy to preserve the glorious artistic traditions of their country., As he feels that Italian literature is closer than that of any other nation to Latin and Greek literature, Leo pardi urges all patriotic Italians to unite in resisting the flood of romanticism flowing from the North, which would fain de stroy the stronghold of good taste and of classical tradition.
