Un letterato reggiano di fronte alla Rivoluzione. Luigi Lamberti negli anni della Repubblica romana (1798-1799) e della Repubblica italiana napoleonica (1802-1805)

In addition to being a prominent member of the cultural and literary context in Italy at the beginning of the first Napoleonic Campaign in the Peninsula (1796), Luigi Lamberti was also one of the most fervent promoters of the process of reform during the republican season in Rome (1798-1799) and, similarly, of the birth of Bonaparte’s myth in Milan during the political season of the Italian Republic (1802-1805). This work, based on the proper consultation of vast and previously unpublished documentation, aims to investigate the many proposals that the poet presented in the Roman context and to explore his significant role in the building of Napoleon’s image in Italy under the Consulate.
