Parenti, Marino [Alessandro Francesco Tommaso Manzoni (7 March 1785 - 22 May 1873) was an Italian poet and novelist. He is famous for the novel The Betrothed (original Italian: I Promessi Sposi) (1840), generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. The novel is also 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].
