"The Poems of Giacomo Leopardi" by Giacomo Leopardi is a collection of poems by the famed Italian poet. It's divided into four main phases. The first deals with heroic themes, suicide songs, themes of nature, and the meaning of life. The poetic voice seems to come from the ancient and from nature. The second includes the small idylls and the Pisan-Recanati songs or great idylls. The third is dedicated to Fanny Targioni Tozzetti with whom he fell in love. The last includes two funeral songs.
