Leopoldo Marenco
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leopoldo Marenco (Nov. 8, 1831 – April 30, 1899)[1] was an Italian dramatic poet, now known as a librettist.
Born at Ceva, his father was Carlo Marenco. Like his father he held a government post under the Treasury Department, one which took him to Sardinia.
In 1860 he became professor of Latin literature at Bologna University, and later occupied a similar chair at Milan University. In 1871 he retired to Turin.
