Translator’s Note:
The poems of the Canti above are complete but not in their originally published order. I have taken the liberty
of re-arranging them into four groups, Personal, Philosophical, ‘Romantic’ and Political. These categories are
not exact, as Leopardi frequently blends elements together in the one poem, but they may help the reader, as
they helped me, to adjust to his variations in style. The original published position of each poem is given in
Roman numerals in the brackets following the poem’s title.
