abstract="This article sheds light on the tragedian Francesco Benedetti, a patriot affiliated with the Carboneria from 1808 onwards and who committed suicide in 1821. Ill-disposed both towards Alfieri and Romanticism, Benedetti thought of thea-tre as a school of &quot;public and private virtue&quot; and centred his works on heroic characters whose sacrifice was supposed to engender in audiences and readers alike a new awareness of their duties towards the downtrodden fatherland. © 2019 Loffredo Editore SpA.
