Angeliki Palli
Angeliki Palli (1798 – 1875) was a Greek-Italian writer, translator and early feminist.
The daughter of a rich Greek merchant,[1] she was born in Livorno, Tuscany and grew up in the Greek community there. She spoke Greek, French and Italian. Palli wrote tragedies, dramas, short stories, romantic novels and poems.[2] In 1851, she published a feminist essay targeted at young mothers Discorso di una donna alle giovani maritote del suo paese.[3] One of the themes in her work was the Greek struggle for independence from the Turks.[2] She married the Italian politician Giampaolo Bartolomei.[1]
Palli translated works by William Shakespeare, Victor Hugo and by French and Greek poets into Italian.[2]
Her literary salon attracted intellectuals of the time including Ugo Foscolo, Lord Byron, Alessandro Manzoni, Andreas Kalvos, Alphonse de Lamartine, Giovanni Battista Niccolini, Giuseppe Mazzini and Firmin Didot.[1]
