Giovanni Agostino Placido Pascoli (San Mauro di Romagna, 31 December 1855 - Bologna, 6 April 1912). One hundred years after the disappearance of one of the most important figures in European literature, which has marked Italian poetry indelibly, the words that the author from Romagna dedicated to San Marino still resound as if they were true and fresh. Strophes of the powerful Latin production of Alcaiche, offered as praise and greeting (Mons Titan - 1894), on the occasion of the inauguration of the Government Palace to which the poet was invited together with Giosuè Carducci. The public headquarters will see him, a few years later, still protagonist when he will pronounce a speech in memory of the Maestro disappeared. On that occasion, inaugurating a herma of the Tuscan poet, he will say the prayer "To the glory of Giosuè Carducci and Giuseppe Garibaldi",(Speech delivered in San Marino on 30 September 1907 at the presence of the Regency) Bringing together in the speech the vate of the third Italy and the Hero of the two worlds. The presence of Pascoli that finds its adhesion in a telegram of the time very explanatory: "After long hesitation force to accept the invitation love for the native region and admiration for the Republic of San Marino, the flower of poetry in the severe way of history".
