Abstract: For most of his writing career, Leopardi kept an immense notebook, known as the Zibaldone, in which he recorded his original, wide-ranging, radically modern comments about religion, philosophy, language, history, anthropology, astronomy, literature, poetry, and love. The Zibaldone has been recognized as one of the foundational books of modern culture.
