You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 100.26.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:56, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((short description|Italian writer and activist (1831–1861)))
'''Ippolito Nievo''' (((IPA-it|ipˈpɔːlito ˈnjɛːvo; ˈnjeː-)); 30 November 1831 – 4 March 1861) was an [[Italians|Italian]] writer, journalist and patriot. His ''Confessions of an Italian'' is widely considered the most important [[novel]] about the Italian [[Italian unification|Risorgimento]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.raicultura.it/letteratura/articoli/2018/12/Ippolito-Nievo-scrittore-e-patriota-ccf0c815-011c-475e-8c94-c4c7dce2ee3e.html|title=Ippolito Nievo, scrittore e patriota|access-date=6 December 2018))</ref>
[[File:Portogruaro - sett 2014 - Ippolito Nievo.jpg|thumb|225px|Bust of Ippolito Nievo in [[Portogruaro]]]]

==Life==
Nievo was born and raised in [[Padua]], during the time the [[Veneto]] region was ruled by the [[Austrian Empire]]. His father was a [[lawyer]]. Nievo studied law at the [[University of Padua]], but upon graduating, he refused to join his father's profession as it would imply submission to the Austrian government. He was politically inspired by [[Giuseppe Mazzini]]'s thought and wanted to join the struggle for the independence of Veneto and a [[Italian unification|united Italy]]. 

In 1860 he fought with [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]]'s [[Expedition of the Thousand]], who, after having defeated the [[House of Bourbon|Bourbon]] army in [[Sicily]] and Southern Italy, gave those regions to the King of [[Kingdom of Sardinia|Sardinia]] [[Victor Emmanuel II]]. On 18 February 1861, in fulfilment of Nievo's hopes, Italy was unified under the [[House of Savoy]]. Shortly afterwards, in March, Nievo died in a shipwreck in the [[Tyrrhenian Sea]].

Ippolito Nievo appears in the [[Umberto Eco]] novel ''[[The Prague Cemetery]]''. In this novel, Nievo's ship was secretly blown up by the fictional protagonist Simonini in order to destroy the financial documents.

An extensive archive of Nievo's correspondence has remained, such as 72 letters to the love of his early years Matilde Ferrari. In the last years of his life, Nievo was in love with Caterina Curti Melzi, a noble woman from an ancient Lombard family. Her relative [[Pier-Ambrogio Curti]] also was a close friend of Nievo.((sfn|Zangrandi|2016))((sfn|Mengaldo|2017))

==''Confessions of an Italian''==
Nievo is best known for his novel ''Confessions of an Italian'', an abridged English translation of which appeared under the title ''The Castle of Fratta'' in 1957, with a full translation by [[Frederika Randall]] including an introduction by Lucy Riall later published by Penguin in 2014. Written between December 1857 and August 1858, the work is in twenty-three chapters. Nievo died before it could receive its final editing. Nievo himself did not find a publisher, and it was only in 1867, six years after the writer's death, that the novel was published under the title ''Confessioni di un ottuagenario'' (''Confessions of an octogenarian''). The author's original title, by which the book is now generally known, was ''Le Confessioni d'un italiano'', but this seemed to be too "political" for the times.

The novel is both historical (its background is events in Italy in the last decades of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century) and psychological, being based upon the memories of "Carlo Altoviti", the main character and first-person narrator. It is widely considered the most important novel about the Italian [[Risorgimento]].

== Influences ==
There are similarities between [[William Makepeace Thackeray|W. M. Thackeray]]'s earlier novel ''[[The History of Henry Esmond]]'' and ''Confessions of an Italian'', both in the fundamental structure of the plot, in the psychological outlines of the main characters, in frequent episodes and in the use of metaphors.<ref>[http://leaslerca.retelinux.com/index_en.html University's final Thesis presented in Bocconi University of Milan by Lea Slerca  with prof. Claudio Gorlier as a supervisor, published in 1970 in "Studi e ricerche di letteratura inglese e americana" ed. Cisalpino]</ref>

==Other works==
Nievo wrote also poetry (''Versi'', 1854–55), short stories, mainly set in the countryside of [[Friuli]], the region where Nievo lived as a young boy, and novels (''Il conte pecoraio'', ''Angelo di bontà'', ''Il barone di Nicastro'', ''Il Varmo'').

His political engagement was reflected in two essays: ''Venezia e la libertà d'Italia'' (1860) and ''Frammento sulla rivoluzione nazionale'' (published 1929).
