Comment

Alessandro Manzoni (7 March 1785 – 22 May 1873) was an Italian poet and novelist. He is famous for the novel The Betrothed (1827), generally ranked among the masterpieces of world literature. The novel is also a symbol of the Italian Risorgimento, both for its patriotic message and because it was a fundamental milestone in the development of the modern, unified Italian language. Manzoni also sat the basis for the modern Italian language and helped creating linguistic unity throughout Italy. He was an influential proponent of Liberal Catholicism in Italy.

Interesting fact

The 3000 Guaraníes (Alessandro Manzoni) coin from Paraguay is a non-circulating coin made of gold (.900) and weighs 21.30 grams. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1973-1974, but it was not released into circulation until 1977, due to a delay in the approval of the coin's design by the Paraguayan government. This delay led to a limited mintage of only 5,000 coins, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
