Carlo Borghi studied at the Parini high school and graduated in Law in Pavia in 1871. By that time he already wrote for "La Palestra letteraria". In 1876 he founded "Vita Nuova" with a group of friends and in this magazine he published most of his poems until publication ceased in 1878. He started travelling and in 1878 he visited the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Paris. He used his travel experiences for "In cammino". In "La prima vittoria: ricordi dell'Esposizione di Torino" (1881) he looked critically upon new developments in painting and sculpture. With Giovanni Pozza he founded the satirical magazine "Il Guerin Meschino" that existed until 1921. In 1883 he became the ecretary of the Committee for the Universal Exhibition of Fine Arts in Rome, but he died in that same year in Milan, aged 31. |
