Carlo Pepoli as a young man
Count Carlo Pepoli (22 July 1796 – 7 December 1881) was an Italian politician, journalist, and poet. As a politician, he served as the Mayor of Bologna from 1862 to 1866, and as a Senator of the Kingdom of Italy. As a poet, he is best known for writing the libretto for Vincenzo Bellini's opera, I puritani. Born in Bologna to the aristocratic Pepoli family, he was active in the movement opposing the Austrian rule of Italy and spent a large portion of his adult life as an exile in France and England. He died in his native city at the age of 85.
