Also known as Gaius Valerius Catullus, Caius Valerius Catullus

poeta lirico latino della Repubblica romana

AI overview

Catullus was a Roman poet from the late Republic whose surviving poems are still widely read today, partly because they're used in schools and partly because they deal with personal and sexual subjects. His work is considered important enough that readers continue to study and enjoy his poems more than two thousand years after he wrote them.

Gaio Valerio Catullo (in latino: Gaius Valerius Catullus, pronuncia classica o restituta: [ˈɡaːɪʊs waˈlɛrɪʊs kaˈtʊllʊs]; Verona, 84 a.C. – Roma, 54 a.C.) è stato un poeta romano.Il poeta è noto per l'intensità delle passioni amorose espresse, per la prima volta nella letteratura latina, nel suo Catulli Veronensis Liber, in cui l'amore ha una parte preponderante, sia nei componimenti più leggeri che negli epilli ispirati alla poesia di Callimaco e degli Alessandrini in generale.
