  • POEMS WRITTEN FOR, TO, OR CONCERNING TERESA GUICCIOLI Edited by Peter Cochran
    1 POEMS WRITTEN FOR, TO, OR CONCERNING TERESA GUICCIOLI edited by Peter Cochran [The poems here complement those in Poems about Italy .] Stanzas to the Po Stornelli To Teresa Guiccioli Francesca of Rimini “Could love for ever …” The Prophecy of Dante The date of birth of Teresa Gamba Ghiselli was unknown until quite recently: she was born in 1798. 1 Educated at Santa Chiara, a school run on principles advanced for the time, she was married to Alessandro Guiccioli – thirty-seven years her senior – on March 7th 1818. She had her first affair, with Cristoforo Ferri, in mid-1818, having met Byron briefly on March 10th of that year, at a Venetian conversazione held by the Countess Albrizzi. They met properly on the night of April 2nd / 3rd 1819 at the Countess Benzoni’s (just after Byron had dispatched Don Juan II to England), and fell in love. It was the last of Byron’s affairs, and lasted in theory until his death in 1824. It was a complete infatuation on both their parts – on being told in 1819 that Teresa was near to death, Byron contemplated suicide. Alessandro Guiccioli – with whom Byron shared an interest in the theatre – tolerated their liaison, and Byron even lived in his palazzo at Ravenna. Byron was friends with Teresa’s father, Ruggiero Gamba, and her brother Pietro, both of whom shared his liberal politics, dangerous in an Italy run by Rome and by the Austrians and Bourbons. The governments persecuted him by forcing the Gambas to move from state to state. I am grateful to Michael Fincham and Valeria Vallucci for their help in making these editions.
