Carlo Goldoni, Venetian playwright

Carlo Goldoni est né le 25 février 1707 à Venise. est un auteur dramatique italien, de langues italienne, vénitienne et française. Créateur de la comédie italienne moderne, il s’était exilé en France en 1762 à la suite de différends esthétiques avec ses confrères. Une plaque commémore son souvenir sur la façade de la maison de la rue Dussoubs où il est mort dans la pauvreté le 6 février 1793.

The playwright Carlo Goldoni, born 25 February 1707 in Venice,  moved to France in 1762 after 5 years of conflict with his compatriot and rival Gozzi. His works include some of Italy's most famous and best-loved plays, admired for their ingenious mix of wit and honesty, offering his contemporaries images of themselves, often dramatizing the lives, values, and conflicts of the emerging middle classes. Though he wrote in French and Italian, his plays make rich use of the Venetian language, regional vernacular, and colloquialisms. A plaque can be seen on the house where he died in poverty on 6 February 1793.

Ruben Dario, Nicaraguan poet

Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, né le 18 janvier 1867 à Metapa (aujourd'hui Ciudad Darío) et mort le 6 février 1916 à Léon, était un poète nicaraguayen. Il est à l'origine du mouvement moderniste en Amérique Latine (Azul, 1888 ; Chants de vie et d'espérance).
 
Dès 1893, il se rend à Paris, où il rencontre les poètes qu'il admire: Verlaine, Gourmont, Moréas. Le mouvement moderniste qu'il portera s'inspirera de trois mouvements européens : le romantisme, le symbolisme et le Parnasse.
 
Il vit dans la capitale française les premières années du siècle, et y publie Prosas profanas (1901) et Parisiana (1902).

Rubén Darío (born Félix Rubén García Sarmiento, 18 January 1867 – 6 February 1916) was a Nicaraguan poet who initiated the Spanish-American literary movement known as modernismo (modernism) that flourished at the end of the 19th century. Darío has had a great and lasting influence on 20th-century Spanish literature and journalism. He has been praised as the "Prince of Castilian Letters" and undisputed father of the modernismo literary movement.
 
During the first years of the 20th century, Darío lived in Paris, where in 1901 published the second edition of Prosas profanas.
In March 1903 he was appointed as consul by Nicaragua.
