This collection of poetry, Ozii Camerti, was written by Guido
Mazzoni around 1887, during his most creative and prolific period. The
poems are in ballad form, and are lyrical reflections on human existence
and its place in the universe. The pages shown above are enhanced by the
corrections in Mazzoni's hand. The clipping appearing here was found in
the Mazzoni Pamphlet Collection; it is a translation of one of these
ballads, "Well I know the stars..." A note on the clipping gives the date
as 1929. Ozii Camerti can be translated roughly as "Indolent
moments from Camerino," the town where Mazzoni was staying when he
composed these poems.
