Vittorio Alfieri (1749–1803) was an Italian dramatist, poet, and essayist, often regarded as the founder of modern Italian tragedy. A passionate advocate of liberty and opponent of tyranny, his plays—such as Saul, Mirra, and Antigone—emphasized strong emotions, moral conflict, and political themes that resonated with Enlightenment ideals. Alfieri’s austere style and focus on freedom influenced Italian literature and the later Risorgimento movement for national unification. Restless and fiercely independent, he spent much of his life traveling across Europe, but his literary legacy firmly established him as one of Italy’s greatest 18th-century writers. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObverse: Portrait of Vittorio Alfieri facing 3\/4 to the right, with the name of the engraver above the left shoulder, and the country name around. \u003cbr\u003eReverse: Alfieri's most famous quote, with three capital \"V\"s tied together with a rope above an open book, with the anniversary dates on either side of the book, and the denomination below. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications: \u003cbr\u003eEngraver: Maurizio Soccorsi \u003cbr\u003eComposition: 0.835 Silver \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 14.60 g \u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 31.40 mm \u003cbr\u003eEdge: Inscriped \u003cbr\u003eDie Axis: ↑↓ \u003cbr\u003eMint: Rome, Italy \u003cbr\u003eMintage: 51,800","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51955762528545,"sku":"WC-6105","price":65.45,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/WC-6105.jpg?v=1761748773","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/wc-6105-italy-1999r-1000-lire-ms64","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
