In the spring of 1807, a fierce controversy broke out between the two sides of the Alps after a literary journal in Paris published, under the pseudonym Filebo, a harsh attack on Vincenzo Monti, who was living in Milan at the time. Monti was then con- sidered the most prestigious living poet in his homeland, but he was not yet widely known or appreciated in France. He decided, however, to respond with a pamphlet in which he criticised in equally heated tones those who, in his opinion, were the authors of the attack, namely some Italian exiles who had been working in the French capital for several years. This article analyses the literary features of the polemic, placing it in its context and reconstructing the conflicting relationships between its protagonists. In this way, the origins of the dispute are traced back to in the revolutionary season and its development is attributed to deeper political connotations linked to different ways of conceiving cultural engagement in Napoleonic institutions.
Keywords: Napoleonic Age, literary disputes, Italian patriotism, Vincenzo Monti, Ugo Foscolo, Revue philosophique.
