0070-10-15 — 0019-09-21 · Borgo Virgilio

Publius Vergilius Maro, known in Portuguese as Virgil, was a poet of Ancient Rome, celebrated for his epic work "The Aeneid". Considered one of the greatest poets of Latin literature, his works had a profound and lasting influence on Western literature. Besides "The Aeneid", he wrote the "Bucolics" and the "Georgics", which explore pastoral and agricultural themes, respectively. His poetry is marked by technical mastery, lyrical beauty, and thematic depth, addressing themes such as destiny, homeland, love, and man's relationship with nature.
