He was educated at the Collegio di San Carlo in Modena, but otherwise spent most of his life in Verona.
He was born into an aristocratic family, and travelled a great deal in his youth. He was a close friend of the mathematician and translator Giuseppe Torelli (1721–1781) and the scholar Girolamo Pompei.[1] His brother Giovanni Pindemonte was a prominent dramatist.[2]
Pindemonte witnessed and was deeply affected by the French Revolution, residing in Paris for ten months during 1789, then rejecting the results of the reign of Terror and fleeing to Italy.[3] He later spent time in England and Austria.
A Romantic poet, he was principally influenced by his friend Ugo Foscolo and Thomas Gray, and was associated with the Della Cruscans. He devoted much of his life to a translation of the Odyssey, which was published in 1822.[4]
