Cesare Angelini (August 2, 1886 – September 27, 1976) was an Italian presbyter, writer and literary critic. Angelini was born in Albuzzano. He was the sixth son of Giovanni Battista and Maria Maddalena Bozzini (or Bosini), peasants. In the late nineteenth-century village, still dominated by a strong old-fashioned agricultural tradition, he spent his childhood learning life from agricultural works, from the intimate and close dialogue with nature, which he will maintain assiduously until the end. Under the care of the archpriest of Albuzzano, Cesare Prelini (1843-1915), he was initiated into the priesthood and prepared for his high school studies which he carried out at the Episcopal Seminary of Pavia. He was ordained a priest on 24 June 1910. From 1910 to 1915, he was called to teach literature at the Seminary of Cesena by the local bishop, Monsignor Giovanni Cazzani from Pavia. In the Romagna town he met and met almost daily the literary critic Renato Serra librarian of the Malatestiana Library who brought Angelini closer and closer to literature, introduced him to the cultural environment of the Voce and marks his itinerary on the path of fragmentism intrinsic to the Florentine magazine. Angelini's debut in a literary sheet took place in Romagna, year X, 1913, no. 1, January 15, p. 4-20, with the essay Un poeta della critica dedicated to Serra. Other interventions from that period (critical essays, lyric prose and poems) appeared in magazines at the limit of local circulation such as La Romagna, Il Corriere Cesena, Il Cittadino. Serra died on 20 July 1915, at the age of thirty, in the First World War on Podgora. Angelini will keep his memory throughout his existence, publishing numerous essays dedicated to him in magazines, in commemorative editions. In 1915 Angelini was in Pavia and wrote the first two essays for the white Voce of De Robertis on Pascoli, Pascoli moderno (no. 9, April) and Pascoli e Croce (no. 13, July). Also in the Florentine magazine, in the commemorative number dedicated to Renato Serra (no.
