Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes from "Giusti" by Paolo de' Giovanni (Garzanti, 1947), p. 1: "Giuseppe Giusti nacque a Monsummano, in Val di Nievole, il 12 maggio 1809: non il 13, com'egli stesso credeva e molti credono ancora;, non il 9 com'è inciso sulla tomba in San Miniato al Monte. L'atto di nascita, ìuale appare nei Registri battesimali della Propositura di Monsummano, dice infatti: «Addì 13 maggio 1809. Giuseppe, Celestino, Alessandro, Luigi del Nobil Uomo l'illust. Sign. Domenico del fu Sign. Giuseppe Giusti e della-illustr. Signora Ester del Sig. Celestino Chiti coniugi di questa Cura, nato il dì antecedente, circa le ore 11 1/2 antimeridiane."
Abridged translation: Giuseppe Giusti was born in Monsummano in the Valdinievole on 12 May 1809, not on the 13th as he himself believed and many still believe, and not on the 9th as is engraved on the tomb in San Miniato al Monte. The birth certificate in the registers of Propositura Monsummano states: "13 May 1809: Giuseppe, Celestino, Alessandro, Luigi was born yesterday about 11 1/2 hours A.M."
