"Narrasi about it a very interesting anecdote. The legislative council of the Cisalpine, which Parini was a member, held its meeting at the same place where he sits the old bedroom and a large crucifix, that one day some of those exalted Republicans did raise on. Parini coupling and no longer saw the crucifix proudly asked his colleagues: Where is the Christian citizen? To which they, laughing and joking, said I did not put anywhere else because he had nothing to do with the new republic. But the austere poet said, well, nothing to do when most citizens had nothing to do more nemmen'io Christ. And he immediately resigned from his office. "
