Batyushkov was brought up in the house of his uncle Mikhail Muravyov, who was reputed for his light and humorous poetry. At an early age he became fascinated with the Italian language and set out to Italianize Russian poetry.

Such pieces fascinated the 20th-century poet Osip Mandelshtam, who repeatedly addressed Batyushkov's life and poetry in his essays and verse. 1823 was a common year starting on Wednesday (see link for calendar). ... 1853 was a common year starting on Saturday (see link for calendar). ...
