Byron become famous in London not only for his works but also for his personality. He was eccentric surrounded by a lot of women and had strange habits. For these reasons there were a lot of scandals that forced him to go away from London. He chose Venice as his new place because, as he wrote in a letter to Thomas Moore, he sees this city, like the most green island of his imagination. In fact the decadence of the city for the Austrian supremacy helped him to develop his poetry characterized by melancholy and gaiety as he wrote “The gloomy gaiety of gondolas”. He was happy to stay there because he could continue his social life without problems, in fact he lived in a private home, had his own gondola, learned to talk Italian language and also fall in love with a lot of women. He wrote in the letter for his editor Murrey that Venice was one of places that he wrote in the letter for his editor Murray that Venice was one of  the places that he knew before seeing it and this city shocked him like the places of the Orient did.

However, at the beginning of his travel he wasn’t ready for a radical change. Before leaving England he knew that in order to keep his English public it was necessary to continue producing what he had already show to be appreciated. He published the third canto of the Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage in 1816, before his arrival in Venice.

After his journey to Rome he started writing his fourth canto for his successfull poem Childe Harold. This is also the period of the constrution of his La Mira's residence. His fourth canto started to talk about the magnificences of Venice and its beauty like Ponte dei Sospiri.

It is clear that for this view he would stay on ponte della Paglia; but to emphasize this immagine was better stay on ponte dei Sospiri. He pay more attention to the end of city's glory: he was interested to the past and the literary links more than present.

At the end of carnival he espressed his fatigue in a poetry sent to Thomas Moore in which he said that l ike the sworth consumes sleath so love consumes heart.

After he went to Rome to his friend Hobhouse. In this period he kept information for the fourth Canto of Horold's Piligrimage, set in Italy. Child Horold was, his most successful poem; the first two cantos describe Harold's journeys a character who , even if young, was tired of life. It is the figure of the romantic byronic hero. Thanks to his love he married Lady Byron.

The byronic hero derives from  Satana of Milton's Paradise Lost. Many authors of English literature have been inspired by that character, such as Heathcliff, Hemingway and Eminem, too. Byron's hero is also inspired by the poet own life, in particular the fact that at the age of ten he gained his title of nobility  and was catapulted among the Harrow gentry.

Paradoxally Byron wasn't byronic, the byronism was only a little aspect of his behavior, but it was very important because it made him famous. Even in music a lots of composers like the Italian Verdi were inspired by the "the byronism". But in his works, like Childe Harold ,Byron didn't express all himself.Exactly in Venice he found the perfect way to express himself, in fact he was considered an authentic Venetian.

Byron enjoyed the differences between Venice and the “Little Island”, as he named Britain. He married Annabella Milbanke, a  highly educated and strictly religious woman. But the “Princess of parallelograms”, as he called his wife, wanted to change him and this is the reason why the marriage was a failure.

However what hurt Annabella Milbanke most, was Byron’s bad behaviour after the divorce. One of the biggest talent of Byron was the capacity to create contrasts as many letters testify. In Venice he chose passionate women (Arpalice Tarruscelli , Da Mosti,Spineda, la Lotti, la Rizzato, l’Eleonora, la Carlotta, la Giulietta, l’Alvisi, la Zambieri, Eleonora da Bezzi , Marina Querini Benzòn,Margherita Cogni, Marietta, and he wrote “I can tolerate everything except an animal from the cold-blooded as Miss Milbanke".

Not only he liked a lot the contrast versus his wife in England, but he also was attracted a lot by Italy because it was a Catholic country. He also was affascinated by the way in which rities apparently Pagan, were still characterized by the religious meanings, without the hypocrisy that was typical in England.

Byron lived in a particular way in Venice: in fact, he partecipated joyfully to the Carnival's celebrations but, at the same time, he spent a lot of his time in San Lazzaro island to study the Armenian language with monks. Monks, in particular, respected him for his incredible culture even if he was a fascinating  male devoted to life's pleasure. He studied Armenian also because he was attracted by Oriental world.

He, in fact,focused his attention on contemporany facts as a gossip told by a local citizien.This event gave him the chance to experience a new poetical form,the Italian one, the ottava rima.
In some verses he describes the landscape of the magical city, in particular a ‘’built lightly but compactly’’ gondola that ‘’contains a deal of fun’’and can be ‘’swift or slow’’.In this way, he could finally express his variety of forms and contents,creating a poem about society,relationships and different behaviours,despite of the difficulties of adatting the Italian metro in english language.

‘’A palace and a prison on each hand’’,this is Byron’s imaginary vision of Venice, a city that lives through death,enchantement,intrigue,charm,showing a new face of the place,which is totally different from the reality.This aspect emerges from his works,in particular in Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage, source of inspiration for the next visitors and writers as Dickens and Ruskin.

However Byron himself was influenced by the detailed description of the dematerialized and uninhabited city of Anne Radcliffe’s The Mysteries of Udolpho, but it’s not enough…

“Sublime is the scripture in this life. Isn’t this what really matters?”On his return to Venice, Byron moved to Mocenigo palace on Grand Canal with a lover he had met in Mira, Margarita Cogni, wife of a baker, also known as “La Fornarina”. Actually, Allegra, Byron’s illegitimate daughter, was the only one who really loved her since she was “as wild as a witch and as furious as a demon”. At a certain point Byron kicked her out of the house and she went away but the day after she came back threatening him with a knife. After that event Lord Byron more often bought sex in Venice until when he fall in love with Teresa Guiccioli, “his last love”.Consequently, he took on writing ‘the only longest poem which never bores’: Don Juan. Unlike what people could expect from Byron’s lifestyle, Don Juan is not a demon lover, rather an innocent youth who is seduced more than seduce. Whilst, Byron is the narrator and he proves to be brave enough at his use of English language as well as creating rhymes.

Furthermore, his work is home to a wide range of various genres: he can easily move from tragedy to comedy, from satire to tale. What is more, he attaches an uttermost importance to the highlighting of details and for instance, just to mention a few, in Canto II he bothers to outline and describe the maid in the background, while dealing with a love scene. His purpose, though, is neither to astray the reader nor to set apart reality and love. It rather goes without saying that he chiefly aims at explaining how life is made up of both strong and heart-felt emotions and coffee. Last but not least, he acknowledges and admits this work is endowed with a deep and profound morale and therefore whether people couldn’t make and figure it out he would thus consider it as his own fault. However, Don Juan is a work which praises and extols honesty as well as tolerance and Byron mainly cares about comprehending human behaviour. To sum up, on the whole, it has been Venice that, even though paradoxically, alongside with its ‘melancholy gayness’, ‘funerals’, has deeply moved him imaginatively.
