![Portrait of Filippo Chiappini, Trilussa's mentor, who insisted that Trilussa continue his studies. In a letter to his mother Carlotta he wrote: "Send him to take this exam in Rieti, Terni or some other town where he will not have to suffer a humiliation that would be painful for him, and when he comes back here with his licence have him enrol in the Institute and let him study accountancy. With three years at the Institute, he can get his technical license and can get a government job [...] Don't tell me it's late, because it's not true."[5]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/Filippo_Chiappini.jpg/1280px-Filippo_Chiappini.jpg)
