Editing Giosuè Carducci (section)

=== Later life and international success ===
The last two decades of Carducci's life were filled with misery. In 1885, he became ill. Five years later he was made a [[Senate of the Kingdom of Italy|senator]] by the King of Italy,<ref>{{cite book |last=Scalia |first=Samuel Eugene |title=Carducci |publisher=S.F. Vanni |year=1937 |location=New York}}</ref> but in 1899, a stroke paralyzed his hand and nearly deprived him of speech. He continued working, despite the setbacks, publishing his last volume of poetry, ''Rime e ritmi'' (Rhymes and Rhythms), in 1899 and collecting his works from 1850 to 1900. In 1904, he resigned from teaching. His disciple [[Giovanni Pascoli]] replaced him as professor of [[Italian literature]] at the University of Bologna.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giovanni-Pascoli|title=Giovanni Pascoli {{!}} Italian poet|work=Encyclopedia Britannica|access-date=2017-08-23|language=en}}</ref> 

In 1906, Carducci became the first Italian to receive the [[Nobel Prize in Literature]]. He died the following year in Bologna, at the age of 71. His funeral, celebrated in [[San Petronio, Bologna|San Petronio]], was followed by a procession through the streets of the city attended by a large crowd. He is buried in the [[Certosa di Bologna]]. A monument in his honor was erected in Bologna between 1908 and 1926 to a design by [[Leonardo Bistolfi]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |title=Bistolfi, Leonardo |encyclopedia=[[Grove Art Online]] |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |last=Terraroli |first=Valerio |date=2003 |doi=10.1093/gao/9781884446054.article.T009056}}</ref>
