Raffaello Giovagnoli (14 May 1838 in Roma - 15 July 1915 in Roma) was an Italian writer.

Giovagnoli was a participant in the Risorgimento and an associate of G. Garibaldi. His historical novels dealing with ancient Rome, including Plautilla (1878), Saturnino (1879), and Messalina (1885), convey a romantic enthusiasm for the struggle against tyranny and a sharp anticlericalism.

Quotes by Raffaello Giovagnoli (?)

“З того часу, як люди покинули ліси та почали жити разом, зникла свобода і виникло рабство, бо кожен закон, обмежуючи і звужуючи права одного на користь іншого, ти самим посягає на свободу окремої людини. Всюди і завжди найсильніший і найхитріший буде владарювати над натовпом, і завжди найдеться простий народ, готовий коритися. Навіть найкращі, розумніше всіх влаштовані республіки не можуть уникнути цього закону, джерело якого у самій природі людини...”
― Raffaello Giovagnoli, Spartacus
