Meaning of cosmopollino




furoya

cosmopollino
  17

I hoped that this query would be answered from Ecuador, because you will surely have more detail of its nineteenth-century history. "El Cosmopollino" is an ironic nickname given by Ecuadorian President Gabriel García Moreno to his political rival Juan María Montalvo Fiallos, in a dedication of his Bilingual Sonnet (in Spanish with some Italian, almost cocoliche). The taunt comes from the name of the magazine El Cosmopolita published by Montalvo, where he attacked García Moreno hard, as well as writing essays and bucolic stories such as the one who parodies the sonnet.
