His "unstable sentimental life" (according to Wikipedia) included fathering three children by a girl called Ana, whom he never got round to marrying; living "in confrontation with both the civil and religious establishment, as well as with the provincial bourgeoisie"; and falling victim to "severe drinking problems", dying at a relatively young age.
His statue adorns the main square in Ljubljana and is a gathering point for the local youth (unlike Burns's cottage in Alloway).
