biography

His family originally came from the Marche . After dropping out of his studies, he tried different professions.

In 1906 he began a career as a journalist in Rome. In 1919 he was one of the co-founders of the magazine and the literary circle La Ronda , where he attacked the emerging futurism like his editorial colleagues . Giacomo Leopardi was considered his role model . He received the Premio Bagutta in 1929 for “Il sole a picco” (The vertical sun).

Therefore, he represented a strict, formal classicism in his works , which with its clear sobriety appears almost unique in the Italian literary landscape. Because of his style, according to Burdett, lecturer for Italian studies at the University of Bristol , he allowed himself to be taken over by the Italian fascists . His anti-parliamentary attitude and the “call to order” had already been shaped before the First World War and although he was the overall social revolutionary changes in the ignored Italian fascism.

Interestingly, as early as the early 1930s, his style and that of Emilio Cecchi , Ardengo Soffici and Giuseppe Prezzolini had been attacked as self-referential and too formal ( contenutismo versus formalismo ) by the Italian literary neorealism of Carlo Bernari , Romano Bilenchi or Cesare Pavese within a literary controversy .

With the award of “Villa Tarantola” by the prestigious Premio Strega , his work was recognized by the cultural critics of the post-war period in 1948. He is considered one of the most important Italian poets of the 20th century. His most famous poems include "Alla terra" (homeland), "Passenger Notturno" (nocturnal journey) and "Nostalgia" (longing).
