| biography:
| Writer and journalist, born in San Luca, Calabria, S Italy. He fought in World War 1, an experience that permeates his collection of poems, Poesie grigioverdi (1917). His novels Gente d'Aspromonte (1930), L'uomo è forte (1938), and L'età breve (1946), and short stories L'amata alla finestra (1929), share the theme of love for his native land, and combine lyricism and social commitment. |
