Master’s lesson dedicated to Giorgio Caproni
Born in Livorno in 1912 and moved first to Genoa and then to Rome, Giorgio Caproni he was a partisan, a primary school teacher, a translator from French and, in common with Magrelli and Corbi, a poet.
In the reading proposal dedicated to him, the desire to transmit contemporary poetry becomes the pretext to provide a clear analysis of what one of his first critics, Carlo Bo, defined as “the poet of the sun, of the light and of the sea”.
