Edoardo Sanguineti (9 December 1930 – 18 May 2010) was a Genoese poet, writer and academic, universally considered one of the major Italian authors of the second half of the twentieth century.
Biography
In 1956, Sanguineti published his first poetry collection, Laborintus. The author adopted a “labyrinthine” structure in these poems, preceding the poetic sperimentalism that characterized the 60s.
During the 1960s he was a leader of the neo-avant-garde Gruppo 63 movement, founded in 1963 at Solunto. His work was published in the first issue of 0 to 9 magazine in 1967.
He was also an active translator of Joyce, Molière, Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, and select Greek and Latin authors.
From 1979 until 1983, Sanguineti was a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament. He was elected as an independent on the list of the PCI.
He was an atheist.[2]
Death
Sanguineti died on 18 May 2010 at Villa Scassi Hospital in Genoa following emergency surgery for an abdominal aneurysm. He was 79.[3]
