Eugenio Montale (1896-1981) was an Italian writer, editor, and
translator. Born in Genoa, Montale trained to be an opera singer in
his youth, but following his service in World War I and the death
of his voice teacher, he turned his focus to poetry. Upon
publishing his first book, Cuttlefish Bones, in 1925, he was
received by critics as an original and experimental poet during a
time of upheaval in the Italian lyric tradition. He later became
the chief literary critic for the Italian newspaper Corriere della
Sera and published a range of poetry and prose works, among them
The Occasions and The Storm and Other Things. He received the Nobel
Prize in Literature in 1975.
