Publisher's Synopsis
"This volume contains a generous selection from thirteen collections of his poetry, including Gesta Romanorum (1952-1954), Ogni Terzo Pensiero / Every Third Thought (1989 -1993) and Barlumi di Storia / Glimmers of History (2002) , and thus presents his accomplishment in all its scope and depth. Here are developed his major themes: love and loss; the rewards and responsibilities of being a son, a husband, a father and a lover; and the sweep of Italian history from Mussolini to. Berlusconi."--Provided by publisher.
