Giuseppe Ungaretti

Dear visitor, I was soldier and poet in the First World War. I am considered a great poet; in my verses I was able to evoke the essence of the human being overwhelmed but not bent by the war, and my relationship with Gorizia and the Carso, one of the places where I fought and that inspired my first collection of poems, "The Buried Port”. "The name of Gorizia was not the name of a victory, but the name of a common suffering" I observed in 1966 when, quite old, I returned to Gorizia and the territories where I had fought.
