Mauro Walter was a student of Giuseppe Ungaretti University of Rome, and friend. One reason valuable to learn more about the poet Ungaretti and man, as an individual but also as a cosmopolitan cultural character. Born in Alexandria, Ungaretti meets and attend the major characters of the early twentieth century Paris, with which binds fruitful friendship. His poetry blends his life restless, who always sees land temporarily to distant ports and other: Sao Paulo, where he teaches at the university, the trenches of the Carso during the First World War, where insecurity is the supreme law of life, so the feeling of time takes on shades that mark him forever.
Walter Mauro says it all, with captivating ability to dig in the period contemporary with the poet, reviving, with him, his teachers and colleagues in Paris that varied, unique, of Picasso and Apollinaire, blending so admirably the work man. It will be hard to read pages deep, attentive, charming Ungaretti up after this particular biography that leads the reader into the secrets not only to the interpretation of Ungaretti, but of its being in the same creative moment.
