User talk:Attilios/Carlo Zamolli

Carlo Zamolli (1898 - December 1972) was an Italian poet, born in Turin.

He worked in strict collaboration with Mario Luzi and in strong opposition to the Gruppo 63. His most famous work, "Mai più con Paola e Ilaria" (published by Mondadori in 1939) expresses in endecasillabi the anxiety of a man who had fallen in love with two lesbian sisters. The debate which the work spurred involved Alberto Moravia (who wrote an article entitled "Contro Zamolli" on the Corriere della Sera, February 18 1967), to which Zamolli himself replied with emphasis (Settimana Incom, 38, 1967).

He won several awards, included the Gorgona d'Oro in 1971. He died at Gressonney in December 1972.
