Corrado Alvaro
Corrado Alvaro was born in San Luca (Reggio Calabria)
in 1895 and he died in Rome in 1956. He fought in the first world war
and his first work Poesie grigioverdi was deeply influenced by this
experience(1917). He contributed to the “Mondo” of G. Amendola, and in
1930-1935 he travelled abroad like special correspondent from famous
newspapers. In 1946-47 he managed the “Risorgimento” newspaper.
He made his first narrative experiences with the stories of L’amata alla
finestra (1929) inspired to his land of origin and to his ancient myths.
We find an originality of themes and language in Gente di Aspromonte
(1930) in which the realistic representation of Calabria’s life is mixed
with the sentimental recalling of a popular archaic and magic world. The
technique of narration, which can unite chorality and cavil of analysis,
shows to have the most advanced experiences of European culture. During
the last years of his life he wrote L’uomo è forte, romance about
collective anguish written with allegorical-political tones. Followed
the stories of Incontri d’amore.
