Giuseppe Tontodonati (February 2, 1917—January 6, 1989) was an Italian poet. ==Life== Giuseppe Tontodonati was born in Abruzzo a region in central Italy in the small town of Scafa (Pescara province) in 1917. When he was a child he moved with his family to Pescara. In this large city he started to feel the influence of the arts and poetry. From 1940 he was a soldier in Greece during World War II. On September 8, 1943, Italy signed the armistice and Tontodonati, like many other Italian soldiers was deported into the German Lager of Turgau and then Pieteritz until mid-1945. He returned, looking like a skeleton, to Pescara at the end of 1945. On the 1959 he and his family moved to Bologna where he lived until his death on January 6, 1989. In Bologna he started to write poems using mainly Abruzzo Dialect (see his first work, "Storie Paesane" written in 1958 with an introduction by the poet Antonio Rinaldi). Giuseppe Tontodonati, who wrote also texts for several folk songs all with the music of M° Giuseppe di Pasquale, is considered one of the most important dialect poet of the 20th century mainly for Abruzzo region but not only. For two times (1993 and 2011 after his death, Abruzzo Region Cultural Dept. published books about Tontodonati poems to reminde his activity. The last one - Da Lu Piccule Resurgemende a Porta Pije - L'Abruzzo dai moti carbonari all'Unità d'Italia fino a brigantaggio post-unitario - (2011) has been included from Abruzzo Region, into the official activity of the 150° year of Italian Nation celebration. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giuseppe Tontodonati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
