__NOTOC__ Victor di Suvero is an American poet, investment manager and entrepreneur. Born in 1927 in Turin, Italy he grew up in China where his father had been stationed in the Italian Diplomatic Service. He came to San Francisco early in 1941 with his family as anti-fascist political refugees. He attended the University of Santa Clara and then, wanting to do something to help in the war effort and being too young for the armed forces, he shipped out as a Merchant Seaman at the age of 16 sailing as an able-bodied seaman in the Pacific. He saw service from Guadalcanal to New Guinea and from Bia to Leyte. At the end of the War he returned to California and attended the University of California, Berkeley where he received his BA in Political Science in 1949. At Berkeley he had been the editor of the ''Occident'', the literary magazine of the University and won the ''Ina Coolbrith Prize for Poetry'' in that year. While at the University of California in Berkeley, di Suvero developed a catering service to support himself which later evolved into a series of restaurants which he sold before moving to Sausalito, California where he bought and ran the ''Contemporary Gallery'' giving shows to artists such as Wayne Thiebaud and Jean Varda. The development of the gallery led to his establishment of ''Design and Color Service'' in 1951 providing art and design advisory services to architects and real estate developers such as Eichler homes, The Draper Companies, and Conway and Culligan in the Bay Area. This exposure soon led him to obtain his own Real Estate License and he then established ''di Suvero & Company'', a Real Estate and Mortgage brokerage firm which he managed developing projects in Hawaii and Arizona as well as in California. The various financing contacts di Suvero had developed for his real estate business gave him the opportunity to extend his management and funding practice into a succession of mining ventures. He became a principal in Standard Coal Co., developing mines in Tennessee and West Virginia. Subsequently he established ''Sapphire Trading Company'' which reopened the Yogo Sapphire Mine in Montana and the Noble Metals Mine Operation in Southern California and Nevada. In 1999 he established Liberty Resources, LLC which currently controls two mining operations in Nevada and one in California. During this entire period di Suvero continued with his writings. His publications include: == Bibliography == * ''Salt and the Heart’s Horizons'' Greenwood Press (1951) * ''Sight Poems'', Stolen Paper Editions (1962) * ''San Francisco Poems'' (1987)/''The Net'' (1987) * ''Tesuque Poems'' 1993) * ''Naked Heart'' (1997) * ''Harvest Time'' (2001) * ''Moving On'' (2007) * ''Spring Again'' (2005) 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「Victor di Suvero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
