Edoardo Sanguineti

In 1956, Sanguineti published his first poetry collection, Laborintus. The author adopted a “labyrinthine” structure in these poems, preceding the poetic sperimentalism that characterized the 1960s. During the 1960s, he was a leader of the neo-avant-garde Gruppo 63 movement, founded in 1963 at Solunto. His work was published in the first issue of 0 to 9 magazine in 1967. He was also an active translator of Joyce, Molière, Shakespeare, Bertolt Brecht, and select Greek and Latin authors. From 1979 until 1983, Sanguineti was a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Italian Parliament. He was elected as an independent on the list of the Italian Communist Party. He was an atheist. ==Death==
