Guido Mazzoni (poet)

Guido Mazzoni (poet)

Guido Mazzoni (1859-1943) was an Italian poet.

He was born at Florence, and educated at Pisa and Bologna. In 1887 he became professor of Italian at Padua, and in 1894 at Florence, where he remained until retirement in 1934. He was much influenced by Carducci, and became prominent both as prolific and well-read critic and as a poet of individual distinction.

In 1910 he was elected a senator. In 1915 his son Carlo was taken prisoner by Austrian forces; the father volunteered for combat duty in exchange, and participated in combat along the Isonzo River.

His chief volumes of verse are "Versi" (1880), "Nuove poesie" (1886), "Poesie" (1891), "Voci della vita" (1893).
