Biography
Andrea Zanzotto (10 October 1921 – 18 October 2011) was an Italian poet. Andrea Zanzotto was born in Pieve di Soligo (province of Treviso, Veneto), Italy to Giovanni and Carmela Bernardi.
His father, Giovanni (born 18 November 1888), had received degrees from the École supérieure de peinture at Brussels (1911, specializing in trompe-l'œil in wood and marble) and the Academy of Fine Arts at Bologna (1913, diploma di professore di disegno). Having been hired by a large painting business in Trieste, he was inducted into the army in 1915 and took part in combat on the Piave River. Giovanni had been involved with Carmela for some time, but postponed marriage until his work abroad (Trieste at that time belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire) earned him enough to support a family.
