A restless
character, his unorthodox life tormented by the irrepressible urge
of a poetic quest; considered one of the most representative poets
of this century, Dino Campana composed lyrics brimming with sounds
and colours. His visionary
prose, collected in his major work “I Canti Orfici” which
emphasise the deep bond the poet had with his birth place. The Marradese locations
and routes from which Dino Campano took inspiration (the bridge on the Lamone,
the Colombaia, the Vigoli and Campigno houses etc) are today signed with plaques
which tell of the relative steps in the works of the poet and photographs of
the time. From the second half of the 1980s a literary prize was established
among the Campaniane cities dedicated to Dino Campana. The Dino Campana cultural
park is being established and the important and well documented Dino Campana
study centre at Marradi is a point of reference for the enthusiast, scholar and
student who study, work and dream over the works and
life of Dino Campana.
