Franco Loi (21 January 1930 – 4 January 2021) was an Italian poet, writer, and essayist.[1][2][3] He was born in Genoa, and died in Milan, aged 90. He made his debut in 1973 as a poet using dialect and had a good success with the work I cart, and the following year, 1974, with Poems of love. In 1975 the poet proves to have reached complete maturity of expression with the poem Stròlegh, published by Einaudi with a preface by Franco Fortini. In 1978 Einaudi published the collection Teater and in 1981 the work L'Angel followed by Edizioni San Marco dei Giustiniani. Also in 1981, thanks to the collection L'aria, he won the "Lanciano" national prize for dialectal poetry. In 2005 he published L'aria de la memoria for Einaudi, in which he collected all the poems written between 1973 and 2002. He has been Honorary President of the Contemporary Arts Centre of Cilento and Milan[4] founded in 2019 by Menotti Lerro, and, starting from 2020, member of the Empathic School Movement / Empathism.[5] In 2019 he won the Cilento Poetry Prize conferred to him at Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera.[6]
