Biagio Marin (Italian: [ˈbjaːdʒo maˈrin]; Venetian: Biaxio Marin [ˈbjazjo maˈɾiŋ]; 29 June 1891 – 24 December 1985) was a Venetian and Italian poet, best known for his poems in the Venetian language.[1][2] In his writings he never obeyed rhetoric or poetics.[3] He only employed a few hundred words for his poems.[4]
Early life
Biagio Marin was born on 29 June 1891 in the coastal town of
World War One
In 1914 he was sent to Maribor as a soldier for the 47th Infantry Regiment. He deserted to Italy and was already infected with tuberculosis, but still, he fought as a soldier in the Italian army against the Austrian troops. He graduated in philosophy under Bernardino Varisco, the fascistic philosopher Giovanni Gentile whose idealistic doctrine had already exerted a profound influence on him, and was the chairman of the committee.[12][13] Varisco offered his pupil a place at the University. But Marin was eager to run to the front. Arriving in Stra nel Veneto he suffered from a relapse. When an Italian captain treated him boorishly, he protested with the words "Wir Österreicher sind an einen anderen Stil gewöhnt" "Captain, you are a villain; we Austrians are accustomed to different manners"[14]
World War Two
In the 1940s he wrote in his diaries that he believed that only the Nazis could bring order to Europe.
Career
Marin landed a position as Professor at the Scuola Magistrale in
Late life
In 1968 he moved back to Grado, where he resided in a house at the beach. His eyesight deteriorated, and for the rest of his life he was nearly blind and deaf [18][19] After his death his private library was moved to the Biblioteca Civica in Grado.[20]
Private life
In 1914 he married Pina Marini with whom he had four children, including Gioiella and Falco. He knew the family of Art-deco artist and designer
The writer Claudio Magris considered himself to have been one of Biagio Marin's best friends.[24] He also said that Marin was both brother and father to him.[25] Immediately after the death of his friend, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Marin composed a Cycle of poems called "El critoleo del corpo fracasao" about him.[26]
Work
Marin's poems, written in the Venetian language, are about the daily life and simple landscapes of his native land. He used the "lingua franca" that the merchants of the city used for his writings.[27] He was influenced by Friedrich Hölderlin and Heinrich Heine. Religious thematics sometimes occur in his work. Andrea Zanzotto and Pier Paolo Pasolini had some difficulties with the existence of religious thematics in Marin's work.[28] In 1970, the poet decided to publish all the poems written at that time in one volume, which, apropos to his sentimental attachment to his land, was titled "Songs from the Island." His output in the 1970s gained him the attention of Italian audiences.[29] He was now obligated to write in Italian so that everybody in Italian could understand him. Despite this, he only wrote one book in Italian called "Acquamarina" in 1973. In 1985 he said that publishers were reluctant to publish even a selection of his poetry.[30]
