Eugenio Montale (1896–1981) was an Italian poet, author of Ossi di seppia (1925) and recipient of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975.

Born in Genoa (12 October 1896), died in Milan (12 September 1981). Nobel Prize in Literature (1975). Ossi di seppia published 1925.

Two DeBaser reviews examine Montale's Ossi di seppia, emphasizing themes of "divine indifference", nature, and the objective correlative. One review (5/5) offers cinematic analogies and close readings; the other (3/5) analyzes form and philosophical stance. Together they present Montale as a central 20th-century Italian poet whose 1925 collection remains influential.

 The fluttering feather in "ForrestGump" or the plastic bag at the mercy of the currents in "AmericanBeauty" may be clichéd images and not particularly refined, but one must admit that the subtext that permeates them always retains a certain power, an inherent effectiveness whose echo inevitably resonates with the viewer in turn.
