Maria Annunziata Bertagnolio
Born in Bologna on 12/22/1941 and resident in Rome

SITE: "La poesia di Maria Annunziata" ( Poetry by Maria Annunziata) It began in 2000 (click here to open the site in a new window). The site is still based on frames, and deserves a technical update. As soon as possible I'll propose that to the poet

REVIEW:
The site contains the works of an entire life reflecting the feelings of the author:

  • the works from 1954 to 1960, when Maria Annunziata was a child, were written in the years from when she lived in Trastevere or had recently moved to EUR. Among the 14 works of the period that she allowed to publish, some describe the feeling and charm of Rome at that time in the atmosphere and dream's landscapes.
  • There are also 19 poems written in the years 1960 to 1969 when she lived in EUR. Through her poetry she proves to have a great thirst for love, of which perhaps was enough by the parents, in her large family. Evidently she did also receive that disappointment by her relationships with the opposite sex, that didn't meet hes needs, more spiritual and intellectual than materials. After four failed attempts finally in January 1965 she met the right person, and married in April 1969.
  • The 20 works written from 1975 to 1999, are affected quite clearly by the disappointments of Maria Annunziata for the inconvenience and difficulties of life due to the change of residence: there is a transfer in a village in southern Italy (Statte in the town of Taranto) and her husband, pledged to climb the leadership in the steel plant, then the Europe's most important, not gave her the most devoted attention he had devoted until then. Maria Annunziata is passionately dedicated to her three children and great love makes her to express at the best . The poet returns to Rome and went to live with family in the husband family's house.
  • In the new millennium we find 18 poems telling the painful moments of her life at that time. In 2009 the youngest son Alessandro (Taranto 16/02/1977 - Rome 18/01/2009) died literally in her arms by a coronary occlusion (atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries) and shortly after the poetic production stops.
