Angiolo Silvio Novaro

Born in 1866, Angiolo Silvio Novaro was an Italian poet closely associated with Liguria, especially Diano Marina and the area around Capo Berta. He is remembered as a lyrical writer whose poems are rooted in landscape, memory, and everyday feeling.

Novaro came from a prosperous family and spent much of his life in his villa known as the Casa Rossa above the sea. That setting became an important part of his literary identity, and readers often connect his poetry with the light, colors, and rhythms of the Riviera.

He died in 1938. Today he is still recalled as a distinctive voice in modern Italian poetry, appreciated for verse that feels intimate, clear, and quietly evocative.
