Angiolo Silvio Novaro

Born in Diano Marina in 1866 and later closely connected with Oneglia, Angiolo Silvio Novaro was an Italian poet, writer, translator, and businessman. Italian reference sources consistently describe him as a figure of late 19th- and early 20th-century literature, and note his wide reading and his long ties to Liguria.

He is especially associated with lyrical, accessible poetry that often draws on family life, the natural world, and the sense of wonder found in childhood. His work became widely known in Italy, and he is still remembered for poems that entered popular memory through school reading and recitation.

Novaro died in 1938. Beyond his poetry, sources also credit him with work in prose and translation, making him a versatile literary figure whose writing remained rooted in clarity, feeling, and everyday beauty.
