Giuseppe Ungaretti Giuseppe Ungaretti (] ; 8 February 1888 – 2 June 1970) was an Italian modernist poet, journalist, essayist, critic, academic, and recipient of the inaugural 1970 Neustadt International Prize for Literature.

Ungaretti debuted as a poet while fighting in the trenches, publishing one of his best-known pieces, "L'allegria" ("The Joy").
