Modern literature of Italian literature
In the first 30 years of the 20th century, Italy joined the ranks of imperialism and established the world's first fascist dictatorship. His literature presents a complicated situation. Futurism is a group of radical artists united under the banner of innovating traditional literature. They contended with Gabriele Dannunzio's aestheticism (1863 ~ 1938), adopted free and uninhibited means of expression, resorted to induction and fast pace, deliberately expressed the beauty of movement and strength, and expressed the impulse of human consciousness, which had an impact on European and American modernist literature and art. Secret poems sprouted in the 1920s, and their radiation spread to important poetry schools for more than half a century. The secret poets represented by Montalais, Weng Garetti (1888 ~ 1970) and Kwazimodo are good at describing the subtle emotions and instant feelings of people's inner world and venting the consciousness of a generation to safeguard individual dignity and value under the pressure of "the evil of life". Pirandro and Svevo (186 1 ~ 1928) are unique masters in the field of drama and fiction in the 20th century. The former breaks the norms of traditional drama, describes absurd events in absurd environment and depicts the tragedy of people losing themselves, while the latter abandons the techniques of traditional novels and shapes the morbid image of modern people with the help of subconscious. Neo-realism literature injected the passion and ideal of the anti-fascist resistance movement, and showed the anti-fascist struggle, the "southern problem" and the daily life of the little people in the early post-war period in an unpretentious style, which opened up a new look for Italian literature. Many postwar writers' achievements, such as Levi (1902 ~ 1975) and Pratolini (1913 ~10), are all related to neo-realism.
