Abstract
This article considers parallels between Edoardo Sanguineti's collections of poems Reisebilder (1971) and Postkarten (1978) and Eugenio Montale's Satura (1971), notably their recording of the specifics of travel in a matter-of-fact, ironic, and quasi-diaristic style. While not suggesting any fundamental convergence between the two poets, the study none the less finds a widespread recurrence of images and scenarios which, combined with specific textual echoes, supports a hypothesis of influence. For all their differences in style, ideology, and timbre, Sanguineti draws on Montale's poetic persona and imagery in Satura for his own construction of a new literary model of the intellectual.
