Quick Summary

Sentimento del tempo (1933), meaning "The Feeling of Time," is a significant work by Italian poet Giuseppe Ungaretti. This collection of poems, written between 1919 and 1932, marks a shift in Ungaretti's style from his earlier, more stripped-down verse.12

In Sentimento del tempo, Ungaretti employed more complex language and symbolism, moving towards what is considered his second Symbolist manner. This phase of his work is characterized by a richer, more allusive, and sometimes obscure diction, drawing on tradition while presenting it in a unique way. This collection is a key example of the Hermetic movement in Italian poetry, which Ungaretti helped found.12
