Summary:Italian poetry's international fame was confirmed with the 1970 awarding of the 'Books Abroad' International Prize for Literature to the late poet Giuseppe Ungaretti, dubbed as the great renovator of Italian poetry. It was further confirmed when Eugenio Montale was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1975.
