Michele Barbieri was born in Milan and lives between Florence and Siena. Previously he served as a university researcher in political philosophy. He has published six distinct monographs in three diptychs dedicated to a German poet and a philosopher, to a Greek poet and philosopher, and to logic extended in word and silence. He has published studies on Clausewitz and on twentieth-century Italian poetry, as well as an Atlantic navigation diary. With the new diptych formed by Automatismi (Aracne 2019) and Musicismi (Polistampa 2023) he contributed to a reform of poetry through a revival of the Petrarchan “centrality of the self” and the Metastasian “sensitive delight”.
