Tolmino Baldassari (1927-2005) - poet
He was born in Castiglione di Cervia, we remember him as the greatest dialectal poet from Cervia.
His poetry is deep, experienced not as a song but as meditation.
His approach to reality comes across with extraordinary sentimental lyricism and is completely centralized on great themes: life and death.
Life is marked by pain and death is nothing else but a means of getting away from the badness of life.
In 1975 Baldassari starts publishing a large collection of poems and in 1979 he appears in an anthology of literature in Emila-Romagna, included among the most important names from its origins to present day.
