Salvatore Quasimodo’s journalist ID has him down as a theatre critic at the magazine Tempo. Quasimodo first studied to be an engineer and worked a few years in that field, but he had always been writing poetry and focused entirely on literature from 1938, as a poet, translator and editor.
The journalist ID was donated to the Nobel Prize Museum by the Quasimodo family in 2018.
