The poem appears in Satura. The collection includes poems composed between 1962 and 1970 and is divided into four sections: "Xenia I" and "Xenia II", "saturates" and "Vivid II". With these subtitles Latin Eugenio Montale (Genoa 1896 - Milan 1981) alludes to the first, the "gifts that were given to guests' when they left the house (they are poems dedicated to his wife Drusilla Tanzi recently passed away) and, for the latter, the variety of themes of inspiration and the presence of satirical tone. "It's raining," he parodies and sarcastic towards aspects of "Rain in the pine" of D'Annunzio. But not only that. It is also a kind of manifesto of the pessimism of Montale and elegance of the human condition. Claudio Di Scalzo
rains
It's raining. It is a trickle without
thuds of scooters or
screams of children.
raining from the sky that has not
clouds.
raining on anything you do in these hours of
general strike.
raining on your grave
San Felice a Ema
and earth trembles
earthquake because there is no war.
not raining on the tale of distant
beautiful seasons, but the folder
tax collection
rains on cuttlebone
and national manger.
rains in the Official Gazette
here from the balcony open,
rains on Parliament
raining on via Solferino,
rain without the wind
thuds of scooters or
screams of children.
raining from the sky that has not
clouds.
raining on anything you do in these hours of
general strike.
raining on your grave
San Felice a Ema
and earth trembles
earthquake because there is no war.
not raining on the tale of distant
