Saba was a keen reader who kept pet birds and studied the violin. In 1897 he transferred from the Gymnasium to a commercial college, the Imperial Academy of Commerce and Navigation, and then went to work in the office of a customs agent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 1900 he began composing poetry, signing his work “Umberto Chopin Poli.” In January 1903 Saba travelled to Pisa to study archaeology, German and Latin, but began to complain of a nervous disorder and, in June, returned to Trieste. After a holiday in Slovenia, he spent some time later that year in Switzerland, writing a play. In July 1904, the socialist newspaper, Il Lavoratore, edited by his friend Amadeo Tedeschi, published Saba’s account of a visit to Montenegro earlier in the year, and in May 1905, Il Lavoratore printed his first published poem. In 1905 he travelled to Florence with friends and \u2013 upon meeting his father for the first time \u2013 changed his nom de plume to “Umberto da Montereale,” after the town of his father’s birth. That summer he met Carolina (Lina) W\u00f6lfler, and began corresponding with her the following December. Between 1907 and 1908 he completed an obligatory year of Italian military service in an infantry unit based in Salerno. He married Lina in a Jewish ceremony in 1909, and they had a daughter, Linuccia, the following year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In November 1910 his first collection of poems, Poesie, was published under the name Saba, and the name was legally recognised as his surname in 1928. . This choice of name (which may be based on one of two Hebrew words \u2013 “sova” (\u05e9\u05d5\u05d1\u05e2) meaning “being well-fed” or “saba” (\u05e1\u05d1\u05d0) meaning “grandfather”) is thought by some scholars to be an homage to his Jewish mother, while others point to the similarity with his wet-nurse’s surname, Schobar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the spring of 1911, while Saba was away in Florence meeting people associated with the influential magazine La Voce, and initiating a collaboration with Mario Novaro, Lina had an affair with a painter. The couple separated, but were together again by May 1912 when the family moved to Bologna, where public readings of his poetry were poorly received and Saba was beset by depressed lows and creative highs. Destitute, in 1914 the family moved to Milan, where Saba found work first as a secretary, then as a nightclub manager. In early 1915 he began writing for Benito Mussolini’s Il Popolo d’Italia newspaper, but in June was drafted into the army, where he saw no active service and was hospitalised due to depression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 1919, he returned to Trieste and purchased the Mail\u00e4nder second-hand bookshop, which he renamed La Libreria Antica e Moderna. The business produced enough income to support the family, and Saba soon became enthusiastic about buying and selling rare old books and enjoyed the extensive travel involved. He self-published the first edition of his Songbook in 1921 (successive, enlarged editions followed, and eventually it grew to contain over four hundred poems, spanning fifty years). In 1929 he began psychoanalysis under the influential Trieste psychoanalyst Edoardo Weiss, a student of Freud.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In 1939 Saba sought exemption from the newly proclaimed anti-Jewish laws, but was unwilling to be baptised into the Catholic faith, so the following year he sold the bookshop to his long-time assistant and friend, Carlo Cerne. Upon the announcement of the armistice between Italy and Allied armed forces in 1943, Saba fled Trieste with his family to Florence, where they moved to eleven different hiding places over the following 12 months, to avoid deportation; after which Lina returned to Trieste and Saba moved to Rome, where he oversaw the publication of Scorciatoie e raccontini. In 1946 Saba was awarded the Viareggio Prize and returned to Trieste where, in the following year, he sparked a vitriolic debate over the future of the city with his article If I were named governor of Trieste.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 1948 prose essay “Storia e cronistoria del Canzoniere” (“History and chronology of song-writing”) shows autobiographical elements. “Gli Ebrei” (The Jews) which is part of his 1956 “Ricordi-Racconti 1910\u20131947” (“Records and Stories 1910\u20131947”) describes the life of the Trieste Jewish Community of his childhood. The 1952 “Vignette di vita giudaica” (“Vignettes of Jewish life”) includes a description of Samuel David Luzzatto, his mother’s uncle on her own mother’s side . His works indicate his knowledge of both Hebrew and the Trieste Jewish dialect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After being prescribed injectable opium for his depression, from 1950 onwards Saba was frequently admitted to a Rome nursing home for treatment of addiction. At the age of 70, in 1953, the University of Rome bestowed upon him an honorary doctorate, and he received an award from the Lincean Academy. He died at the age of 74 in Gorizia, nine months after a heart attack, and a year after the death of his wife.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
