Marco Onofrio (born February 11, 1971) is an Italian writer, essayist and literary critic. In 1995 he graduated with honors in contemporary Italian literature from the University of Rome "La Sapienza", defending a Laurea dissertation on the poet Dino Campana, which was awarded the 'Eugenio Montale' European Prize in 1996. His work deals primarily with modern and contemporary Italian literature, with special emphasis on the twentieth century writers. He studies the relationship of Italian and foreign writers with the city of Rome, and the impact of staying in or visiting Rome in their work. He also carries out activities of militant criticism aimed at the discovery and advancement of new editorial proposals. He has published several volumes of poetry and fiction, written dozens of prefaces and authored hundreds of articles in various Italian newspapers, including "Il Messaggero", "Il Tempo", "Lazio Ieri e Oggi", "Studium", "Nuova Antologia", "La Voce Romana", "L'Immaginazione", "Orlando". Among the works of fiction, he published the experimental novel "Senza cuore" (2012; ISBN 978-88-96517-97-0), the satirical tales "La scuola degli idioti" (2013; ISBN 978-88-6881-001-6), "ENERGIE" (2016; ISBN 978-88-98135-64-6), "Specchio doppio" (2022; ISBN 979-12-205-0073-9) and the emotional novel "Diario di un padre innamorato" (2016; ISBN 978-88-311-2867-4) focused on the experience of fatherhood and dedicated to his daughter Valentina. With his dramatic poem "Emporium. Poemetto di civile indignazione" he has anticipated - three years before the pamphlet "Indignez-vous!" (2011) by Stéphane Hessel - the movement of the "Indignados". Drawing inspiration from the poems of "La presenza di Giano", the musician Marcello Appignani has composed the songs collected in the album "Natura viva con oboe, chitarra e violoncello", published by RAI Trade in September 2014.
