Eugenio Montale is a very important Italian poet of the 20th century who acquired fame within literary circles. Being as talented as he was, he was awarded the Nobel Prize of literature. Between 1925 and 1982, he published eight collections of poetry, one of which was posthumous. In this essay, I will analyze the main subjects of four of these collections: Ossi di seppia, Le Occasioni, La bufera e altro and Satura. From his first collection, Ossi di seppia, Montale's poetic word appears in the form of a discussion. The poetic commitment of Montale, from the beginning, will be this thirst for knowledge, located between experience and reason, the strength of an absolute which draws a lot from poetic and metaphysical mythology.
