Sergio Corazzini (Rome, 1886 - 1907) is considered one of the greatest exponents of the Crepuscular Roman cenacle. His incipient career is based so much on the solid relations of friendship that he established in the sessions of the famous Caffè Sartoris (usual meeting place of, among others, Fausto Maria Martini, Giulio Cesare Santini, Antonello Caprino, Tito Marrone, Enrico Brizzi, Armando De Santis, Rosario Altomonte or Corrado Govoni) as in his varied readings (from Carducci, Pascoli and D'Annunzio, to Francis Jammes, Maurice Maeterlinck or Jules Laforgue). Despite the sudden appearance of tuberculosis in 1902, his literary activity never ceased, publishing in a few years some of the most celebrated poems of his generation, such as Dolcezze (1904), L'amaro calice (1905), Le aureole (1906), Piccolo libro inutile (1906), Elegia (1906) or Libro per la sera della domenica. In 1906, Corazzini, due to the worsening of the disease, entered a sanitarium, which he left in 1907 to die months later.
