Early Life and Influences

Born to a painter who fought in World War I, Zanzotto grew up largely without a father's presence due to his father's anti-Fascist views and subsequent exile to France. Despite his allergies and asthma, Zanzotto pursued his education at the University of Padua in 1939. There, he became captivated by the poetry of Hölderlin, Baudelaire, and Rimbaud.
