Gian Luigi Nespoli

In 1991 Nespoli organized, on behalf of a left-wing publishing house of Milan, Edizioni Rapporti Sociali, an anthology of poems from prison, Bisogna armare d'acciaio i canti del nostro tempo ("We must arm the songs of our time with steel"), a title that reproduces a famous verse by Ho Chi Minh.

Also, in collaboration with Irina Bajini, realized the Italian edition of the book of poems "The islands and the fireflies" of the Cuban poet Jesus Cos Causse (1994).

He has also translated into Italian other Cuban poets like Efraín Nadereau Maceo and Carlos Valerino García.

Nespoli offered many recitals of his poems - and, in general, of non-institutional poets - in Italy, Germany and Cuba.

He has also been responsible for the series "Crimes against humanity" - "Auschwitz", "Hiroshima and Nagasaki", "Vietnam", "Latin America and the Caribbean" - by the Italian publishing house "Zambon".
