Juana Bignozzi

[2][3][4] Though growing up with economic limitations, she always had privileged access to culture and education over other expenses, which Bignozzi greatly appreciated.

[3][5] In the late 1950s, Bignozzi became a militant in the Communist Party, and from there became involved with the poets' circle El Pan Duro, where she met Juan Gelman,[6] Juan Carlos Portantiero, and José Luis Mangieri [es].

[3] In 1974, she married Hugo Mariani and moved to Barcelona, before the beginning of the National Reorganization Process.

She spent 30 years of her life in Spain, working as a translator[6] and traveling frequently to Florence.

[2] About poetry, Bignozzi said: I want what I say to be understood, but not necessarily easy to understand [...] You are a poet to work with the language in another way.
