Born in Rome into a wealthy family, Corazzini formed at the Collegio Umberto I, where he was passionate author and director of the college's puppet theater.

Because of his family's economic difficulties due to his father's reckless speculations on the stock market and to his mother's disease, he was forced to leave the college and to work in an insurance company.

In 1905 Corazzini founded the short-lived literary magazine Cronache latine, wrote his only drama play Il traguardo, and released a third poetry collection, Le aureole.

[1] Thematically, Corazzini’s poems are quite monotonous: they mainly focus on feelings of self-pity to present an image of the author as a ‘sick child’, just waiting for death, but, stylistically, they exhibit a vibrant experimentalism and sometimes they are written in free verse.

In sanatorium he started an unfinished translation of Joséphin Péladan's Sémiramis and kept composing poetries, partly collected in Libro per la sera della domenica.
