Emigrazione da Piombino Dese: l’heimat poetico di Luciano Pallaro
Abstract
This article explores the biographical and poetic experiences of Luciano Pallaro, an obscure poet born in Piombino Dese (Padova) who emigrated to the German-speaking canton of Switzerland in 1959. Despite settling permanently in Switzerland, Pallaro retained strong physical and emotional connections with his homeland, its dialect, and his family. He was the author of a brief poetry collection, Il pane dell’anima (1998), in which he articulates his longing to return and the emotional complexities of a voluntary yet painful migration. In his poems, Piombino is not merely a geographical location but an idealised locus amoenus and heimat, symbolising childhood and affection.
