ADA NEGRI
'Ada Negri' (February 3, 1870, Lodi, Italy - January 11, 1945, Milano) was an Italian poet.
She was born of an artisan family to Giuseppe Negri, and his wife Vittoria Cornalba, and became a village school-teacher. Her first book of poems, ''Tempeste'' (1891), tells the helpless tragedy of the forsaken poor, in words of vehement beauty.
Her second volume of lyrics, ''Fatalità'', confirmed her reputation as a poet, and led to her appointment to the normal school at Milan; but her later verse, while striking in its sincerity, has been thought to suffer from a tendency to repetition and consequent mannerism.
She became the first woman member of the Italian Academy in 1940.
