abstract
This article deals with the works and poetics of the Italian poet Arturo Onofri (Rome, Sept.15, 1885 – Rome, Dec. 25, 1928) and, in particular, with the role that Anthroposophy and Esotericism in general play on his poetic works. Onofri was one of the most important Italian metaphysical poets of the 20th century. He took part in the poetic and cultural movement that demanded a renovation of Italian poetry, and wrote articles and poetry for the important Italian literary magazine La Voce. In 1924 Onofri wrote the introduction to the Italian translation of La scienza occulta nelle sue linee generali, written by Rudolf Steiner, and was one of the most active popularizers of the Austrian philosopher in Italy.
