Last year, I created a comics adaptation of a translation of “Sono una creatura,” an Italian WWI poem by Giuseppe Ungaretti (1888-1970). The translation, titled “I Am a Creature” was done by Dr. Marco Sonzogni and Dr. Ross Woods of Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand): https://julianpeterscomics.com/2014/08/13/i-am-a-creature-by-giuseppe-ungaretti/
Here now is the same poetry comic with the original Italian words:
(Ecco la mia versione a fumetti di “Sono una creatura”, una poesia di Giuseppe Ungaretti del 1916:)
Wow, that’s great. I can’t even read Italian, but it seems like I can thanks to your illustration!

Grazie, John. Perhaps comics are the international language of poetry!
