In the first half of the 1980s, he was among the founders of the magazine Braci, where a new classicism was proposed. Inspired by ancient Latin poets and by the Italian Renaissance, his themes are mainly nature and cosmos, with a side attention to current scientific research. "If the Horatian scenes of Sabina refer to a type of modern Arcadia, their specific quality is above all to approach a voice that is internal and literally poetic, refounded and reguarded like an unexpected and precious gift" (Roberto Galaverni, Contemporary Italian Poets, Modern Poetry in translation no. His poems have been interpreted by such actors as Nanni Moretti and Piera Degli Esposti. Main prizes and awards: Premio Viareggio, Premio Carducci, Premio Montale, Premio Luzi, Premio Lerici, Premio Volterra, Premio Laurentum, Premio Brancati, Premio Frascati, Premio Alpi Apuane, Premio Camaiore.
