Help me remember the name of a poet/playwright from northeastern Italy.

I can't remember much about his writing but I know he has focused on the confusion that arises from living on borders. I think he was from Friuli-Venezia Giulia because he seemed to have a particular fascination with the Italian-Slovenian border. He was alive two years ago and is between 65 -75. I should add that I he maybe a professor - I got the impression that he was well-versed in German literature. Anyone recognise this man?

No, I met this man in 2007. I'm not sure if he's still alive.
