Dear Mr Skold,
A useful list of links for your directory, for Italy, is the online Dictionary of Italian Librarians (based on the website of the Italian Library Association) http://www.aib.it/aib/editoria/dbbi20/dbbi20.htm
The most-known poets-librarians are Montale, Guerrini, Di Giacomo (already listed) and Domenico Gnoli (not in your list, also known as Giulio Orsini). Other well-known poets-librarians from Italy are Manlio Dazzi, Renato Fucini, Giuseppe Guglielmi, Biagia Masulli-Marniti, Ubaldo Mazzini, Ettore Moschino, Giggi Zanazzo. But a lot of others wrote poems, while they are not widely known neither as poets nor as librarians.
Among living persons, the most famous is perhaps Francesco Leonetti (http://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/francesco-leonetti/ in the most important Italian encyclopaedia, but it does not mention his work at the Archiginnasio Library in Bologna and as director of the Malatestiana Library in Cesena). Best wishes for your work Alberto Petrucciani
THANK YOU Mr. Petrucciani!
