Giovanni Marradi (1852–1922) was an Italian poet born at Livorno and educated at Pisa and Florence.
At the latter place he started with others a short-lived review, the Nuovi Goliardi, which made some literary sensation.
He became a teacher at various colleges, and eventually an educational inspector in Massa Carrara.
He was much influenced by Carducci, and became known not only as a critic but as a charming descriptive poet, his principal volumes of verse being Canzone moderne (1870), Fantasie marnie (1881), Canzoni e fantasie (1853), Ricordi lirici (1884), Poesie (1887), Nuovi canti (1891) and Ballati moderne (1895). He is the great-grandfather of the expressionist musician Giovanni Marradi.
