Attilio Bertolucci was an Italian poet and writer. He is father to film directors Giuseppe and Bernardo Bertolucci.

Bertolucci was born at San Lazzaro , to a family of agricultural bourgeoisie of northern Italy. He began to write poems very early. In 1928 he collaborated to the Gazzetta di Parma, where his friend Cesare Zavattini was editor-in-chief. The following year Bertolucci published his first poetical collection, Sirio.

In 1931 he started his studies of law in the University of Parma, which however he left soon in favour of artistical and literary studies. In the following year his work Fuochi di Novembre gained him the praise of Italian poets like Eugenio Montale.

In 1951 he moved to Rome. His marriage with Ninetta Giovanardi had given him two sons, Bernardo and Giuseppe , both future film directors. In 1951 he also published La capanna indiana and won the Viareggio Prize for literature. In this period he cemented a friendship with Pier Paolo Pasolini.

Viaggio d'inverno of 1971 is one of Bertolucci's finest works. This work saw a noteworthy change of style in Bertolucci's poetry: while the first works were, according to Franco Fortini, characterized by "the choice of a humble language for pastoral situations", his works were more complex and marked by unsureness feelings. From 1975, together with Enzo Siciliano and Alberto Moravia he directed the literary review Nuovi Argomenti. He won another Viareggio Prize for the narrative poem Camera da letto .

His last work was La lucertola di Casarola , a collection of works from his youth and other unpublished poems.

Bertolucci died in Rome in 2000.
