Ethnicity:
Leopoldo was born into a family of French and Spanish descent.
Leopoldo Marechal was born on June 11, 1900 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the family of Alberto and Lorenza (Beloqui) Marechal.
In 1922, Leopoldo graduated from Escuela Normal de Professores “Mariano Austa” (Buenos Aires).
Marechal became a primary school teacher and a high school professor after obtaining his degree despite enormous economic difficulties. During the 1920s he was among the poets who rallied around the movement represented by the literary journal Martín Fierro. While his first published works of poetry, Los aguiluchos and Días como flechas, tended towards vanguardism, his Odas para el hombre y la mujer showed a blend of novelty and a more classical style. It is with this collection of poems that Marechal obtained his first official recognition as a poet in 1929, the Premio Municipal de Poesía of the city of Buenos Aires.
Marechal was not a widely recognized figure in Argentine literature until the 1965 reprint of Adam Buenosayres, which ignited a resurgence of interest in his work. His seminal novel has been translated into French by Patrice Toulat, into Italian by Nicola Jacchia, and into English by Norman Cheadle and Sheila Ethier. The poet was officially invited to Cuba in 1967, where he formed part of the international jury for the annual Casa de las Américas prize for literature. Marechal has since become a fundamental influence in Argentine poetry and fiction, although he continues to be a relatively unknown figure on the international scene.
Leopoldo supported the values of Catholic church.
Leopoldo began as a socialist and became a Peronist.
Marechal married María Zoraida Barreiro in 1934. Their two daughters, María de los Ángeles and María Magdalena, were born some years after. The poet's wife died in 1947, leaving him with two small children. Then in 1950 he married Elbia Rosbaco.
