Possible definitions for dentale
-->de Valera
Irish (U.S.-born) politician and patriot. Born in New York City to a Spanish father and an Irish mother, at age 2 he was sent to live with his mother's family in Ireland when his father died. He joined the Irish Volunteers (1913) and helped lead the rebels in the Easter Rising. He was elected president of Sinn Fé in in 1918. Repudiating the treaty that formed the Irish Free State because it provided for the partition of Ireland, he supported the republican resistance in the ensuing civil war. In 1924 he founded Fianna Fá il, which won the 1932 elections. As prime minister (1932-48), he took the Irish Free State out of the British Commonwealth and made his country a "sovereign" state, renamed Ireland, or É ire. He proclaimed Ireland neutral in World War II. After twice serving again as prime minister (1951-54, 1957-59), he became president of Ireland (1959-73).
Gentile
Italian philosopher sometimes called the "philosopher of Fascism." A university professor, he and B. Croce edited the journal La Critica (1903-22). He served in education posts in B. Mussolini's government. His philosophy of "actual idealism," strongly influenced by G. W. F. Hegel, denied the existence of individual minds and of any distinction between theory and practice, subject and object, past and present. He planned and edited the Enciclopedia Italiana (1936) and wrote prolifically on education and philosophy. After Mussolini's fall in 1943, he supported the Fascist Social Republic established by the Germans at Salò ; he was killed by anti-Fascist communists.
Montale
Italian poet, prose writer, editor, and translator. Montale began his literary activities after World War I, cofounding a journal, writing for other journals, and serving as a library director in Florence. His first book of poems, Cuttlefish Bones (1925), expressed the bitter pessimism of the postwar period. He was identified with Hermeticism in the 1930s and '40s, before his works became progressively introverted and obscure. The Storm and Other Poems (1956) and subsequent works showed increasing skill, warmth, and directness. His stories and sketches were collected in The Butterfly of Dinard (1956). He received the Nobel Prize in 1975.
