Can anyone identify the author and place where I could find this Italian poem?
Could you even provide a literal translation?

BELLEZZE

Il campo di frumento e cosi bello
solo perche ci sono dentro
i fiori di papavero e di veccia;
ed il tuo volto pallido
perche e tirato un poco indietro
dal peso della lunga treccia.

Hallo - and thanks for your question.

You can find this poem by Corrado Govoni at:

'Poesia' - an Italian poetry site:

http://www.poetare.it/donna.html#Bellezze

or another collection of poems at:

http://www.la-poesia.it/italiani/fine-1900/vari/govoni-bellezze.htm

I've put together a basic translation for you:

BEAUTIES

So the field of wheat is beautiful
only because in it there are 
flowers of poppy and vetchling;
and your pale face
because it is pulled a little backwards
from the weight of one long tress.

You'll find there is plenty of information on him and his poetry in
Italian but not so much in English. There's a very short English
language biography of Govoni with translations of a few of his poems
on the Futurism website at:

I hope this is helpful. Please ask if this answer needs any
clarification.

search notes:
First I searched Google with quotes from the poem, then 'Govoni' but
found no ready-made English version.
As I have some knowledge of Italian I managed, with a dictionary by my
side, to produce a literal translation.

Here was where I checked that veccia meant vetchling:
