Dal mio verziere : saggi di polemica e di critica

This volume gathers a lively series of essays and polemical pieces that sprang from a close, sometimes heated, correspondence between two cultured friends. Written in the late 1800s, the author weaves personal memories, literary criticism and sharp social observations into compact, vivid fragments. The language is intimate yet intellectually vigorous, offering snapshots of the Italian cultural scene, debates over poetry, and the challenges faced by a woman writer asserting her voice.

Listeners will hear the author’s unapologetic stance against complacent classicism and her fierce affection for genuine artistic expression. Interlaced with letters, photographs and fleeting anecdotes, the essays reveal how personal grief, friendships across the sea, and the ever‑shifting urban landscape shaped her thought. The work feels like a private garden of ideas—rich, sometimes thorny, but always inviting the ear to linger over each cultivated thought.
