Un articolo perduto e una lettera ritrovata. Carteggio Contini-Cecchi-Raimondi

When Giuseppe Raimondi’s novel Giuseppe in Italia was published by Mondadori, in April 1949, the author and his friends Gianfranco Contini and Emilio Cecchi began a period of intense correspondence. Such correspondence, as presented herein, from May to August 1949, is evidence of the deep friendship that existed in the relations between the three protagonists of Italian literary culture and documents a “disagreement” between the great philologist and the author of Pesci rossi which, in the light of some new letters, confirms again the rigour and ethical-moral strictness which Contini always stood by, as much in his work as in his life.
