"Caro e gentile Solmi", "Carissimo Saba": lettere fra Umberto Saba e Sergio Solmi

This article contains what survives of the correspondence between Umberto Saba and Sergio Solmi, covering a 30-year period that extends from the time they met to the poet's death in 1957. The letters are primarily from Saba, who most likely did not carefully conserve those he had received from Solmi. The correspondence is important in that it bears witness not only to the decisive role that Solmi played in Saba criticism but also to Saba's exquisite style as a letter writer.
