Donato Valli e il ruolo del 'territorio': pagine di critica e di vita

The essay examines the relationship between the critic Donato Valli and Puglia. In its large production, for over half a century, Valli has shown great attention to the knowledge and appreciation of the Apulian literature, beginning from the Salento one. Some authors and some books that have been the object of particular study by Valli are therefore highlighted. Furthermore, Valli maintained close relations with some writers, as shown by some letters full of news and emotion. In particular, the letters sent to Cristanziano Serricchio and Francesco Granatiero are interesting.
