Sommario/riassunto

Situated between Po Valley and the Mediterranean Sea, Liguria appears as a rainbow-shaped and mountainous island, extending from the Tuscan sandy shores of Versilia to the French Alps. Through several modern and contemporary poets and novelists, Pagano illustrates fragile beauty of this quintessential Mediterranean landscape.
