- Title
Dialoghi nel Sud II.
- Authors
Brandon Albini, Maria
- Abstract
The author outlines her travel experience in Basilicata, which she visited in 1960 as part of a longer itinerary across the postwar Italian South that she took several years to carry out. As regards economics, the areas that she visited were the country's poorest, but they were also culturally thick and rich in art and literature as well. Basilicata shows the traveller its often-sore beauty, burdened with misery and isolation. Here, she encounters with a people that faces dramas (poverty, illness) with dignity and resignation and induces her to consider her own psychological and emotional condition.
