Dos cartas inéditas de Miguel de Unamuno

Abstract

Unamuno did not travel much abroad, but he went to Italy twice. This is an unquestionable sign of his love and sympathy for this country. It is worth noting that, as happened in other critical periods of his life, like his exile to Fuer- teventura or the 97 crisis, Unamuno recorded his Italian experience in a diary, although he never published it. Unamuno’s influence extended quite easily among the Italian intellectuals of the time, and the Basque writer could not but recognize that -of what had been written about his works, in and out of Spain- the best was Italian. It is therefore a must to bring to light whatever unpublished work or written document refers to Unamuno’s relationship with Italy. This essay is about two letters, not yet published, which belong to the epistolary correspondence between Unamuno and two famous Italian intellectuals of his time.
