Guido Gozzano - I colloqui - 1911

"I Colloqui" by Guido Gozzano, published in Milan by Fratelli Treves Editori in 1911 - first edition.
It is the most famous work of the Turin-born poet, a central figure of the crepuscolar movement. The original cover, visible in the photos, features a monochrome illustration by the renowned artist Leonardo Bistolfi.
- Content: The collection comprises 24 lyric poems, including masterpieces such as "La signorina Felicita ovvero la Felicità".
- Structure: It is divided into three sections: Il giovenile errore, Alle soglie and Il reduce.
This specific edition is considered rare and of notable interest for 20th-century literature collectors.
Internal conditions excellent with only very slight foxing on pages 104 and 105 and on pages 116 and 117. Signs of use to the soft cover, otherwise a good copy printed on strong paper belonging to the first absolute edition of this masterpiece of crepuscolarismo. In particular the absence of the indication of the migliaio on the frontispiece (see photograph) is the fundamental detail that confirms this is the very first issue released from the Treves Typography presses.
