Abstract

In 1942 Giuseppe Ungaretti entrusts to Arnoldo Mondadori’s publishing house the publication of all of his works. After the first two books, L’Allegria (Milano 1942) and Sentimento del Tempo (Milano 1943), in 1945 the critic Giuseppe De Robertis edits the third one, entitled Poesie disperse, which contains also the variants of all Ungaretti’s poems. That’s the first example of critical edition of the texts of a living author. The paper presents the birth, the evolution and the realization of this book through the analysis of the correspondence between Ungaretti and De Robertis (edited by Domenico De Robertis in 1984) and the unpublished one between De Robertis and the roman critic Enrico Falqui, which is made up of 1539 missives (letters and postcards) written from 1933 to 1963. The missives they exchanged in 1942 and 1943 are fundamental to understand the philological approach of De Robertis and how the advices given by Falqui (who, actually, was not a philologist) influenced him.
