【 摘 要 】

Tuscany is for Cassola, who was born and had long been living in Rome, a land of choice where he moved after his Twenties and set almost all his works. The paper explores, both from a biographical and a literary point of view, the writer’s attachment to places whose importance and inspirational value were such that he even thought of them as possible principles of thematic organization in cycles for his entire literary production, that is Cecina, Volterra, and the inland of Maremma. The literary transposition of these beloved places is informed by the astonishment he felt when he discovered them as an adolescent on holiday. The beauty of landscapes is described with the lyricism of his writing’s existential realism.
