THIS BOOK IS IN ITALIAN. 144 pages, con testimonianze di amici stranieri del poeta raccolte a cura di Leone Piccioni e uno scritto introduttivo di Jean Paulhan.

Eliot, Marianne Moore, Ezra Pound, Jules Supervielle, Allen Tate. Trade paperback-sized (16 x 23 cm), white card wraps with white paper (red and black lettering) French-fold DJ and glassine outer jacket similarly folded.

Laid in are a gift message from Maria Vittoria Sebastiani (later a professor of literature), evidently to the book's owner - Prof. Warner Berthoff then of Bryn Mawr College; also, a clipping from the TLS of 25 Sept. 1970 (now folded within white paper to prevent stains to the book), being an essay covering four books by or about Ungaretti, two of them by Leone Piccioni who compiled the present volume.
