                  <text>The collection dedicated to Italian poet and writer Guido Gozzano (1883-1916) displays the author’s illustrated works as they appeared in their first publication in periodicals. Between 1903 and 1916 Gozzano published, in thirty-five different journals, more than two hundred texts, including poems, travel reports, fairy tales, miscellaneous prose and reviews, few of which find publication in volume during the author’s lifetime. Among those, seventy-two texts (33% of the total) are accompanied by images – photographs and illustrations – which are not found in later editions. The loss of this interplay affects not only images, but involves the meaning of Gozzano’s texts, which in the first publication was constructed in iconotextual interaction. The digital archive makes it possible to consult Gozzano’s illustrated periodical publications, which are increasingly difficult to find and are often the only existing witness to the original iconotestual link, allowing scholars and the interested public to have access to the original intermedial configuration of the works.</text>

                <text>Prosa pubblicata su «La Donna», 20 dicembre 1912, pp. 52-53.
Racconta la leggenda della nascita del violino, che sarebbe un'invenzione del "Nemico". La vicenda è ambientata in Boemia, "in tempi remotissimi": a seguito di un patto con la protagonista Rekma, lo spirito malvagio costruisce lo strumento utilizzando i corpi dei familiari della ragazza. Rekma riesce a sedurre il cavaliere amato con la musica incantata, ma il lieto fine le è precluso: lo spirito torna infine a reclamare le anime degli sposi.
Un'intestazione editoriale definisce il testo "novella" e riporta il cognome dell'illustratore Manca.</text>

                <text>Poem published on «La Donna», 20th December 1912, pp. 52-53.
It tells the legend of the birth of the violin, said to be an invention of the "Enemy". The story is set in Bohemia, in remote times: following a pact with the protagonist Rekma, the evil spirit builds the instrument using the bodies of the girl's relatives. Rekma succeeds in seducing her beloved knight with the enchanted music, but a happy ending is precluded: the spirit eventually returns to claim the souls of the bride and groom.
An editorial header defines the text as a "novella" and bears the surname of the illustrator Manca.</text>
