The essay explores the relationship between Roberto Roversi and Vittorio Sereni. It examines their intellectual connections, including their collaborations in journals they directed (such as «Rendiconti» and «Questo e altro», as well as «Paragone» – and their editorial interactions. In his role as literary director at Mondadori, Sereni pursued, albeit unsuccessfully, the idea of bringing Roversi into the Milanese publishing house. The analysis then shifts to their respective views on the role of the writer and literature, as well as their expressive strategies. The study reveals a dynamic in which mutual personal and literary respect does not preclude recognition of the profound differences between the two authors, who represent opposing poles within the progressive cultural milieu of mid-to-late twentieth-century Italy.
Il saggio propone un’indagine intorno al rapporto tra Roberto Roversi e Vittorio Sereni. Si prendono dapprima in considerazione le loro relazioni intel-lettuali (le collaborazioni alle riviste da loro dirette: «Rendiconti» e «Questo e al-tro», ma anche «Paragone») e editoriali: Sereni, in quanto direttore letterario della Mondadori, ha trattato a lungo, ma senza successo, l’approdo di Roversi all’editore milanese. Vengono poi passate al vaglio le loro idee circa la funzione dello scritto-re e della letteratura, nonché le rispettive strategie espressive. Emerge un quadro nel quale la reciproca stima personale e letteraria non impedisce di misurare le profonde differenze fra questi due scrittori, che si collocano agli antipodi del mon-do culturale progressista del secondo Novecento italiano.

Abstract
The essay explores the relationship between Roberto Roversi and Vittorio Sereni. It examines their intellectual connections, including their collaborations in journals they directed (such as «Rendiconti» and «Questo e altro», as well as «Paragone» – and their editorial interactions. In his role as literary director at Mondadori, Sereni pursued, albeit unsuccessfully, the idea of bringing Roversi into the Milanese publishing house. The analysis then shifts to their respective views on the role of the writer and literature, as well as their expressive strategies. The study reveals a dynamic in which mutual personal and literary respect does not preclude recognition of the profound differences between the two authors, who represent opposing poles within the progressive cultural milieu of mid-to-late twentieth-century Italy.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
