Cyprian Kamil Norwid (1821-1883) is practically a new voice in Italy. Few and rare works on him (enough and advance the fingers of one hand) and diluted over almost fifty years.

Yet for the Slavic culture, it is one of the greatest European poets of the nineteenth century (even the greatest, according to Brodsky). The Italian reader, if he wants to apply himself to his reading (because of this powerful poet's need of application), can only give her reason.
