Abstract <\/strong><\/p>\n

The article conjoins several interpretative perspectives. The first one focuses on Kazimiera Alberti\u2019s volume of poetry entitled Usta Italji <\/em>[The Mouth of Italy<\/em>] published in the 1930s, in which Alberti unconsciously predicts her future. Her poetic excursions into Italian cities, enhanced by autothematic tropes, reveal the writerly-feminine subjectivity. What the biographical discourse delineates there is the frame for affective experiences, such as melancholy, sadness, and passion. This experience of the place would be identified today as the poetics of space, in which actual addresses merge with made up after-images. The second part of the article is devoted to Kazimiera Alberti\u2019s experience of living in \u2013 and not only sightseeing \u2013 Italy. An analysis of the cultural memory code makes it possible to accurately portray the effort with which the poet seeks an original way of inhabiting the world that spans between the tragic Polish past and the Italian space of salvage. A reflection on Kazimiera Alberti\u2019s letter to Maria Grabowiecka becomes not only an interpretative procedure but also \u2013 and primarily \u2013 a trigger to discuss the (arguably) central theme in Alberti\u2019s oeuvre<\/em>: the gesture of re-creation. This gesture stands for the attempt to re-create the world in the language of great cultural myths, or for the creative passion whose poetic evocation is Capri \u2013 an island equally real and \u201cmade up\u201d or imagined.<\/p>\n
