This article was first conceived upon discovering a collection of unpublished correspondence between the French poet André Frénaud (1903-1997) and some of the main twentieth-century Italian poets, critics, essayists and publishers in the years from 1946 to the mid-eighties. Following an introductory outline of Frénaud’s life and poetics, the essay provides a sketch of his fortune in Italy. Thereupon follows a description of the letters themselves, with an analysis of a number of them written by poets of the Milan area (Fortini, Vittorini, Montale, Sereni, Solmi, Erba, Risi): what emerges are friendly relationships, book exchanges and reviews, as well as shared publication projects, particularly intense during the fifties.

Abstract
This article was first conceived upon discovering a collection of unpublished correspondence between the French poet André Frénaud (1903-1997) and some of the main twentieth-century Italian poets, critics, essayists and publishers in the years from 1946 to the mid-eighties. Following an introductory outline of Frénaud’s life and poetics, the essay provides a sketch of his fortune in Italy. Thereupon follows a description of the letters themselves, with an analysis of a number of them written by poets of the Milan area (Fortini, Vittorini, Montale, Sereni, Solmi, Erba, Risi): what emerges are friendly relationships, book exchanges and reviews, as well as shared publication projects, particularly intense during the fifties.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
