The young woman who, between 1951 and 1954, maintains a dense correspondence with the Italian-Swiss poet and Dante scholar Remo Fasani is not yet called Cristina Campo: names, works, and destiny are still in their early stages, and here one discovers the brilliance of themes and discoveries, in the definitive choice, for both, of the pursuit of beauty and truth.

Vittoria Guerrini meets Remo Fasani in Florence: a friendship is born centered on sharing readings, works of art, music, moments of life, writings, poems, and images. "I never feel so rooted in my land as when I see it in the eyes of this Swiss," Cristina Campo would write to a friend a few years later.
