Complicated construction and restoration works have been undertaken since then to give new life to the abused property, mercilessly destroyed by the hand of man and the inclemency of nature for more than half a century.

It is now the occasion to appreciate nearby firms; familiar, retouched and other more recent writings that return to the poetry, narrative and essays of this great writer. Twelve texts that achieve a very appreciable harmonic sum in dispositions and judgments. […]
