Le lettere di Gabriele d’Annunzio a Virginio Avi. Una corrispondenza politica Il Fondo Tursi presso la Fondazione Giorgio Cini e la Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana di Venezia

The Tursi Fund, kept at the Cini Foundation and the Marciana Library in Venice, largely unpublished, preserves an important and unexplored heritage referring to the ‘Venetian period’ of d’Annunzio and to the political and military commitment in aviation during the first world conflict. The essay presents an integral and chronologically reconstruction of the entire collection with particular attention to the letters sent by d’Annunzio to Virginio Avi, director of the Gazzetta di Venezia between 1916 and 1918.
