Il paesaggio salentino in Donato Valli tra arte e letteratura

The essay is about the "view", a very important theme in Donato Valli's work. The study leads to a "street of dreams", walking along the Oriental coast of Salento peninsula up to Leuca. Donato Valli creates an "autobiographical space" thanks to his memory lane. It is supported by literary references of poets such as Vittorio Bodini and painters like Vincenzo Ciardo. Actually, Vincenzo Ciardo's works focus on olive tree leitmotiv, a traditional deity in Salento.
