Valli docente di bibliografia

In the years 1968-1971, Donato Valli was entrusted by the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lecce with the task of teaching "Bibliography and Librarianship": the reasons for this choice must be sought in his youth and training years first at the private library of Girolamo Comi, then at the "Nicola Bernardini" Provincial library of Lecce. Briefly illustrating the scientific contributions produced even after the transition to the chair of modern and contemporary Italian literature, and identifying the main lines of his unfortunately short academic season, that is, research, production and teaching, the author traces a profile of Valli which integrates the other aspects of his personality. Through the list of the degree theses assigned, his current idea of the territory and the book heritage is reconstructed as an inexhaustible resource at the base of literary studies.
