Today, having a boring cold, I am reading exciting copies of letters from the futurist Italo Tavolato to Ulla Bjerne. The copies were sent here from (thank you!) Åbo Akademi (the Swedish language university in Turku in Finland).
They were written either in Anacapri (!) or in Positano, between 1920 and 1923. One is from 1948.
This is a lot of fun. From what I've understood Tavolato was ”openly gay” but he seems to have wanted to marry Ulla and have her move to Capri. Maybe he saw the possibility of a marriage of convenience.
When you have a cold, should you really read exciting letters? I fear it won't help the recovery.
