Alberto Asor Rosa explains the origins of this special issue of the Bollettino, dedicated toItalo Calvino: the most evident reason, the 90th anniversary of his birth, and the deeper,the need to draw critical attention to the Italian writer in a time when understandinghis literary creativity, referring to an idea of artistic work, could straighten the marketand the mass-media distortions which affect the contemporary cultural production. AsorRosa reminds Calvino's double form of literary inspiration: firstly, the constant dialoguewith tradition, both in the essays as in his creative production, and, on the other hand, aradical and planned experimental vocation; these aspects are fundamental to understandCalvino. This issue means to reflect this kind of setting, with essays that, in most cases,through deep surveys, highlight the dissonance between Calvino's work and his contemporaries'works.
