BRUNA BIANCO: AN ALMOST UNKNOWN SENTIMENTAL STORY BETWEEN LOVE AND PARAPHILIA.

Abstract

This contribution aims to offer some consideration about the relationship that involved the great poet Giuseppe Ungaretti, then seventy-eight, and the young poet Bruna Bianco, fifty-two years younger. There are some aspects of the story and the intense correspondence that saw the two lovers linked for four years from August 1966. In particular, the attempt is to understand the position of both: if it is perhaps easier to take the point of view of the old poet, the position of the young Bruna is certainly more complex. After considering and setting aside the paraphilia hypothesis, the nature and characteristics of the relationship between the two are deepened according to a psychoanalytic-existential perspective
