Abstract
For Lina Galli, poetry has always been an effective
tool for addressing and revealing, as transparently as
possible, the collective issues. In her poetry trilogy,
Giorni di Guerra (1950), Tramortito mondo (1953)
and Notte sull’Istria (1958), she tries to depict the
deep sorrow of her people during and after the Second
World War. The first two collections reflect the
Istrian land destroyed and troubled by the war. Before
it broke out, Istria was, to her, the land of love,
sweet childhood memories and breath-taking landscapes.
In portraying the splendour of bygone days
spent in Poreč, she found comfort amid the terror
and violence of the time. From this contemplative
and nostalgic abandonment, which translates into
the representation of a landscape on the screen of
memory, one derives the contrasts of Istria, the land
of serenity and sadness, of love and pain.
