FOR THE RECORD: This article appeared with serious typographical errors. A chart from a preceding article on Ungaretti by Luigi Paglia was inserted into my essay. The title, which appeared correctly in the margins and table of contents, was misspelt and erroneously placed at the foot of the last page of Paglia's note section. The editor never issued an ERRATA CORRIGE nor publicly acknowledged these major mistakes. Instead a few extra issues, only partially corrected, were sent to me. The version below is more correct than the one which appeared in the journal.
