caption: Giacomo LEOPARDI (29 June 1798 – 14 June 1837) in a portrait by Renato Guttuso (26 December 1911 – 18 January 1987) dedicated ''...to poets and astronauts...'' in the year of the first human moon landing with the Apollo 11 mission. The poet's profile faces the star of the night, underlined by his famous verses ''che fai tu, luna, in ciel?....''. The extraordinary poet suffered throughout his life from a series of illnesses and infirmities due to his frail physique, a childhood spent studying in an unhealthy environment and a hypersensitive and nervous temperament. Lithograph, Italy 1969.
