Reportage polacchi nel Sud Italia oggi: Dariusz Czaja, Jarosław Mikołajewski e Paweł Smoleński
Contemporary Polish Reportage Stories from the South of Italy: Dariusz Czaja, Jarosław Mikołajewski and Paweł Smoleński

Summary/Abstract: Over the past few years, the Polish publishing house Czarne, which specializes in reportage and non-fiction literature, has published several books about Italy. The most obvious element that unites them is undoubtedly the area of the country on which these books focus, and which we could (broadly) define as the South of the Peninsula. After years of glances shot only fleetingly by Polish tourists and artists towards “our” South, suddenly it thus becomes a source of profound socio-cultural reflections, as well as a reference point for reading current events. In this article, Alessandro Ajres discusses the reasons for this change of approach to southern Italy starting from the texts by Dariusz Czaja and moving on to Jarosław Mikołajewski and Paweł Smoleński’s (written by four hands).
