Summary/Abstract: Photographies, archives of words? Some considerations regarding the relationship between image and text in the autobiographical literature. The study examines the relationship between text and image, from the point of view of a historian. There are discussed specific ways through which images recompose the past. Photography language idealizes and reinterprets the past, thus expres-sing individual identities and biographies. For cultural history of memory, photos provide subtle and nuanced information, revealing us how our personal interpre-tations of the past send it to date, in rebuilt formulas.
