Summary/Abstract: The article reflects on the common features of the creative temperaments of two writers: Witold Gombrowicz and Michele Mari, the co-author of the latest Italian translation of 'Ferdydurke'. The highlighted similarities include a creative attitude towards the canon and tradition, linguistic experimentation as the main determinant of style, as well as reflection on the following issues: creative freedom, social limitations of the individual, creativity and reception. These affinities allowed Mari, as a translator, to “rewrite” Gombrowicz’s original in accordance with his own literary temperament and incorporate it into the Italian universe of meanings.
