Summary/Abstract: The article discusses translations into Italian of Polish poets who made their debuts after 1989. In these translations, publishers and translators appear to lack a clear, long-term strategy; however, it is possible to analyze how these publications came into existence. A decisive factor influencing the strong presence of contemporary Polish poetry in Italy has been support from the Instytut Książki, which for several years has financed translations of Polish literature, and from the Polish Institute in Rome, especially during the years of Jarosław Mikołajewski’s tenure as director.
