Summary/Abstract: The article entitled proposes an analysis of some stories from the collection of short stories In tutti i sensi come l’amore by young Italian writer of the nineties. The analyzed texts illustrate some deep and complicated relations between pathology and love, the last one understood as feeling of two persons, desire, passion, affection, parental affection or sexual satisfaction. The analysis shows tree types of such mutual dependence: sometimes this is the relation with the loved one which may cause some illness or disorders; sometimes the passion or the desire has the nature of a disorder; and finally, the illness is an inherent, constitutive element of the emotional relationship. Simona Vinci, in her subtle narrations, indicates the deeply human, almost archetypical character of the relation of illness and love.
