The Legend of icily's Basil Pots 

Fair Isabel, poor simple Isabel! Lorenzo, a young palmer in Love’s eye! They could not in the self-same mansion dwell Without some stir of heart, some malady; They could not sit at meals but feel how well It soothed each to be the other by; They could not, sure, beneath the same roof sleep But to each other dream, and nightly weep. [John Keats]

 

 

The novel of Ferrara: a portrait of Jewish lives in Ferrara 

In short stories, novels, poems, and essays, Giorgio Bassani has composed perhaps the most compelling and lyrical portrait of Jewish life in Ferrara from the early twentieth century to the postwar years. And by extension, an insightful meditation of the condition of the Jewish minority in Italy and its complex relationship with the Catholic majority.
