| Opplysninger | A short narrative text unknown until today brings us back, thanks to the careful philological care of Gioia Benedetti, the voice of one of the most original and brilliant critics of our twentieth century. Ruggero Jacobbi, at the end of his youthful stay in Brazil, had entrusted to the Nights of Copacabana, his only complete novel set in Rio de Janeiro in the 1950s, not only the climate and the atmosphere of a distant and in some ways mythical world like the carioca one, but also a significant trace of the readings, acquaintances, influences that the great texts of Lusitanian and South American literature had exerted on him, at the time still little known in Italy. Extraordinarily able to grasp and interpret the changes in the narrative code,Ruggero Jacobbi (1920-1981) was one of the most significant personalities of the second literary twentieth century: brilliant man of the theater, critic, poet, narrator, he trained alongside the great names of contemporary Italian and foreign literature, with an intellectual independence and an inventive ability that has always distinguished him. In 1946 he left for Brazil, where he remained for fifteen years (until 1960), actively participating in the cultural and theatrical renewal of the country (hundreds of his directing), also remaining profoundly marked by the Brazilian experience afterwards. Back in Italy he continued to work for the theater (as director of the Academy of Dramatic Art, screenwriter, director), translating and teaching Brazilian literature at the University of Rome. His multifaceted production, acute poetic sensitivity and lucid interpretative ability made him speak of a 'brilliant' critic and a poet of great importance, even if - at least until recent editions - "sensationally unpublished". Gioia Benedetti , graduated in Modern Philology at the University of Florence, is part of a research group directed by Anna Dolfi which deals with the edition, cataloguing and commentary of contemporary texts. His interests are mainly directed to modern literature and the history and culture of developing countries. [
