Victoria Aganoor Pompilj , Italan poet (1855-1910) Born in a noble family of Padua Armenian origin, was the seventh child Count Edward Aganoor and Giuseppina Pacini.
Raised in a family hard, given the changing and introverted father, Victor suffered throughout his life depression.
Educated at the behest of his mother, the priest and poet Giacomo Zanella, from an early age showed a particular propensity for writing and poetry.
too closed and shy, however, kept his secret writings for a long time. Extremely polite and pleasant outside, always hid his tormented character, and depression, which caused a long emotional dependence on his family.
Having sacrificed much of his life in the care of his mother and sister with a disability, the death of the former, si sposò con il nobile Guido Pompilj.
Nonostante tenesse molto alla propria fama di poetessa, l'ambizione primaria di Aganoor, come indicano sue lettere ad amici di famiglia, era quella di operare nella società sfruttando il ruolo di primo piano che le davano le sue origini prestigiose: sentì quindi la necessità di cercare un matrimonio che le desse l'opportunità di sfruttare al meglio le sue doti di intelligenza e capacità relazionali, che aveva sempre dimostrato nei salotti della sua cerchia di amici e conoscenti.
Guido, uomo misantropo e difficile, amò perdutamente Vittoria, ed ella lo vedeva come il suo unico conforto in un mondo di debolezza e corruzione.
Dopo le nozze, Vittoria cambiò il suo atteggiamento toward life, and published his first book of poems, eternal Legend (1900), which was enthusiastically received by critics. Considered by Benedetto Croce
a fresh and spontaneous writer (The literature of the new Italy), was for many years thought to be such by literary criticism, until the '70s, when his work was re-evaluated in light of an edition of its partial Letters: Victoria had always rejected the image of poet immediate and spontaneous writing and declared that "head" and not with the heart. In fact, his lyrics are fully included in the current literature of his time, and show echoes of Gabriele D'Annunzio, the twilight, the beloved Giacomo Leopardi, and friends Nencioni e Gnoli.
Il 9 aprile del 1910, all'età di cinquantacinque anni, fu ricoverata in una clinica a Roma, per sottoporsi ad un'operazione, legata probabilmente all'insorgenza di un cancro, ma morì improvvisamente, lasciando nello sconcerto tutti i suoi cari.
Il dolore provocato dalla sua scomparsa portò il marito a togliersi la vita; dopo aver sistemato velocemente gli affari di famiglia più urgenti, egli si sparò quel giorno stesso. Il gesto di Guido Pompilj conferì un'aura romantica al loro matrimonio e pose le poesie di Vittoria in ottica del tutto nuova, favorendone la divulgazione.
Di questa poetessa grazie alla raccolta di "Poesie d'amore dell'Ottocento e del primo Novecento" club of publishers - Milan (a book of my aunt in 1971, I "borrowed" from ehehehehehe my grandmother's house), I read this poem that I want to propose, from his first book of poems already mentioned:
DIALOGUE
We talk, but I know what you think
really?
And you know what I think? Van
words and a thin layer of rice
it often masks the effect.
We speak ... But then another voice
sure you hear the sound, of a different accent
I think I also listen to the strange
eco ...
speak to both of the tombs. We laugh
also, laugh
strong, and shining in the eyes of joy
to live in a jiffy
motto
end. In that abyss of core meanwhile
who then burst into tears?
(Eternal Legend)
Kiss and hug you soon:)
