Bontempelli papers, 1865-1991.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80461371

The collection extensively documents, through correspondence and photographs, Bontempelli's most important personal experiences after 1920, including his love affair with the French painter Mariette Lydis and his relationship with the writer Paola Masino. The writers and editors with whom he was associated after 1920 are also represented in the correspondence series, including G.A. Borgese, Jovine Livio Stanis, Emilio Cecchi, Giuseppe Ungaretti, Elio Vittorini, Ada Negri, Gian Francesco Malipiero, Ugo Ojetti, Anna Maria Ortese, and Alberto and Arnoldo Mondadori. There is a small amount of correspondence with Pirandello (8 letters) from before 1920 and a number of photographs of him from the thirties and forties. Substantial amounts of correspondence with Nino Frank and Malaparte concern the founding and editing of '900. There are handwritten or corrected typewritten drafts of Bontempelli's mature novels, including Il figlio di due madri and Vita e morte di Adria e dei suoi figli; selections from four short story collections; all plays except Guardia alla luna; many of the essays or lectures eventually published in collections, including those on novecentismo; translations; and numerous musical scores. A number of Bontempelli's stories, plays and reviews are featured in the collection's serials, while clippings include copies of his regular column for Tempo, coverage of his Senate election and nullification, reviews of his work, and accounts of his travels.
