Erminia Fuà Fusinato: when pedagogy meets poetry

The article traces the conspicuous points of the poetic reflection of Erminia Fuà Fusinato (1834-1876), who through the cult of childhood memories builds a poetic world with unique educational purposes and singular in the historical context of the time. Recovering the places, memories and emotions of a past childhood in a mythopoeic key means for Erminia Fuà Fusinato to go through our whole life. Through that time that has been and that will be but that never is, yet always returns in our gestures, in our gait. In Erminia’s production, poetry is intertwined with the pedagogical gesture of leaning and veering over the childhood of man and the world.
