In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Illustration Source credits With few exceptions, the people who took the photographs included in this book can no longer be identified. Where they can be, they have been. virtually all the pictures of Pavese, his family, and friends have been previously published in Italy, most more than once and often without attribution or credit, a tradition that goes back to the first Pavese biography in 1960. davide Lajolo’s Il Vizio Assurdo (Milan: Il Saggiatore) contains thirty-two photographs, none of them credited or identified by source even though Pavese’s sister probably supplied most of the originals. In 1961, in a series of short illustrated biographies called Chi l’ha visto: biblioteca illustrata dei personaggi, Trevi editore of Milan published a volume on Pavese, with text by giuseppe Trevisani. It contains more than sixty photographs, some duplicates of those in the Lajolo book and some new. no credits or sources are listed. Even Einaudi, publishing in 1983 a cumulative catalog for its fiftieth anniversary, Cinquant’anni di un editore: Le edizioni Einaudi negli anni 1933–1983, lists no credits or sources for the three pictures of Pavese or for any of the other dozens of photographs that precede the text. Franco vaccaneo’s pictorial biography, Cesare Pavese, una biografia per immagini: la vita, i libri, le carte, i luoghi (cavallermaggiore, gribaudi, 1989) does include a list of sources but does not link the sources to specific images. Thus, in reproducing here images that appear in this book, which Mr. vaccaneo has courteously permitted, the original source is not always identified. In 2007 the centro Interuniversitario per gli Studi di Letteratura Italiana in Piemonte “guido gozzano–cesare Pavese,” in collaboration with other cultural and governmental entities, organized in Turin a major multimedia exhibition about Pavese. In the catalog of the show, Cesare Pavese e la “sua” Torino [฀฀283฀฀] (Turin: Lindau, 2007), the editors, Mariarosa Masoero and giuseppe Zaccaria, give specific sources for each image in the catalog, images they selected from the hundreds projected as slides or as parts of filmstrips at the exhibition. I am particularly grateful to Professor Masoero for arranging to provide me with copies of many of the projected images. Those included here are listed together with their original source information. Author. 4, 46, 47.
