Un capodistriano illustre: Bruno Maier, cultore e custode del patrimonio letterario triestino e istriano

The article deals with with an illustrious Capodistrian: Bruno Maier (Koper 1922-Trieste 2001), a fruitful essayist and critic, guardian of the literary heritage of Trieste and Istria. He was one of the first critics to have turned his attention to the literary production of the Italian National Community of Croatia and Slovenia. In particular, the intervention highlights that, while in the literary vision of Maier the Trieste dimension is a very consistent, rich and inexhaustible reality, the true, passionate origin of this vision is in Istria, which remains an indefectible component of the soul and intelligence of the Capodistrian scholar.
