New Article in Italian about Correspondence Between Ameen Rihani and Khalil Gibran (Francesco Medici)

In this article in La rivista di Arablit, Francesco Medici publishes, for the first time in the Italian language, the letters between Gibran and Rihani. They revolve around the common interest of the two in building a movement among the Lebanese and Syrians toward independence from Ottoman rule and Western colonization. The article also includes the first Italian translation of Rihani’s poem inspired by Gibran’s death, a kind of final farewell letter to his close friend.
