Written In Italian, from 1950 to 1953, are perfectly readable and in excellent conditions with original envelopes included:
Autograph Letter Signed. Rome, May 13th 1950. One page,single-sided. On letterhead paper "Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia".
Autograph Letter Signed by Paul Oppé. Accademia Britannica, Rome, May 16th, 1950. In English. One page, double-sided.
Autograph Letter Signed. Rome, December 2nd, 1953. One page,double-sided, on letterhead paper "Università degli Studi di Roma".
This correspondence gravitates around the figure of Adolph Paul Oppé, (1878 - 1957) the English art historian, critic, art collector and museum official interested in the Italian and Roman landscapes of the middle XVIII century. He should "appreciate a visit to the " Countess' collection and talk about their common interests. The last authograph, instead, is a commercial proposal letter, for the purchase of a watercolor on canvas representing the Buonaparte family tree.
The background:
It is a period of International merit and recognition: from 1934 to 1966 Mario Praz was professor of English language and literature at the University of Rome, as a letter demonstrates. In 1935 he received the British Academy gold medalfor studies on the relationship between English and Italian literature. In 1952 Praz wins the Viareggio Prize and in 1957 the prestigious honorary degree in literature from the University of Cambridge.
Mario Praz (Rome, 1896- 1982)
Italian-born critic of art and literature, and scholar of English literature, Mario Praz is best-known as author of The Romantic Agony (1933), a comprehensive survey of the decadent, erotic and morbid themes of the European authors of the late 18th and 19th centuries.
Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci (Rome, 1885 - Marlia, 1971)
Better known as Mimì , the Italian noblewoman was an art collector, patron and nephew of Pope Leo XIII. Extremely volcanic, she was very active in the cultural field, opening numerous lounges, galleries and theaters. In 1919 she married Cecil Blumenthal, later changed to Blunt, a wealthy Jewish banker from New York, heir to an important collection of nineteenth-century French painting. His Parisian and Roman salons was frequented by artists and intellectuals of the caliber of Alberto Moravia, Mario Praz, Salvador Dalì, Paul Valery, Poulenc, Paul Claudel.

Two Typed Letters Signed (TLS) by T. S. Eliot
Located in Middletown, NY
Two one-page letters on Faber & Faber stationery, SIGNED by T. S. Eliot. The first, dated 1 December 1949 is double sided, 10 1/4 x 8 inches (266 x 204 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). The second is dated 23 August 1950, one sided, 8 x 6 7.8 inches (204 x 174 mm) in envelope 4 1/4 x 5 1/4 inches (110 x 133 mm). Typed in black and red ink, central vertical and horizontal folds, with no sign of wear. The accompanying envelopes show minor signs of wear and the back flap of the first envelope is partially torn. Fine.
These two typewritten letters were addressed to Robert Cecil Bald (1901 – 1965), an Australian scholar of English Literature, who taught at Cornell University starting in 1937 and then at the University of Chicago from 1952 to 1965. They attest to a cordial exchange between a poet and a scholar, and the rich network of contacts that Eliot had both as an author and as the long-time editorial director at Faber & Faber in London (1925-1965).
In the first letter, dated 1 December 1949 with a Cornell University address, Eliot declines an offer...
