Abstract
The paper examines the critical reception of the poem „Santa Maria della Salute” (1909) by Laza Kostić, with the aim of reconstruct its path from the silent to the celebrated poem about which, perhaps, has been most written about in our periodical. The destiny of the poem ”Santa Maria della Salute” follows the fate of its author, so thus the paper indirectly follows the unjust marginalization of Laza Kostić in Serbian literature of the 20th century. Looking at the reviews, analytical texts and monographic publications dedicated to the poem, it is shown that many decades had to pass until literary criticism recognized the significance of it and placed it on the throne of our modern poetry. Along with the critical texts, the paper also tracks the presence of the song ”Santa Maria della Salute” in poetry anthologies and in that way confirms its value as well.
