Abstract
The essay reconstructs the relationship between Gabriele d’Annunzio and Olga Ferraguti Treves, the wife of the painter Arnaldo Ferraguti, through the unpublished letters sent by the woman to the writer. It is a relationship known so far only in its ‘public’ image, but the discovery of a hidden collection of letters in the Vittoriale archives allow it to be rewritten from a secret side, that of an intense, albeit fleeting, love story. In this sense the documents lead to redefining interesting details of d’Annunzio’s biography in the years 1902‑03. A short anthology of the letters in question is published in the appendix.
