This is a confidential autograph letter signed by the italian editor, valentino bompiani (ascoli piceno, 1898 - milan, 1992) to an unknown recipient. Undated. Around 1930s. In italian. One page-single-sided. On letterhead paper ''valentino bmpiani and c. S. A.'' '' editori dell'almanacco letterario''. In very good conditions, except minor aging signs. Completely readable. Very intimate letter, in which bompiani reveals the precarious health state of his father and asks for a diagnosis. The background: it is 1929. After having been arnoldo mondadori's secretary and director of unitas, valentino bompiani founded his publishing house, famus for the ''books chosen to serve the panorama of our time''. The headquarters are in milan, in via durini 24. The series gives voice to the most diverse ideologies, starting with the americans ford and roosevelt to get to hitler: in private life (1973) bompiani recalls that it was a jewish professor, angelo treves, who proposed him to translate mein kampf with this motivation: '' we must make known who hitler is. '' moreover, in 1932 the publisher had published theodor heuss's hitler, a staunch opponent of nazism and the first president of postwar germany. After promoting the almanacs of the mondadori and unitas publishing houses, bompiani started his own literary almanac: the first series came out from 1930 to 1942 in the form of an annual publication dedicated to current cultural themes. In the editorial committee with valentino bompiani there are cesare zavattini, bruno munari, ugo dèttore and many others among the most significant literary voices of that time. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
