Gradiva is one of the oldest journals of Italian poetry, and is particularly devoted to the study and promotion of contemporary literature. Addressed to an international audience, it publishes texts by Italian poets (with or without accompanying English translations), or of Italian descent, as well as essays, notes, translations, reviews, and interviews. Beyond its regular sections, with original poems and critical contributions, it includes special sections developed by scholars and poets. Among the latest features of the journal is a ?Fototeca?, a photographic archive documenting the most important events of the Italian poetical scene.
