Using the methodology of frontier imagology that presents itself as the most appropriate tool for critically analyzing the reciprocal representations of human communities, we will try to present the image of Italians that is reflected in the works of Slovenian literature by comparing them with images of Slovenes in Italian literature. The research will focus in particular on the period between the two wars, although in some cases the discourse will also be extended to the pre-war period to highlight the changes in perception from the time in which Trieste was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the Fascist period.
