The Author analyzes the letters of the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector to her family and friends, during her stay in Naples/Italy, with the aim of identifying and analyzing the writer’s impressions of the city, at that time devastated by the World War II as well as by the recent eruption of the Vesuvius. In addition, the Author deals with Clarice Lispector's contact with the wounded person, victims of war, in napolitan hospitals. The theoric model supporting this analysis is based on the feminist literary criticism with focus on the gynocritics, strand that goes back to the history of women writers, their intellectual trajectories and the various genres to which they dedicated themselves.
