%X P.B. Shelley¡¯s attempts at writing in Italian date to the period from late Autumn 1820 to August 1821. They consist of self-translations, loose fragments, the draft of an original verse composition, an allegorical prose piece, the review of an ¡°improvvisazione¡± on a classical subject by Tommaso Sgricci, and some more or less fragmentary letters. What is the value of these writings in relation to Shelley¡¯s works? What knowledge of Italian do they suggest? What is their expressive import? How can they be best presented in a modern edition of Shelley¡¯s works? In addressing these questions, I will suggest that these writings should be neither overvalued, nor completely ignored, and I will conclude that they have a biographical, rather than a literary, or linguistic, relevance
