With an investigation into the landscapes and environments – real, topical, imaginary, recalled and traversed by Propertius’ elegies – the contributors focus on the poet’s complex relationship not only with the images of the literary tradition and with those of artistic culture, but also with the images Rome, Italy and the Mediterranean offered him in his days. This results in the outlines of an original ‘imaginary’ in which the power of personal creation has given Assisi, Rome and the Empire a form going beyond the limits of time and space.
