To the Vyacheslav Ivanov's poetic hagiology (from the travel notes of philologist)

The note is a comment on a previously unexplained fragment of an important text for the biography of Vyacheslav Ivanov. It is a letter to his son and daughter with a story about the first acquaintance with the city, where the poet will spend several years working at the Collegio Borromeo. The plot which would seem to be local is closely connected with the main “theme of life” of the poet and thinker - culture as memory.
