		A letter from N. Nikolov (in Italian), 6 September, 1939, Sofia.  
		The young Bulgarian student is Salvini’s friend. His letter is a 
		passionate description of the political and cultural situation in 
		Bulgaria. The corruption and the suppression of the ruling party make it 
		difficult for the intellectuals who do not want to obey. This, together 
		with the need for a more active cultural life, makes Nikolov decide to 
		graduate from political studies in Rome. He asks his friend to help him 
		finding all the necessary papers. In conclusion Nikolov wants Salvini to 
		assess his Italian and wonders what to do in return.  |
