Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of the essay is to discuss the importance of the knowledge of Italian literature and culture for any studies in comparative literature. Firstly, the text shortly presents various directions of the development of the ‘Italianate fashion’ (travelogues etc). Furthermore, it describes ‘intellectual interferences’ between Italy and other countries, such as extension of petrarchism or the reception of the Divine Comedy, illustrated with two Polish lectiones Dantis.
