The contribution investigates the relationship between Meneghello’s words and the concrete reality of the world he represents, in relation to the concept of the biosphere and its manifestation throughout the work of the writer from Malo. In a similar perspective, historical and linguistic stratification represents a crucial element, charged with a profound meaning, establishing a dialogue between the present and the past which in Meneghello appears not only fundamental, but also particularly approachable when compared with the writers of his contemporaries. The singular geographical and poetic position from which Meneghello observes the world allows him to maintain substantial confidence in the expressive and cognitive abilities of the literary word as he uses it, thus overcoming the typically twentieth-century fracture between words and things.
