A brief digression through the gothic narrative work of Vernon Lee and her relationship with Italy, its landscape and its history, considered in consonance with the aesthetic concept taken up by Vernon Lee from classical mythology: that of the Genius Loci. Genius Loci which, in her short stories, becomes active, according to the canons of the Gothic tradition, as a haunted presence, obsession, epiphany of the beyond, escape from the limits of time and space.
