The aim of the article is to present the issue of reception of Ugo Foscolo’s works in Poland. A particular attention is paid to the multipart article in Kłosy from 1872 (No. 374–386) devoted to the Italian artist in connection with the transfer of the poet’s remains – many years after his death in England in 1827 – to the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence in 1871. The paper discusses the strategies adopted in the description of elements of the poet’s biography, including a sentimental key related to the figure of Quirina Mocenni Magiotti, an economic key and a moralizing key. Emphasizing the experience of emigration and compulsory uprooting of the Italian poet from the family land places this special periodical return from beyond the grave in a new context determined by the situation in Poland and the resulting condition of artists forced to emigrate. The analysis also involves unique Polish translations of three of the most important Foscol’s sonnets (*** [Solcata ho fronte]; “In morte del fratello Giovanni”; “A Zacinto”) included within the frame of the article in Kłosy.
