Course Title: Manzoni and the realism of representation: “I Promessi Sposi” and the choice of the novel.
The course aims to deepen the knowledge of the path through which in the nineteenth century the novel is becoming established in Italy. In addition, a reading of the "Promessi Sposi" will be offered which, looking at the Caravaggio experience, captures the figurative tendency of an imagination that has as its objective the realism of representation.
