In the Faustian myth, the figures of Mefistofele and Margherita contend to Doctor Faust the role of main character of the story. To consider Mefistofele as the true main character implies a priority attention attributed to the ethical-religious matter of the myth. In Italy Arrigo Boito certainly offers to the history of the myth the most original, complex and lasting interpretation in this direction
