Raccontare il mondo: Piero Camporesi e la festa del vissuto

Abstract

The essay studies the critical method of Piero Camporesi, a philologist and anthropologist of Italian literature. Before and after the thematic turn of the late 1960s, due to his encounter with Artusi’s work, the critic shows an extraordinary ability to narrate individual experience in a precise and enjoyable way.
