Passato e presente: analisi di un programma di storia in tv

Abstract

This paper analyses one of the most successful historical shows broadcasted on the Italian networks, Passato e presente. The essay focuses on how this broadcast declines historical narration and how it constructs, through the language of television, its dimension as an enunciative vector. By outlining the characteristics of its mise-en-scene and narrative, the essay demonstrates the degree of sophistication and innovation of Passato e presente in the Italian panorama, but also the persisting limitations in understanding the specificities of the audiovisual medium for the dissemination of history.
