in reading. By experimenting with various consolatory strategies and oscillating between them, Boccaccio shows that there is no one universal solution to hardship and that consolation should be attuned to the sufferer’s particular circumstances. He thereby propels readers to take an active role in determining their own source of comfort, and embraces an individualistic attitude towards earthly goals that anticipates aspects of Renaissance humanism.

ABSTRACT This article explores Pia Pera’s poetics of the garden. As the first in-depth study of Pera’s work on the subject, it aims to position her as an original voice within contemporary (garden) writing and to locate garden writing in relation to current ecological, ecocritical, and environmental debates. By drawing on philosophy, aesthetics, and critical plant studies, I demonstrate how Pera’s work engages both with the aesthetic tradition of garden representation and with ecocritical concerns. In particular, I discuss how Pera establishes a close dialogue with Gilles Clément’s ‘humanist ecology’, in order to shape her ‘orto/giardino’ as a ‘planetary garden’. Through an analysis of her main garden books, I show how Pera fashions herself as a ‘scrittrice-giardiniera’ while proposing a virtuous example of care for the planet that recognises the centrality of plants in our world.

ABSTRACT L’articolo intende presentare uno studio dettagliato dell’ordine degli elementi della frase in Le menzogne della notte (1988) di Gesualdo Bufalino (1920–96). Il presente contributo disamina le modalità e le finalità che la sintassi marcata esplica all’interno del progetto romanzesco, che è caratterizzato da sperimentazione del complesso congegno narrativo e linguistico. Adottando un taglio storico-linguistico, si esaminano la posposizione del soggetto al verbo (soggetto rematico e soggetto tematico parentetico), la dislocazione a sinistra e il tema sospeso. Mediante analisi qualitative di selezionati campioni testuali, si mostrano tre funzioni-chiave della sintassi marcata utili per l’interpretazione del romanzo: i colpi di scena del novellare; la caratterizzazione degli eroi romantici e della loro lingua; la tecnica del ritratto e il tono favoloso. Lo studio rivela che l’uso della sintassi marcata è volto alla creazione di un’epopea leggendaria e favolosa, i cui eroi hanno tratti romantici e melodrammatici.

ABSTRACT Almarina di Parrella promuove una prospettiva diversa sulla dimensione spaziale di Napoli con una specifica attenzione all’isola di Nisida, costruendo in tal modo un legame fra lo spazio nissologico e le relazioni che potrebbero sorgere nella prigione minorile situata sull’isola tra due individui privi di legami di sangue ma decisi ad affidarsi a vicenda, legalmente e affettivamente, per la loro futura esistenza. L’emergere di un amore diverso da quelli convenzionalmente presentati, che nulla ha che vedere con la trasgressione o con l’orientamento di genere ma, più semplicemente riguarda un incontro di anime, illumina il funzionamento di una relazione originariamente tra insegnante e studente: è evidente che l’incontro promuove aspettative reali e vicendevoli. Le interpretazioni culturali delle isole e il loro significato simbolico e psicologico nella tradizione letteraria recente (Ortese, Ramondino, Morante) confermano questa prospettiva ermeneutica.
Almarina di Parrella对那不勒斯的空间维度提出了不同的观点，并特别关注尼西达岛，从而在尼西达岛上的青少年监狱中，两个没有血缘关系但决心在法律上和情感上相互信任的人之间建立了一种联系，为了他们未来的存在。一种不同于传统表现的爱的出现，与越轨或性别取向无关，更简单地说，与灵魂的相遇有关，揭示了教师和学生之间最初关系的运作：很明显，这种相遇促进了真实和相互的期望。在最近的文学传统中（Ortese、Ramondino、Morante）对岛屿的文化解释及其象征和心理意义证实了这种解释学的观点。

ABSTRACT This article investigates how COVID-19 has rewritten the transnational connotations of recent Italian migration to Wales, reshaping issues of home, belonging, inclusion, and participation. On the one hand, examination of the relationship with the host country analyses whether and how the early phase of the pandemic impacted on Italians’ social integration and sense of embeddedness in Welsh society. On the other, a focus is placed on the relationship with the origin country, aiming to detect whether the crisis strengthened feelings of nostalgia and a desire to ‘return home’. To this end, four main fields are considered: social relations, cultural practices, sources of information, and travel patterns. Addressing these fields, discussion assesses the practices and strategies that Italian migrants in Wales engaged with in order to maintain a connection with Italy despite the limitations and challenges posed by COVID-19.

ABSTRACT This article identifies a set of precarious, temporary, and travelling forms of commemoration that have been expressed in recent public artworks connected to Italy, and proposes them as case studies that together can enhance our understanding of how transnational memory is formed and functions across borders. These complex processes of memory-making are illustrated through a comparative analysis of Wes Anderson’s Bar Luce (2015), Thomas Hirschhorn’s Gramsci Monument (2013), and Muna Mussie’s Oblio (2021). The selected works, which together add transnational nuance to James E. Young’s concept of the ‘counter-monument’, enshrine the creativity which can reside in acts of forgetting and misremembering, in experiencing things second-hand or at a distance, and in re-materialising memory through tropes of ephemerality, portability, and dislocation.
