Abstract
«So finally, what will History give us? just events which are, so to speak, known only from the outside». With this observation, Alessandro Manzoni was trying to make a possible theoretical conciliation between invention and reality, literature and history. From that moment, an enigmatic tension between fiction and diction was the subject of intense and critical reflection in these two disciplines, from which emerged intact the storytelling strength of narrative strategies.
