Nowadays, there are not comprehensive studies on the idioms used by Pier Paolo Pasolini in his vast literary and non-fiction production. There is only one essay, although rich in data and starting points, on a proverb cited in an article published in the weekly «Il mondo» in 1975 (Rondinelli 2017). This paper, therefore, essentially has three objectives: 1) to trace the idioms used by the Emilian writer, also referring to other interesting phraseology for the purposes of the research; 2) to provide information on the identified idioms, retracing the most significant elements of their history; 3) to identify the clues that explain their use in Pasolini.

Taking into account In Patagonia (1977) and the critical debate around it, this paper analyses how Bruce Chatwin changed the literary representation of places, undermining the traditional dichotomy between "truth" and "fiction", and why the poetics of "Chatwinesque"--a term coined by his editor Susannah Clapp--became paradigmatic for contemporary non-fiction narrative [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper claims to reflect upon some critical essays in which Gianni Celati deals with the issues of vision, perception, and literary description of the space. Through the analysis of some texts where Celati refers to painting and sculpture (particularly Alberto Giacometti's works), it will emerge the author's thought about art and the characteristics of his non-fiction writing will be highlighted as well.

Further expanding an analysis previously made by the same author, this essay addresses the analysis of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact in a global perspective and adds new evidence on the factors that influenced Mussolini's and Japanese Government's decision to promote the Nazi-Soviet Peace Feelers during the World War II.
