The Adriatic Sea, between the Italian and Dalmatian coasts, so close to each other, is a land of historical, economic and literary interesection. The novel Il Cerusico di mare, by the then young D'Annunzio, belongs to this universe. A text with obvious loans from Verga and Maupassant, pierced by dialogues in the Pescara dialect, and which recounts a navigation through the sea painted from the European decadence.

The poetry of Giacomo Leopardi is a synthesis of meditation and songs, a living unity of thought and expression. His most celebrated poem, L'Infinito, reaches a supreme value when it is contextualized within the framework of the poetic theory elaborated by the poet himself in the most reflexive of his works, Zibaldone, where Leopardi conceives poetry as a form of philosophy.

This article adopts a historiographical approach to analyse some key debates on world literature that played out in literary and cultural magazines during the Italian Fascist dictatorship. It shows that by hosting such debates – especially on realism – in seemingly random fashion, literary and cultural magazines in the 1920s and 1930s significantly contributed to problematise the cultural politics of a xenophobic regime regarding the arts in general, and literature in particular. To this end, I focus on journals of different sizes, political orientations and visibility to provide different theorisations of world literature. Finally, by discussing the multiple epitomes of world literature that the magazines created, I question the presence of what may be considered a coherent national, or even canonical, literature to argue that world and national literatures could co-exist when made to function not just as literary but also as a cultural mechanism.

The article focuses on the analysis of the theme of the journey in the novel Festa del ritorno and it identifies it as an overriding one with respect to others appearing in the work. It is exactly the journey of the protagonist -- cyclical in its nature -- that the whole text is centred in. In order to support his relatives, Tullio is forced to leave his hometown village of Hora, located in Calabria and inhabited by a small community of Arbëresh, and sets off to France. The article analyses the influence of the journey on the life of the main character and on his relationship with his son. The journey causes a consciousness crisis in Tullio, who becomes more and more distant from his beloved child. The protagonist, together with many other characters appearing in the works which belong to the genre of the Italian migration literature, becomes an exiled destined to live in a foreign country.
