The ADILLI 1985-2025:40 years of Italian studies in Argentina
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: ADILLI, institutional memory, Argentine Italian Studies During the III Virtual Meeting of ADILLI, held at the Universidad del Salvador, Buenos Aires, on September 11–12, 2025, I was invited—in my role as a founding and life member—to give the inaugural lecture in her honor. In the first issue of Caleidoscopio, I had already published the report: “La italianistica en Argentina (1985-2024). Anotaciones para el homenaje de los 40 años de ADILLI”. The present work, based on the presentation given at that meeting, aims to continue a series recovering the institution’s history —a project I initiated in Trelew in 2009 during the Association’s 25th-anniversary celebrations— extending the timeframe to the present day. Furthermore, it incorporates visual and photographic elements more extensively, taking advantage of the possibilities offered by digital publishing. This archival series is intended to continue in future issues, drawing from the collection and classification of graphic and photographic materials. This will show the various meetings ADILLI has held throughout its 40 years of existence.

Marco Polo in Argentina
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: Marco Polo, children’s literature, adaptation, editorial mediation, rewriting This paper analyzes the incorporation of The Travels of Marco Polo into Argentine children’s literature in the first decade of the 21st century, through the study of three versions published in children’s book collections: the adaptations by Ricardo Mariño (2001), Ignacio Miller (2007) and Juan Caramiñas (2009). The research explores how a text not originally intended for children becomes part of this literary field through specific editorial operations. Drawing on the categories of adaptation, version and translation (Soriano, 1995), the study describes the modes of rewriting that enable its inclusion in children’s literature. It also examines the editorial strategies that mediate between the source text and the new young readership, based on the theoretical frameworks of Piccolini (2005) and Tosi (2019). This analysis offers a reflection on the mediation devices that allow classic texts to circulate within contemporary publishing catalogues for children.

Abyss and epiphany: inquiries into the imaginary of infinity in The Divine Comedy
type: item
description: Section: Dantedí Infinity has always been an elusive, ambiguous, and unfathomable concept. Borges considered it the corrupting element of all others. Leopardi extensively discusses the topic in his poetry and notes in the Zibaldone. However, these disturbing readings, very characteristic of Modernity, strongly contrast with medieval conceptions. So, how should we think about infinity in Dante? What exactly did the supreme poet understand, how did he conceive it? And, moreover, how to construct images of an ineffable idea? We could postulate, a priori, that in The Divine Comedy, infinity acquires multiple faces: it is a theological category to refer to divine attributes, a way of conceiving the cosmos as a whole, a moral category, and also, finally, a mathematical one. And, in a way, it implies the very essence of the poem. In this work, we will explore these multiple readings of infinity, focusing particularly on Dante’s Paradise.

Science and poetry in Dante's Commedia
type: item
description: Section: Dantedí Keywords: Dante, science and poetry, theory of relativity This article examines Dante’s natural inclination toward knowledge in Paradise. If one could set aside—an impossible task—the literary and human value of the Commedia and read it as a scientific compendium, it would readily become clear that it is a sum of knowledge from that era, with a vision so broad that many of the poet’s intuitions and observations are problematized or debated today in scientific forums around the world. The Florentine’s thirst for knowledge arises as something inherent to his thought. The poet was interested in theology, philosophy, politics, the natural sciences, medicine, alchemy, optics, physics, and astronomy. In him, that oft-quoted phrase of Terence would be fulfilled: homo sunt, humani nihil a me alienum puto. Several scientists specializing in black holes and Euclidean geometry (Stephen Hawking, Carlo Rovelli, Pavel Florensky, among others) have succumbed to his spell, seeing in his verses an avant la lettre anticipation of their own theories, and even a discipline as current as Neuroaesthetics carefully examines the effect on listeners of certain passages of his work

A manifesto and a response: one hundred years later
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: culture, intellectual/s, fascism, manifesto, Croce, Gentile One hundred years ago in Italy, with the story of the “two Manifestos”, a fundamental page in Italian political, cultural and intellectual history took place. Gentile’s Manifesto was published in the national press on 21 April 1925 after having decided to draft it during a conference of fascist intellectuals held in Bologna at the end of March. Croce’s Response, which was not intended to be a manifesto, was instead published in the pages of «il Mondo» on 1 May 1925, an anniversary that was not planned from the beginning. Gentile’s text represents a fundamental piece of fascist cultural politics and an absolutely modern conception of culture and the role of intellectuals. Croce’s text, on the other hand, although shining for its style and nobility of intentions, represents a late and losing reaction of liberalism in the face of fascism and a conservative and nineteenth-century conception of culture and the role of intellectuals. A century later, in such a different era and world, it is still useful to remember that episode.

Fascist uchronias or post-fascist dystopias?
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: Uchronia, Science-fiction, Fascism, Brizzi, Mongai This article explores the genre of uchronia, examining two uchronic Italian novels that address the theme of fascism. The first, Il fascio sulle stelle di Benito Mussolini by Massimo Mongai, analyzes the author’s meta-literary style and ability to create an alternative history that unexpectedly connects to our present. In the second, L’inattesa piega degli eventi by Enrico Brizzi, uchronia becomes a means to rewrite a history of postcolonial Italy, starting precisely from the former colonies. In both cases, we note how uchronia is not simply a genre linked to escapism, but becomes a means of critiquing contemporary Italy.

Culture and propaganda in "Il Mattino d'Italia": from its birth to the disappearance of "La Patria degli Italiani"
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: «Il Mattino d’Italia», ethnic press, Fasci all’estero, cultural symbolism, Fascist rhetoric The Italian-language press in Argentina has historically functioned as a key site for the articulation of social, ideological, and political tensions within the emigrant community. Cultural content disseminated by periodicals played an active role in shaping ideological orientations, operating as a form of symbolic production and a vehicle for consensus-building through entertainment. During the Ventennio, following years of competition for hegemony over patriotic sentiment among Italians in the Río de la Plata region, the PNF delegate in Argentina, Vittorio Valdani, promoted the establishment of a new Fascist daily, «Il Mattino d’Italia». This article examines the cultural phenomena featured in this newspaper during the 1930–1931 biennium in order to assess their role within the regime’s strategy of symbolic legitimation and the patriotic rhetoric imposed on the Italo-Argentine community.

Memorias y escrituras de la Resistencia en Italo Calvino
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: Antifascism, Resistance, Partisans, narrative, essay This article aims to explore the representations of the anti-fascist resistance of the partisans in Italo Calvino’s work, focusing on its testimonial and memorialistic form, its transpositions through autobiographical lyricism, the “pathos of distance”, its political and moral interpellations, and its semantic and stylistic constants. The corpus comprises the novel Il sentiero dei nidi di ragno, the partisan tales in Ultimo viene il corvo, the story “Flirt prima di battersi”, and a selection of articles. The aim is to reconstruct the complex process of discursivizing Calvino’s political and military experience, a process that brought together a generation of writers committed to antifascist ideals and spurred the moral and cultural reconstruction of Italy.

Un intelectual en el exilio: Mondolfo en la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: exile, university, praxis, Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UNT, philosophy Rodolfo Mondolfo, a renowned professor at the University of Bologna, was one of the signatories of the Anti-Fascist Manifesto. Racial laws excluded him from his position in 1938, leading to his decision to go into exile in Argentina. This article highlights two aspects of the period following that date: first, his exile, facilitated by the efforts of the Italian community and his integration into Argentine universities; second, the particular conditions of his presence at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the National University of Tucumán. We highlight two conditions of his teaching in Tucumán: 1. Mondolfo had already been reinstated in his position at the University of Bologna, but he had decided not to return to live in Italy. 2. The Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the UNT has not yet celebrated its tenth anniversary since its institutionalization, while the Italian scholar is already 71 years old. These conditions make his outlook on the university and university policy, his considerations on the history of philosophy and action, as well as the rigor of his teaching and intellectual output—notwithstanding his exile—founding features of the nascent faculty.

Manifiestos, proclamas, mitos: lo que el futurismo le obsequió al fascismo
type: item
description: Section: Dossier Keywords: manifest, futurism, fascism, intellectuals, myths The examination of the links between Futurism and Fascism focuses particularly on Futurism’s discursive configuration, which emerged in the first decade of the 20th century with a manifesto whose aggression did not shy away even from extermination. The patriotic and vitalist components that stand out in Futurism are evaluated both from the perspective of the diverse artistic movements that converged within it and within the framework of an Italian aesthetic system spanning from the beginning of the century to the postwar period. This approach demonstrates a degree of originality on the recovery of forgotten or archived bibliography, such as Guillermo de Torre’s Historia de las literaturas de vanguardia.

Antichi naviganti epastori erranti
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: literatura italiana, intertextualidad; contemplación de las estrellas; Giacomo Leopardi; pastor errante The reception of Italo Calvino’s novel Mr. Palomar in the Spanish-speaking context is mediated by a single translation, used across all editions, in which a reference to Giacomo Leopardi’s Night Song Of A Wandering Shepherd In Asia, originally included in the chapter The Contemplation of the Stars, is omitted. The present work highlights this loss, examining how this is not a minor or insignificant reference but rather a key allusion that positions Calvino’s work within a literary tradition concerning the topos of the contemplation of the celestial vault. The reference to the “ancient navigators” and to the “wandering shepherds” presumes two different ways of relating to the observation of the sky, in a sort of tripartite movement of which Palomar occupies the last step, that of the contemporary urban individual, for whom the contemplation of the stars no longer implies serenity and guidance but instead lack of understanding, insecurity and bewilderment.

Mafia e medianei libri di testo di italiano
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: libri di testo; mafia; italiano l2; media education I libri di testo per imparare l’italiano da lingua straniera divengono in uno spazio privilegiato per disputare le immagini associate sia alla mafia che all’antimafia, soprattutto fuori dall’Italia. Il presente contributo è mirato a riflettere criticamente sul ruolo strategico che l’industria editoriale potrebbe svolgere nella formazione di un’opinione pubblica informata in contesti come quello argentino, in cui le informazioni affidabili sulle mafie sono ancora scarse. Riscontrando che quello della mafia è un argomento piuttosto recente nelle proposte editoriali, che viene presentato come un prodotto siciliano quando non direttamente italo-statunitense, il cui racconto è principalmente elaborato attraverso il cinema, il quadro teorico-metodologico della media education risulta utile in questa sede, per analizzare il rapporto tra mafie e media che i testi veicolano.

Sciascia, a "civil" writer, and the mystery
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: Sciascia, thriller, mystery (Literature of), mafia, Twentieth-century Italian novel Sciascia was a reader of detective novels since his adolescence. Critical towards any aspects of entertainment of this gendre, he was an attentive connoisseur, disenchanted, sometimes polemical. Sciascia was interested in some great writers, among others Simenon, Dürrenmatt, Gadda. He has written essays and notes about several authors of mystery literature. These works are interesting o to understand and to explain the nature of his books and his choices as a writer. From Il Giorno della civetta [The day of the owl] (1961), to Una storia semplice [A simple story] (1989; the year of his death), Sciascia has utilized the detective story in different ways, also for critique or parody, to represent the mechanisms of the Mafia, the collusions between Mafia and power, the metamorphosis of the organized criminal activities, the involvement (in these activities) of powerful figures of the establishment. Sciascia has written narrative pages of high and relevant testimonial value, which reveal the ambiguity and the violences to justice, developed between rules and parody, truth and fiction, reality and imagination, always supported by a deep civil conscience, very far from any spirit of compromise.

El monólogo interior en Fuoco infinito. Tiepolo 1917, de Melania Mazzucco
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: Melania Mazzucco-interior monologue- biography-art Fuoco infinito. Tiepolo 1917 de Melania Mazzucco (Roma, 1966) presenta dos líneas argumentales paralelas y relacionadas: por un lado, la biografía del gran pintor barroco; y, por el otro, las peripecias de Nilo Boschini, profesor de historia del arte y encargado de la preservación del patrimonio artístico durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. Respetivamente, varía el narrador: los monólogos interiores de Nilo, orientados a la reconstrucción de la vida de Tiepolo mediante certezas, interrogantes e hipótesis, aparecen en los fragmentos titulados Cose che so di lui; mientras que sus experiencias durante el conflicto bélico son relatadas por una tercera persona en apartados intercalados. En este artículo se examinarán las características del monólogo interior en la novela, especialmente en relación con el tiempo, los deícticos y la sintaxis; así como las particularidades de su utilización como soporte de la escritura biográfica, las écfrasis y la crítica de arte.

Italian Studies in Argentina (1985-2024)
type: item
description: Section: Artículos Keywords: italianística, memoria, literatura, lengua, cultura In Argentina, many important politicians and intellectuals, aided by important developments in the editorial market, contributed during the 19th and the 20th centuries to the study and the circulation of Italian language and literature. The institutionalized study of Italian started in 1896 with the first Italian course in the Dante Alighieri Institute in Buenos Aires. At university level, the first Italian Literature course was taught at Universidad de Buenos Aires in 1898. The creation of ADILLI (Spanish for Association of Italian Language and Literature Scholars) constitutes an important landmark. This association organizes yearly scholarly exchanges, summons meetings and publishes research results. This paper attempts to commemorate these first 40 years in the history of ADILLI and reflect about its possible future.
