Abstract

This paper proposes a reflexion about modenist’s elements in the short story L’incendio di via Keplero by Carlo Emilio Gadda. The metropoli becomes a diegetic nerve centre of the narration. The article highlights the connection between the narrative technique and the avant-garde cinematographic editing of the beginning of 20th century.
