Abstract

The article aims to address the aesthetic reflections of Giuseppe Rovani, which focus on the story and the status of the novel. For this purpose, it is essential to make a cross-reading of the criticism of the work of Rovani in order to understand what the nodal points of the crutch and rehabilitation of Cento Anni, unanimously considered his masterpiece, were. The analysis of his theoretical positions around the Italian novel in the nineteenth century allows, therefore, to better understand what the new explorations in the narrative field will be, once the Manzoni model has been set.
