Identificazione infantile, adulta e senile di Benedetto Croce nella figura di Cola Pesce
Keywords:
Cola Pesce, Benedetto Croce, Napoli, Legend, Identification
Abstract
This essay offers a critical reading on Cola Pesce’s legend, a tale told by Benedetto Croce on several occasions from 1885 to 1915 and taken from oral sources, written texts – including the seventeenth-century Spanish Relación – and the same topography of the city of Naples, as it appears in a bas-relief in Sedile di Porto. Croce’s progressive infantile, adult and senile identification with the mythical diver’s figure emerges. The identification is also confirmed by a chorus of critical voices, including Giuseppe Pitrè’s, scholar of proverbs and legends, and Carlo Levi’s, writer and painter.Downloads
