Flight and stone. The risorgimental symbolic of Tabucchi ; L'envol et la pierre. La symbolique risorgimentale de Tabucchi
Communication to the International Colloquium of Aix-en-Provence, 2011 The study of symbols at work in Piazza d'Italia and Il piccolo Naviglio shows that the mineral element represents the inertia of history, which is proud of the popular elans. Clearly, the monument of Piazza d'Italia, which is immutable despite Italy's political transformation, shows a stagnation that betrays Risorgimento's hopes, embodied by Plinio and its descendants. In Il piccolo Naviglio, the fall of Leonida shows that the severity of the bodies is essential when ideals are captured. Here we note the importance of the double narrative of the event: is the Folie of Leonida following its fall or is it the reason for it first? Is utopia the result of dissilsions of history or does it precede the principle of reality? The victory of stone on the fly is, depending on the case, pathetic or tragic. The Risorgimento is here designated within its limits, through the disabled characters who have believed in it (the boitus; the demantibulous fou). It is also the emblem of the historical dream, which, according to how it is told, belongs to the dimension of the failure or the long-awaited hope of a future flight. ; International audience ; Communication to the International Colloquium of Aix-en-Provence, 2011 The study of symbols at work in Piazza d'Italia and Il piccolo Naviglio shows that the mineral element represents the inertia of history, which is proud of the popular elans.
