THE REPPRESENTATION OF FEMINICIDE IN ITALIAN LITERATURE. THE CASE OF ISOLINA BY DACIA MARAINI

Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes femicide in Italian literature, examining the transformations in the representation of violence against women and their social position from Roman times to the 20th century. It aims to outline the different literary contexts and highlight how the female figure shifted from a passive narrative role in ancient and medieval texts to a participatory role in subsequent periods. A specific focus will be on Dacia Maraini's novel Isolina, with the aim of highlighting how Maraini restores voice and dignity to a victim of femicide through a style that combines documentary elements with imaginative reconstruction, and a measured yet intense language, transforming writing into a tool of ethical and social commitment.
