Pirandellismul şi Eduardismul: două poetici diferite?
Pirandello and Eduardo: two different poetics?

Summary/Abstract: The author brings out observations about Pirandello’s influence on Eduardo De Filippo’s works, using such terms as pirandellism and eduardism, both theatrical poetics that appeared in the Italian theater of the twentieth century. In order to see the similarities and differences between them, the author analyzed the comedies by Eduardo De Filippo „Questi fantasmi” and „La grande magia”. In the writings of Giorgio Pullini we find out that Eduardo was influenced by Pirandello, but from pirandellian dialectics, in the works of Eduardo we find invented dialogues. However, the subject matter is built in a different way, it is further developed, it is closer to the present than to the one of contradictions between the human essence and people’s knowledge of reality. Eduardo’s drama is not based on the impossibility to find a common language between two realities that have lost logical links, but in the lack of possibilities to find common trust between two realities that have lost their moral relations.
