Summary/Abstract: The present contribution means to show the regeneration and the re-semantisation of the chivalry matter beginning with second half of 20th century in Italy. Without claiming to reach an exhaustive mapping of the ways in which an extinct literary genre reproposes itself at the margin of contemporary narrative, our work focuses on the following main topics: 1. from the rereading to the rewriting; 2. the Padual line of Bolardo and Ariosto between rewriting and re-visiting; 3. Ariosto and Calvino's narrative; 4. the Sicilian line between rewriting, use of quotations and intertextualisation - Gesualdo Bufalino and Andrea Camilleri.
