I personaggi di Pirandello e di Baricco in cerca d’identità in un mondo in crisi
Pirandello and Baricco’s Characters in Search of Identity in a World in Crisis

Summary/Abstract: The present paper is a parallelism between Pirandello’s Six characters in search of an Author and Baricco’s The Young Bride. The two works were both created at the beginning of their century and they are a very good illustration and an accurate mirror of their times. Pirandello is obsessed with dichotomy between life and form, between essence and appearance in life and in arts. Baricco is obsessed with storytelling. Their characters are born as an outburst of their obsessions and they try to show us who we really are.
