La drammatizzazione della storia. Uno studio del secondo Novecento attraverso i racconti del teatro di narrazione.

In the eighties of the twentieth century a particular theatrical form appeared in Italy, which is known today as teatro di narrazione (storytelling theater). The storytelling theater has among its best actors and writers those involved in telling contemporary history in order to revive the memory of past events. Marco Baliani, Marco Paolini and Ascanio Celestini are among the actors who now better represent this artistic movement. The purpose of this thesis is to show how their performances are created and spread and to analyze the relationship between historical sources and drama texts of three events in the history of Italy: Mr Aldo Moro's murder, the slaughter of the Fosse Ardeatine and the massacre of Ustica. Particular attention is devoted to the international debate between history and fiction, to the analysis of the relationship between narrators and the public opinion, between morality and politics, and to the study of patronage and economic factors of these performances.
