Il munno nuovo di Eduardo De Filippo / Eduardo De Filippo i jego tłumaczenie burzy Williama Szekspira

During the second half of the twentieth century William Shakespeare’s plays are widely translated into Italian and performed in Italian theatres. This paper focuses on the translation into seventeenth-century Neapolitan language of The Tempest made by Eduardo De Filippo in 1983 (for the Einaudi’s series Scrittori tradotti da scrittori – Writers translated by writers), analyzing the reasons and the steps that led to the passage of Shakespeare’s masterpiece from the English tradition to that of Naples.
