The contribution is aimed to draw the narrative experience of Catherine Percoto (1812-1887), close to both the Friulian poet Francesco Dall’Ongaro (from whom she received the solicitation to deal specifically rustic literature) and the Milanese literary critic Carlo Tenca (who also gave her an example of a secular and moderate realism, deployed in the direction of the commitment) within the large literary scene related to the unification of Italy. The patrioctic theme, present in the production of the writer since ’48, is followed here by the wording of some of his most famous tales, never in isolation from patterns of rustic narrative, in which through the efforts and knowledge sharing to the farmer malaise – key elements of the philanthropic sensitivity of Percoto – refers to the brutality of the war as a deterioration of an already heavy living conditions of the rural class.

Abstract
The contribution is aimed to draw the narrative experience of Catherine Percoto (1812-1887), close to both the Friulian poet Francesco Dall’Ongaro (from whom she received the solicitation to deal specifically rustic literature) and the Milanese literary critic Carlo Tenca (who also gave her an example of a secular and moderate realism, deployed in the direction of the commitment) within the large literary scene related to the unification of Italy. The patrioctic theme, present in the production of the writer since ’48, is followed here by the wording of some of his most famous tales, never in isolation from patterns of rustic narrative, in which through the efforts and knowledge sharing to the farmer malaise – key elements of the philanthropic sensitivity of Percoto – refers to the brutality of the war as a deterioration of an already heavy living conditions of the rural class.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
