Description: This comparative study highlights the convergence of the political, social and cultural situation of two ethnic entities remote in time, although indissolubly linked: archaic Greece and remanent Italy after the fall of Rome. Moved both by the retrospective appetite for a recovered unity, they offer to the West a superabundant flowering of works of art that sum up two pivots: the Greek tragedy and the Italian melodrama. It is precisely to the development of the latter that this work is attached, from the origins to the shores of modernity.
