Aspects of the body are important in Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain. Corporality, sensuality and biology are directly related to the motif of death in the novel. The physical aspect of death connects the triviality balancing on the edge of comedy with an unsettling aura of a fairy tale. In the isolated conditions of Berghof, Hans Castorp followed his instincts. In Davos, the reserved member of the bourgeoisie collided with an irrational and yet strictly material side of existence. The coalescence of life and death, the gradual revealing of all aspects of corporality goaded Hans Castorp into deepening his knowledge of the structure of the body, accepting obscene behaviour and advancing a p…

Ebraismo, identità e memoria. Quattro scene dalle vita di Arnold Schoenberg (1874-1951)
2020
Il saggio ricostruisce il percorso di riappropriazione dell'identità ebraica di Arnold Schoenberg, facendo riferimento - in modo particolare - agli eventi che hanno determinato la conversione all'ebraismo, agli scritti politici del 1933-38, all'epistolario con Thomas Mann durante l'esilio negli Stati Uniti e alla genesi e concezione poetica e musicale di A survivor from Warsaw op. 46 (1947). The essay reconstructs the path of re-appropriation of Arnold Schoenberg's Jewish identity, referring - in particular - to the events that led to the conversion to Judaism, to the political writings of 1933-38, to the correspondence with Thomas Mann during the exile in the United States and the genesis …

«Ich kann Nietzsche nicht böse sein, weil er mir meine Deutschen verdorben hat…». Thomas Mann lettore della Geburt der Tragödie
2022
The paper proposes an analysis of the reception of Nietzsche’s Die Geburt der Tragödie in Thomas Mann, with particular attention to the essay (1947) dedicated to the philosopher and to Doktor Faustus. The novel is read as an example of productive reception: Nietzsche’s categories of Apollonian and Dionysian, and even more so the idea of a rebirth of the great tragic art, become narrative cues that animate the entire story. The Doktor Faustus does not limit itself to parodying particular concepts of the Birth of Tragedy, but ends up presenting itself as a captivating ‘instruction manual’ for a correct reading of Nietzsche’s work.
Giuseppe e i suoi fratelli: la ritraduzione come forma di competizione
2023
The article reconstructs the history of the Italian retranslation of Thomas Mann’s "Joseph und seine Brüder". Although Mondadori already published the work (four volumes from 1933 to 1948), shortly after the death of the first translator, the retranslation of the entire tetralogy was commissioned. Based on the letters between the publisher, the author and the new translator, the paper tries to shed light on an unusual case of retranslation, where the rules that generally determine its necessity do not seem to be applicable.
"Deutschlands ganze Tugend und Schoenheit entfaltet sich erst im Kriege". I "Pensieri di guerra" di Thomas Mann
2015
«Deutschlands ganze Tugend und Schönheit entfaltet sich erst im Kriege». Thomas Mann’s Thoughts in Wartime by Francesca Tucci Thomas Mann’s writings of a journalistic nature, produced on the day following the outbreak of the conflict, provide one of the most significant cross-sections of “Culture in wartime”. These writings are remarkably topical, and, as regards analogy of tone and theme, they are in perfect accordance with the militarist output of the time. However, a more profound level of signification can be traced in these writings, and this allows the original nucleus of specifically Mannian themes, bound with a double-knot to the sphere of Art, to shine through as a constant presenc…
