Il doppio sguardo sul paesaggio. D’Annunzio tra ecocritica e poesia

Abstract
The essay aims to relate the term ‘ecocriticism’ to Gabriele d’Annunzio’s literary production in defence of the historical order of the city of Rome. Beginning with his journalistic activity in the 1980s, d’Annunzio denounced the cultural mediocrity of his time, and in his novel Vergini delle rocce, d’Annunzio compares the destruction of Roman monuments to the political decadence of contemporary society. The beloved places and spaces in and around the city are charged in the Elegie romane with values and sentiments as paysage de l’âme.
