Abstract

The contribution aims to analyse how Dario Fo used to adapt his narrative qualities by modifying the modes of narration in the transition from his most congenial register, that is the specifically theatrical one, to that of the novel. The present study focuses on the novelistic writings, as well as on other types of prose texts, and their unpublished preparatory notes, mainly on historical subjects, in order to highlight the similarities and differences with the theatrical texts related to them by theme or specific subject. It is also intended to compare the methodological approach preferred for the writing of prose with the one usually used by the author for the theatre.
