"La ricerca letteraria di Vitaliano Trevisan"

This article tries to outline the evolution of Vitaliano Trevisan’s writing from the beginning in 1995 to the last posthumous work Black Tulips. The focus is on how, and why, Trevisan began writing, and subsequently, on why and how he changed his approach to literature when, after achieving success as a writer (I quindicimila passi) and actor (Primo amore), Trevisan decided to transition from fiction writing to using literature as a research instrument. The article also attempts to explain how, contrary to expectations in such a trend, Trevisan’s masterpiece (the book Works) finally brought him closer than ever before to the genre of the novel. The analysis primarily draws from sources and models, examining style, rhythm, and syntactic aspects in Trevisan’s writing.
