Abstract
[The Manzoni’s influence on the works by Ignazio Silone. The justice innaturality] The essay aims to analyse two Silone’s novels, Fontamara and The Secret of Luca, to trace how Manzoni influenced these works through images and scenes that Silone took from The Betrothed. Result is that Silone and Manzoni focused on the same subject: the ease with which man transforms the justice in legal order and, thanks to the legal formalism, for-gets virtue. Law thus becomes a mere instrument to goal exclusive interests and passions.
