The Anthropocene Narration in Post-Pandemic Italy: «Canto degli alberi» and «Siccità». New expedients for Communicating the Ecological Crisis

Abstract

In the perspective of narrative solutions on the effects of the Anthropocene, the article intends to investigate how the debate on climate change has been transformed since the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the Italian context, it is intended to explore the interconnection between climate change narratives and the pandemic in works such as Antonio Moresco’s Canto degli alberi (2020) and Paolo Virzì’s Siccità (2022).
