    openI libri di lettura possono essere un utile strumento per valutare l’ampiezza e la consistenza dell’offerta formativa erogata nella scuola primaria. Al loro interno, talvolta, risulta carente l’attenzione che viene dedicata a scrittori di assoluto rilievo nel panorama letterario nazionale. È il caso, questo, di Mario Rigoni Stern. Nonostante il notevole successo di critica e pubblico riscosso in vita, l’opera dell’autore veneto non ha mai trovato piena affermazione nell’ambito delle proposte dedicate agli alunni del primo ciclo di istruzione. Se fino alla metà degli anni Novanta, infatti, soltanto il suo romanzo più noto, “Il sergente nella neve”, trovava collocazione nei testi scolastici, oggi il nome dello scrittore è scomparso quasi del tutto da questo scenario editoriale. Partendo dalla ricostruzione del quadro storico dell’ultimo mezzo secolo, che ha visto un progressivo abbandono dell’opera rigoniana nella scuola primaria, il presente lavoro si prefigge di conseguire un duplice scopo: da una parte, comprendere quale sia il grado di familiarità degli insegnanti di oggi con l’opera di Rigoni Stern; dall’altra, porre enfasi sulle specifiche peculiarità narrative che rendono questo autore adatto all’esperienza letteraria dei bambini. Nello specifico, la ricostruzione del quadro storico avverrà attraverso l’analisi dei più diffusi libri di lettura che, nel corso dei decenni, sono stati adottati nella scuola primaria italiana. La notorietà dello scrittore presso la vasta popolazione degli insegnanti di oggi, invece, sarà valutata ricorrendo alla somministrazione di opportuni questionari. Le caratteristiche che rendono le opere in questione fruibili da parte dei bambini, infine, verranno messe in luce con appropriati rimandi alla variegata produzione di Rigoni Stern. In conclusione, saranno presentate e discusse ipotetiche strategie di intervento che potrebbero, da un lato, favorire il potenziamento del patrimonio di conoscenze degli insegnanti in un’ottica di formazione continua e, dall’altro, stimolare negli alunni della scuola primaria la curiosità verso testimoni preziosi della nostra cultura.The reading books can be a useful tool for assessing the breadth and consistence of the educational offer provided at primary school. Sometimes, within them, very little attention is paid to authors of absolute prominence in the national literary landscape. That’s exactly what happened to Mario Rigoni Stern. Although he obtains critical and public success when he was alive, his work has never found full affirmation in the context of proposals aimed at primary school pupils. If until the mid-1990s only his best-known novel, “The Sergeant in the Snow”, found a place in the primary school textbooks, currently his name has almost completely disappeared from this specific publishing scenario. Starting from the reconstruction of the last half century historical framework concerning the gradual abandonment of the Rigoni Stern’s work, this dissertation is aimed to achieve a dual purpose. On one hand, the goal is to gain insight into how much primary school teachers are familiar with Mario Rigoni Stern’s work. On the other hand, the aim is to emphasize those narrative features that make this author suitable for being read by children. More precisely, the reconstruction of historical framework will take place through the analysis of the most popular reading books which, over the decades, have been adopted at Italian primary school. The degree of teachers’ familiarity with our author, instead, will be assessed through the administration of appropriate questionnaires. Lastly, in order to highlight the appropriateness of Rigoni Stern novels for reading at the primary school, a brief compendium of some significant excerpts from his work will be presented. Finally, the very last part of this thesis will be focused on some hypothetical strategies for improving the strength of teachers continuing education processes. These strategies, if properly designed, can stimulate pupils’ curiosity about valuable personalities of our culture

    "Il Sergente" di Marco Paolini quale adattamento scenico del romanzo di Mario Rigoni Stern

    Il Sergente by Marco Paolini as a theatre adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern This paper is an analysis of a monodrama by Paolini, Il Sergente, which is an adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern published in 1953. Comparing a fragment of the novel with a fragment of the monodrama text, and on the basis of other source materials for example the film about Paolini’s interview with Rigoni Stern, we can prove that the adaptation was a synthesis of the author of the novel’s original message. This synthesis is partly characterised by detaching the main character’s personal experience from the historical context of World War II, in this case the Italian Fascist attack on the Soviet Union. In this way Paolini transformed entire paragraphs of the novel into “winged words” carrying a global moral message against the war and against the use of violence as a solution to conflicts.Il Sergente by Marco Paolini as a theatre adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern This paper is an analysis of a monodrama by Paolini, Il Sergente, which is an adaptation of a novel by Mario Rigoni Stern published in 1953.
