Abstract
The Promessi sposi cancellati per venticinque lettori e dieci appestati, made by conceptual artist Emilio Isgrò and first exposed in 2016, is both an artwork in itself and a means to understand Alessandro Manzoni’s novel in a new and unconventional way. Isgrò’s erasures of 35 copies of the 1840 edition of I promessi sposi prove to be a way of make words, and the absence of words, telling something unexpected.
