Abstract
[Autom. eng. transl.] The paper carries out a critical-stylistic analysis of the war chronotope of Salvatore Quasimodo's collection Giorno dopo giorno (1947), which generally coincides with a city in Northern Italy hit by bombings in the last two years of the conflict, but also contains within it a number of specific chronotopes (convent, courtyard, garden, loggia, street...) with a metaphorical and symbolic value. Quasimodo also starts from the hic et nunc of historical reality, but transcends it, because he imagines, dreams and hopes for another reality, vague and indeterminate from a chronotopic point of view, and because, at the same time, he reconnects the chronotopically identifiable and detected war reality to the constants of the human soul (always inclined to aggression), which unfold in a cosmic time.
