Abstract
The article describes an educational experience, which, despite the nihilistic condition of contemporary culture, has achieved significant learning outcomes in the pupils involved, because it was conducted following the narrative method in the trasmission of the contents. The didactic project aimed to promote awareness of the historical origins of the so-called Western tradition, through the comparison with the canonic poems of the classical Latin and Greek age and the medieval one. Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid and The Divine Comedy were selected to be narrated in class not only because their narration had represented a guide and a model for the self-consciousness of the peoples of reference, but also because their formative function took place successfully due to the marked aestetic value and consequent appeal of their narration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
