Il “finale” dei Fasti. Un caso di semantizzazione dell’incompiuto

This paper deals with the hypothesis, suggested by several critics from the early Nineties onward, that Ovid’s Fasti is a complete poem in six books. This hypothesis is examined against the backdrop of contemporary critical interpretations and creative rewritings of Ovidian poetry, with a particular focus on critical works focused on the fragmentary and heterogeneous nature of the Fasti.
