The volume aims at offering an overview of the immense popularity of Sienkiewicz’s Quo vadis in Italy. At the turn of the 19th century, the novel was among the readership’s favourites; it later made it to the school canon and boasted the status of young adults’ beloved reading for a long time to follow. Also multiple screen adaptations of the novel gained enormous success. The work proved so attractive to Italians not only because its action is set in Rome, but also because its most famous adaptations were filmed in the Eternal City (Guazzoni 1912, D’Annunzio 1925, LeRoy 1951, RAI series 1985).

Abstract
The volume aims at offering an overview of the immense popularity of Sienkiewicz’s Quo vadis in Italy. At the turn of the 19th century, the novel was among the readership’s favourites; it later made it to the school canon and boasted the status of young adults’ beloved reading for a long time to follow. Also multiple screen adaptations of the novel gained enormous success. The work proved so attractive to Italians not only because its action is set in Rome, but also because its most famous adaptations were filmed in the Eternal City (Guazzoni 1912, D’Annunzio 1925, LeRoy 1951, RAI series 1985).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
