Dentro «Il podere» di Federigo Tozzi: la 'tecnica del montaggio'

This article analyses a particular assembly technique used by Federigo Tozzi in composing his texts. The case of study is offered by one of his major novels, «Il podere» (1921), whose manuscript reveals how Tozzi deliberatly left some descriptives parts to be completed later. To reach this completion, the author could work en plein air, to catch a landscape as a painter would have done, otherwise re-use some pages written years before. In this second case, the pages here re-used are taken from the typescript of «Adele» (1979, posthumous), the well-known first novel never published by Tozzi but rather dis-mantled, put aside and kept in a drawer as a sort of tank of useful pages, to be re-used if necessary.
