La 'Provincia addormentata': i paesaggi vesuviani nei racconti di Michele Prisco

The geographical reading of “La provincia addormentata”, written by Michele Prisco, helps to understand the originals causes of the moral and social degradation of the neapolitan landscapes. Straight after the second world war, in fact, Prisco detected the decline’s origin of a isolated and closed world in the “sleep” of neapolitan middle classes. Therefore, through landscape and psychology studies, this theory could be a valid idea from a geographic point of view, in relation to the systemic model of the french School of Besançon and to the geometric model of T. Keisteri too.
