Summary:The paper draws a historical portrait of literary satire in Italy from 1830 up to the achievement of Italian unification. Through four paragraphs, I will discuss Carlo Bini’s gloomy reinterpretation of Sterne’s style; Giacomo Leopardi’s Neapolitan satirical experience during his last years of life; Giuseppe Giusti’s “Scherzi”; and the connection between humor and satire in Milan during the ten years before the unification.
