«Far sì che la carne si rifaccia “verbo”». Echi longhiani ne Il dio di Roserio.

Testori’s echoes of Longhi are explored through Il dio di Roserio (1954). Testori’s relationship with Longhi, his historical-critical work on the Lombard Caravaggesques, and Il dio di Roserio are clearly intertwined during the novel’s development, which becomes an interesting laboratory for analyzing how literature absorbs many elements of the art historian’s formal reflections and also of his style.
