Ippolito Nievo was a highly perceptive reader of Giacomo Leopardi’s works. This article focuses in particular on Nievo’s interpretation of the Operetti morali, as emerges in two of Nievo’s dialogues from 1857 housed in the Bastogi collection in Livorno: the Dialogo della Filosofia con un nuovo stampo d’avaro [Dialogue between Philosophy and a new kind of miser], which gained notoriety following its publication in 1858, and the Dialogo della Chimica colla Natura Umana [Dialogue between Chemistry and Human Nature], which was left unpublished. A transcription of each dialogue based on the Livorno autograph is presented, together with a thematic, linguistic and stylistic analysis which highlights those textual features closely linked to Leopardi’s Operette.
