The book\u00a0is a collection of essays pivoted on the theme of betrayal and its representation in Italian literature, art, and cinema. Plus, it gathers a group of brilliant scholars and good friends, and the overall result is of outstanding quality, also thanks to the clever design\u00a0by Serena Pezzini and Alessandro Benassi.<\/p>\n

Illustration of the X canto of Ariosto’s Orlando furioso in the Varisco edition, Venice 1568.<\/p><\/div>\n

I published here an essay titled\u00a0Le conseguenze dell\u2019amore. Donne furiose tra Ariosto e Tasso<\/em>. I analyse the representation of Olimpia\u00a0<\/a>in Ariosto’s Orlando<\/em> furioso<\/em>; and of Armida<\/a> in Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata<\/em>, highlighting how both the characters re-enact the ancient and long-standing motive of the “abandoned woman”. I argue that within this\u00a0tradition the theme of betrayal is a device that triggers the creation of particular\u00a0textual sequences in which are represented “emotional performances”. These verbal representation of emotions evoke a range of images that cross art history and convey recurring iconographic patterns, establishing the emotional visual language that Aby Warburg\u00a0tried to map through the concept of\u00a0pathos formula.<\/em><\/p>\n
