(EN) The thesis deals with the theme of nature in the city in Italo Calvino's works through the different phases of his literary production: from realistic works (A Plunge into Real Estate, 1957 and Smog, 1958), to those fantasy oriented (Marcovaldo or the Seasons in the City, 1963), up to embracing the works of the seventies and the eighties (Invisible Cities, 1972 and Palomar, 1983). The goal is to analyze the themes of modernization, urbanization and industrialization and their direct or indirect impact on human and non-human worlds, highlighting the evolution of the structures, forms and procedures unfolded by the author. Key words Italo Calvino, Animals in literature, Italian literature, Literature and ecology
