Abstract

This work focuses on the image of the school conveyed by literature for children and adolescents, starting with two classics of the genre, in the Italian scene of the late Nineteenth century, such as the "Avventure di Pinocchio" by Carlo Collodi and "Cuore" by Edmondo De Amicis, to arrive at the representation of this educational institution that emerges from contemporary production directed at children. Fundamental in the experience and training of each one, the school is made, through the voice of the protagonists of novels and tales of yesterday and today, with a look often irreverent, able to capture and unmask its failures and drifts.
