Abstract: The essay investigates the theme of the marshland in Pavese’s works. The imagery of the marshland has an archetypical value, that shows itself with a great evidence in the Dialoghi con Leucò. The marshland is the bloody place of the origin of the life. The memory of this place remains imprinted in the human’s mind. Pavese reuses this idea also in his novels and tales, especially in the Il diavolo sulla collina, where the marshland refers to the primordial life. This memory survives in the middle class’ world and shocks it inside.
