Abstract
The intertwining of law and literature in the Italian tradition constitutes the subject of the present issue of Forum Italicum. The volume is divided into a first section of scholarly essays and a second section of dialogues between the editor of the volume and Italian authors and one publisher whose works are imbued with legal elements. An analysis of recent judiciary events through the lens of a literary mindset ends the work. This introduction to the volume starts by bringing examples of the presence of the legal discourse in Italian literary texts. Then, it offers the editor’s view on the relationship between the two disciplines. As the author of this introduction sees it, law and literature are ontologically different disciplines, no matter how much they intersect and cross-fertilize each other. Commented synopsis of the essays and dialogues will conclude this introduction.
