Abstract
The essay studies the dominant role of the return jorney in La luna e i falò, the last novel of Cesare Pavese. Thanks to this double mouvement (going and returning), present in the Pavesian work, this article demostrates that the principal characters of Pavese cannot return to their original space. They can only look at the childhood scenaries through the evocative memory. They reach in this way the lyric, tragic and elegiac poetry. It consents them to look at the melancholic world of their own past time.

Summary
Riassunto Il saggio studia il ruolo determinante che il viaggio, di partenza e di ritorno, svolge all’interno de La luna e i falò, l’ultimo romanzo di Cesare Pavese. Grazie a questo doppio movimento di andata e ritorno, presente in gran parte dell’opera pavesiana, questo lavoro mette in rilievo come il protagonista del romanzo non sarà mai in grado di ritornare nello spazio delle origini. Sarà solo capace di attivare tutta la forza evocativa della memoria, fino a raggiungere la poesia, lirica, tragica ed elegiaca, inerente all’impossibile e malinconica incapacità di ritornare nel proprio mondo passato. Palabras clave: Ritorno, origini, infanzia, memoria, passato, Pavese, La Luna e i falò. The memory system in La luna e i falò
