Abstract
Visconti – always formally related to the decadent movement, whereas we suggest using the more appropriate term of decadence as it brings back within its semantic field the Nietzschean notion of artificiality – carries on a meta-linguistic experience through the aesthetic and epiphanic role of the disguise . With his last five films, Visconti hides behind his aesthetics of artifice showing his “true” deceiving self.
