Abstract
Morgana, the most acclaimed fairy queen in the Arthurian tradition, assumes the role of Fortune in Boiardo’s epic poem. Identifying her as such enables the author to use the episodes in which she appears as an opportunity to reflect on various key themes in the medieval and Renaissance periods, e.g. the relation between man and his possessions or the contrast between Fortune and Virtue. The aim of this essay is to reconstruct the figure of Morgana in Inamoramento de Orlando, dedicating particular attention to the knight’s well-known adventure within the realm of the fairy queen, and it is from an examination of this ‘new world’ that the analysis begins.
