The essay focuses on the relationship between Luigi Meneghello’s works and Le Confessioni d’un Italiano by Ippolito Nievo. Although several scholars have found similarities between the nineteenth century masterpiece and Meneghello’s works, there aren’t clear references to Nievo in his writings, except for just a mention in Confessioni. The research develops through three points of view: firstly, the investigation of Meneghello’s educational and cultural profile in regard to 19th century; secondly, an overview of correspondences between Confessioni and Meneghello’s works (such as the purpose of a truthful, anti-heroic testimony through irony), ending with a relevant example of similar scenes; thirdly a part dedicated to the edition of Confessioni from Meneghello’s library. The two volumes are important because of the year of publication, 1960, and also for annotations Meneghello wrote along their margins.
