Luigi Meneghello is a firmly established author in the 20th century Italian literary canon. His critical profile, however, is less stable: on the one hand, he is mainly remembered as one of the main writers of the Resistance, especially thanks to his autobiographical novel I piccoli maestri (1964); on the other hand, he is fully framed in the field of linguistic experimentalism of the 1960s-1970s, with the attention of critics focused in particular on his debut work Libera nos a malo (1963). By analysing the main literary histories adopted in Italian universities in the last three years, this essay aims to reflect on the historiographic positioning of Meneghello a hundred years after his birth.
