  Abstract:  Theatre and word in Gabriele D’Annunzio. Gabriele D’Annunzio is one of the most famous writers of the Italian literature of the XIXth century and the most representative for the “fin de siècle” artistic phenomenon, known also as the decadentismo. The male characters gallery is the Italian equivalent of French or English dandys, such as Des Esseintes or Dorian Gray. The feminine figures are also contaminated with the vicious “fin de siècle”eroticism. But the reality represented in the novels is often transfigurated into the symbolic. The particularity of D’Annunzio’s writing consists in the practice of the spectacular, not only in the presence of theatre motives but also in the conception of a total work of art, which implies an esthetic participation of the reader, in an almost cathartic experience.

Keywords: Italian novel, decadentismo, eroticism, spectacular, symbolism, fin de siècle
