La giornata d’uno scrutatore is a fundamental text in Italo Calvino’s itinerary. It marks a divide between a before and an after. In fact, La giornata is placed between the fairytale Calvino and the ‘cosmicomic’ Calvino as a decisive and scandalous encounter with the reality of the body and with the texts of Scripture, in a strong and almost unthinkable nexus, which makes La giornata d’uno scrutatore a Calvinian unicum. To highlight the connection between the call of the body and the Bible is the task of this essay.

Abstract

La giornata d’uno scrutatore is a fundamental text in Italo Calvino’s itinerary. It marks a divide between a before and an after. In fact, La giornata is placed between the fairytale Calvino and the ‘cosmicomic’ Calvino as a decisive and scandalous encounter with the reality of the body and with the texts of Scripture, in a strong and almost unthinkable nexus, which makes La giornata d’uno scrutatore a Calvinian unicum. To highlight the connection between the call of the body and the Bible is the task of this essay.
