Abstract
The essay proposes a close reading of "El Dialogo tra l’anima di Pier Luigi Farnese duca di Parma e Piacenza e Caronte nel passar la barca da questa all’altra vita" (1547-1549), mainly known in its Spanish version, on the basis of the assessment of the context of its production, its genre and its linguistic-rethoric pattern. The article also provides, in the final Appendix, the first comprehensive edition of the italian version, based on the collation of the three manuscript copies located to date.
