L’italianizzazione del mito americano nel western di Sergio Leone

Sergio Leone’s cinema proposes a critic reading of western as the quintessential “American film” by deconstructing its founding codes, transfiguring its established settings and canonical characters, dislocating its typical situations. From these actions derives a complex Weltanschauung that intertwines the European and US imaginaries, thinking over the American myth toward an Italianization that involves crucial aspects such as History, Ideology, and Identity.
