Pirandello’s funerals

March 22, 2018 By Rachael Allen

Each of the authors’ sites we’ve visited over the trip have memorialized their legacy in a different way. While Lampedusa’s home has become a guided tour and residential space and Sciascia’s hometown a host of his museum and statue, Pirandello’s home had been turned into a museum and a space for his tomb. Pirandello, the master of the school of thought that life just puts us into all these different forms, we can never truly be ourselves unless we go “crazy,” asked for a no-frills funeral—turns out he got three funerals and an abstract tomb/memorial in the backyard of his former house, which now displays all his documents, manuscripts, and family’s paintings.
