      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>It was at the end of the 1940s that Vasco Pratolini began to conceive the project for that so-called "Neapolitan novel" which he pursued at least until January 1952. He repeatedly presented the novel as imminent to the Italian publisher Vallecchi. However, although it was conceived on several occasions and in different ways, it was never published. Perhaps, as novels go, it was never even written. Nevertheless, that project resurfaced and even came close to realization in the text of “L'ammuina”, the treatment Pratolini wrote for Nanni Loy’s film, The four days of Naples, in the early Sixties. L’Ammuina is yet another example of the writer's activity in the world of cinema and, over fifty years after its drafting and the film’s release, it takes on a completely independent dimension with respect to its original destination, so much so that it may appear as Pratolini's "Neapolitan novel", the one the author of Cronache di poveri amanti, of Metello, Lo scialo, Allegoria e derisione, and of many other novels and stories which have brought prestige to the Italian prose, had longed for, and which now shows, albeit in another form, in the pages of L’Ammuina.</p>

        <p>È alla fine degli anni Quaranta che Vasco Pratolini inizia a concepire il progetto di quel “romanzo napoletano” che persegue almeno sino al gennaio del 1952. Ripetutamente annunciato all’editore Vallecchi come imminente, il romanzo, a più riprese e in vario modo ideato, non fu mai pubblicato e, forse, come tale, neppure scritto. Tuttavia quel progetto torna ad affiorare e perfino a realizzarsi nel testo de L’ammuina, il trattamento che Pratolini scrive, agli inizi degli anni Sessanta, per il film di Nanni Loy, Le quattro giornate di Napoli. Ulteriore esempio dell’attività dello scrittore nel mondo del cinema, L’ammuina, a distanza di oltre cinquant’anni dalla sua stesura e dall’uscita del film, assume una dimensione del tutto autonoma rispetto alla sua originaria destinazione, tanto da poter apparire come il “romanzo napoletano” di Pratolini, quello che l’autore di Cronache di poveri amanti, di Metello, Lo scialo, Allegoria e derisione, e di tanti altri romanzi e racconti che hanno dato lustro alla nostra narrativa, aveva vagheggiato e che ora ci appare, sia pure in altra forma, nelle pagine de L’ammuina.</p>
