Partindo do conceito de cidade-capital de Solà-Morales (2002) este artigo traz uma leitura das transformações sofridas pela cidade de Roma após ter sido proclamada capital da Itália em 1870, na visão da escritora e jornalista Matilde Serao no romance La conquista di Roma (A conquista de Roma) publicado em 1885. Entre outras coisas ela critica o processo de modernização da cidade que, em favor de uma equiparação às demais capitais europeias da época, sacrificava seu passado histórico e artístico para se adaptar às exigências de seu novo status. O protagonista do romance, em flâneurie pelas ruas da cidade, observa sua paisagem e descreve sua inquietação ao se adaptar à nova vida na metrópole.

Between ca. 1885 and 1927, Gabriele d’Annunzio and Matilde Serao became friends and contributed to journals in Rome and Naples; they met authors in Europe (especially in France), exchanged opinions about their works and also about their private life. She has been a vibrant constant on Vate’s experience: she gave him advices and protected his affair with Eleonora Duse, who was also Matilde’s friend. Serao’s collection of letters, kept by Fondazione Il Vittoriale degli Italiani in Gardone Riviera, explains some contours of a crucial friendship.

Food has long been considered by anthropologists to be an integral part of self-representation, culture, and identity. The present study investigates the early works of Matilde Serao, focusing on food imagery and culinary customs of the city of Naples. Serao’s fiction and journalistic production reveal a socio-anthropological approach that emphasizes food’s importance within familial and community life. By incorporating documentary and autobiographical elements, the writer offers a unique perspective on the city of Naples and its identity in the late nineteenth century. As we will see, the depiction of food as a socioanthropological construct serves as an effective means to convey important concerns regarding society and history at large, thereby contextualizing Serao’s original place within women’s writing in Italy.
