Ci rivedremo a Filippi e l'ombra di Banco. Due modi di dire di ascendenza shakespeariana

The work aims at an analysis of the origin and crystallization so to speak of an expression of Shakespearean ancestry, Ci rivedremo a Filippi and l'Ombra di Banco. The investigation starts with the reading of English texts and continues with the examination of Italian translations; it traces the roots of the saying in the language of use through the consultation of literary and journalistic documentation; finally, it demonstrates its obsolescence starting from the XXI century and analyzes the contemporary reformulations, through the substitution of the name Banco and the noun Filippi with other words, by the examination of the archives of some national newspapers and literary texts.
