Inside the egg is enclosed the existence of the human being, made of emotions, feelings, ways of living. When this egg is drunk, by making a small hole in its surface, all that remains is a whole but empty and insignificant shell, which can remain a pure exterior, be crushed in the hands or thrown away. Lina Grossi, in her book Il guscio delle uova, explores Luigi Pirandello’s narrative universe through the flavors, smells and foods that run through his work, an unusual but fascinating way to investigate the existential dimension of his characters and delve, with gusto, into the game of life.


Lina Grossi deals with the assessment of learning in the European context; she has carried out research, training and teaching activities and is the author of numerous articles and essays published in specialized journals, monographs and school texts.
