Abstracts

EN

The article analyses Francesco Pona’s biographic novel La Messalina. Pona on the one hand presents Messalina as a personification of lust, but on the other hand emphasizes her personality, as if he understands her behavior. We are under the impression that Francesco Pona’s Messalina chooses transgression not only in order to satisfy her own instincts, but especially because she wants to escape from a social role which she cannot accept and in which she cannot live, that is the role of the wife of Emperor Claudius.
