The purpose of the article is to illustrate the complexity of identitary dilemmas experienced by Stefano Marcovich, the autobiographical protagonist of Fulvio Tomizza’s novel La città di Miriam. The research concentrates on analysing the nomadic aspects of Stefano’s personality, using Rosi Braidotti’s concept of nomadic subjects with a particular focus given to some creative strategies of re-location used by those subjects in their continuous flow between identities. Stefano, an Istrian refugee, is married to a Triestine girl named Miriam to whom he is unable to be faithful. The study of a long series of his extramarital affairs shows that his “erotic nomadism” is strictly connected to the identitary crisis of a “rootless being”.
