Between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Italy, the narrative monologue emerged as an independent theatrical genre. "Passione" by Laura Curino is one of the first performance of italian narrative theatre: the essay analyzes the monologue. It is the transfigured memory of the birth of Curino's passion for the theatre, based on the techniques of oral history. The performance is characterized by the ability to relate autobiographical micro- history to the larger backdrop of national history, and by the plurality of verbal languages, both cultural, popular and dialect. The monologue shows a large quotation from Mistero buffo by Dario Fo and Franca Rame. Curino indicates some of the roots of her experience in the long tradition of italian actor- writers.

Abstract
Between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Italy, the narrative monologue emerged as an independent theatrical genre. "Passione" by Laura Curino is one of the first performance of italian narrative theatre: the essay analyzes the monologue. It is the transfigured memory of the birth of Curino's passion for the theatre, based on the techniques of oral history. The performance is characterized by the ability to relate autobiographical micro- history to the larger backdrop of national history, and by the plurality of verbal languages, both cultural, popular and dialect. The monologue shows a large quotation from Mistero buffo by Dario Fo and Franca Rame. Curino indicates some of the roots of her experience in the long tradition of italian actor- writers.
