The study examines the role of author-edited school anthologies in reshaping the Italian literary canon of the twentieth century. Through works created for schools by writers such as Alba de Céspedes, Maria Bellonci, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Natalia Ginzburg, and Leonardo Sciascia, the essay shows that textbooks are never neutral tools, but rather reflect specific cultural, ideological, and pedagogical choices. These anthologies are presented as instruments capable of shaping students’ critical thinking, broadening the traditional canon, and connecting literature with contemporary social and civic issues.

Abstract
The study examines the role of author-edited school anthologies in reshaping the Italian literary canon of the twentieth century. Through works created for schools by writers such as Alba de Céspedes, Maria Bellonci, Italo Calvino, Franco Fortini, Natalia Ginzburg, and Leonardo Sciascia, the essay shows that textbooks are never neutral tools, but rather reflect specific cultural, ideological, and pedagogical choices. These anthologies are presented as instruments capable of shaping students’ critical thinking, broadening the traditional canon, and connecting literature with contemporary social and civic issues.
