The essay describes and analyzes the way the two authors, the Italian Giacomo Leopardi and the Greek Nikos Κazarιtzakis, presented and dealt with the figure of Christopher Columbus in their works. Starting from the theoretical standpoint of the historian Eric J. Leed on travel and its formative effects, the text tries to outline the Genoese navigator's evolution throughout the oeuvre of the two authors. Finally, the essay undertakes a parallel reading of the works, pointing on various elements of the poetics of the two authors which somehow seem to be deeply related to the European Romanticism of the 19th century, to otherwise diverging from it.
