Abstract
Nel romanzo Fantasma d’amore di Mino Milani (1977) un commercialista incontra un suo vecchio amore per poi scoprire che è morta da tempo: dopo aver ricostruito la vita segreta della donna, viene costretto al suicidio dal fantasma di lei. Analizzando il romanzo alla luce del folclore contemporaneo, il saggio lo inquadra nel contesto del cosiddetto ‘gotico padano’. Inoltre, soffermandosi sul legame fra soprannaturale, leggende contemporanee e tecnologia, si propone un accostamento fra il fantasma del romanzo e il ‘tipo’ di spettro vendicativo noto nella tradizione nipponica come onryō, reso in seguito icona globale dal romanzo Ring di Koji Suzuki (1991).
In Mino Milani’s novel Fantasma d’amore (1977), an accountant meets an old girlfriend, only to discover that she has been dead for years: after reconstructing the woman’s secret life, he is forced to commit suicide by her ghost. By analysing the novel in the light of contemporary folklore, this essay frames it in the context of the so-called gotico padano. Moreover, by stressing the novel’s connection between the supernatural, contemporary legends, and technology, it compares the novel’s ghost with the ‘type’ of vengeful spectre known in Japanese tradition as onryō, later transformed into a global pop icon by Koji Suzuki’s novel Ring (1991).
