In November 1824 a terrible flood devastates Petersburg. The event has great echo in Europe and feeds the imagination of some Italian authors. These, close to the representatives of politics and culture of that time, provide the first reworkings of the disaster, in prose and verse. The paper examines the literary sources and the rhetorical-narrative strategies used to represent, drawing on the models of tradition (but also on the examples of Enlightenment literature), the loss of order and harmony of an ‘upside down world’.

Abstract
In November 1824 a terrible flood devastates Petersburg. The event has great echo in Europe and feeds the imagination of some Italian authors. These, close to the representatives of politics and culture of that time, provide the first reworkings of the disaster, in prose and verse. The paper examines the literary sources and the rhetorical-narrative strategies used to represent, drawing on the models of tradition (but also on the examples of Enlightenment literature), the loss of order and harmony of an ‘upside down world’.
