Summary/Abstract: The article aims at analyzing the idyll Adda by Alessandro Manzoni, one of the greatest representatives of the Italian Romanticism. The Adda is one of the early, neoclassical works of Manzoni. The young author presents the monologue of the nymph Adda, the goddess of the river of the same name, who invites to her humble kingdom the poet Vincenzo Monti, born on the banks of the great Po. The rivers Adda and Po are presented in the Manzoni’s idyll as the places of the literary memory.
