Basile drew from the oral tradition, transcribing the folktales gathered in his travels through southern Italy, in Campania, Puglia, and, especially, Lucania. However, Basile transformed them by taking inspiration from customs and rituals of the daily life of his time for criticizing courtly society and literary tradition.<br>While metamorphosis is central to fairy tales which show a shape-shifting that is one of their dominant and characteristic wonders (Warner 2011), it is also the fairy tale itself that is subject to a continuous process of transformation and change. Many scholars have recently emphasized how it is at the intersection between fairy-tale, media, and cultural studies that it is possible to analyze and understand the symbolic space in which these tales exist and act. How have Basile\u2019s fairy tales metamorphosed in recent decades? What significant relationship exist nowadays between the\u00a0<em>Pentamerone<\/em>, cinema and ecological thought?\u00a0<br>From an ecocritical perspective, reconsidering some Italian cinematic adaptations of Basile\u2019s work such as Francesco Rosi\u2019s\u00a0<em>C\u2019era una volta\u00a0<\/em>(1967), Matteo Garrone\u2019s\u00a0<em>Il racconto dei racconti\u00a0<\/em>(2015) and Alessandro Rak\u00a0<em>et al.<\/em>\u2019s\u00a0<em>Gatta Cenerentola\u00a0<\/em>(2017), the paper will focus on Gigi Roccati\u2019s film\u00a0<em>Lucania. Land, Blood and Magic\u00a0<\/em>(2019) which expresses an ethics of\u00a0interconnectedness and interdependence between humans and Nature that appears to be fundamental for overcoming individual and collective traumas.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\"><br><strong>Alberto Baracco<\/strong> is a lecturer in film studies at the University of Basilicata.
