Abstract
The Baron of the Wood is one of Calvino's best known and acclaimed novels. Critics, however, find it very difficult to assign this work to a specific literary variety. Some scholars consider the novel to be an exemplary example of the Bildungsroman, while others firmly rule out such an affiliation. The aim of this article is to take the stand in the aforementioned discussion and to attempt to examine whether The Baron of the Wood fulfils the conditions necessary for it to be considered a Bildungsroman novel. I begin my analysis with a theoretical introduction of the term Bildungsroman and then perform a close reading of Calvino's text, focusing exclusively on the social aspect of the protagonist's maturation.
