Reading of the poetics of Beppe Fenoglio in relation to the philosophical and religious systems of the ancient Celts, a people who dominated the territory of Piedmont from the IV century BC to the I century AD. / A brief explanation of the history of Piedmont from prehistoric times, through Ligurian and Celtic domination, to Roman conquest and the consequent partial romanization of the territory will introduce the subject. / Certain aspects of the religion of the Celts, as described both by classical authors and modern scholars, will be examined in the context of beliefs, customs, and traditions of modern rural Piedmont using interviews (See Appendix ) conducted in Beppe Fenoglio's homeland, the Langhe. / Rural Piedmontese traditions and beliefs will be identified in the works of Fenoglio, particularly in Il partigiano Johnny and La malora, in order to describe the nexus that ties the concept of nature and the view of life and death expressed in the works with the naturalism of the ancient Celts.
