Sažetak
The paper presents one of Dino Buzzati’s Christmas stories as didactic material for teaching Italian language and culture at the university level and at the upper levels of secondary school education (levels B1-B2). It is the story Troppo Natale, which was published for the first time on the 25th of December 1959 in Corriere della Sera and in which the author, in an original way, uses the form of a fable and the form of a newspaper article in speaking about both a historical and contemporary Christmas. Situated in the period of the Italian economic boom of the 1960s, it talks about the true spirit of Christmas that has been lost in today’s consumerist society. Following the theory of the three phases of perception, the phases of globality, analysis and synthesis, together with the introductory phase of motivation, the article offers some possibilities for the exploration of this Christmas tale for the purpose of learning Italian grammar and vocabulary, as well as the development of the language skills of comprehension, writing, speaking and critical thinking.
