This essay defines the temporality axis determined by the hierarchy of the family places in which the sense of time subtracts itself to the conventional linearity and adopts a fragmented reconfiguration of the duration of the existence of each family member as the time that has now become a subjective perception. Examples are drawn from works by Marcel Proust, Elsa Morante, Virginia Woolf and Nicola Lagioia.
