I barbari is a collection of essays by Italian writer Alessandro Baricco, first published in the La Repubblica in 2006.

The content of the essay is introduced by four mottoes:

  • "The fear of being overwhelmed and destroyed by barbarian hordes is as old as the history of civilization. Pictures of desertification, gardens and palaces looted by nomads in disrepair in which graze their flocks are recurrent in the literature of decadence from antiquity to the present day. "By Wolfgang Schivelbusch .
