Temporal ontology is the reflection on the ontological status of merely past and future entities. In this paper, I aim to explain the meaning of this issue, present the main theoretical options about it, and focusing on the two main contending theories – B-eternalism and presentism – illustrate the most relevant arguments that have been formulated in favour of the one and the other theory. L'ontologia temporale è la riflessione sullo statuto ontologico delle entità meramente passate o future. In questo contributo intendo chiarire il significato di questa questione, presentare le principali opzioni teoriche che si delineano rispetto ad essa e, concentrandomi sulle due principali teorie contendenti, B-eternismo e presentismo, illustrare gli argomenti più rilevanti formulati a favore dell'una e dell'altra
