A central issue of the science of complex systems is the quantitative
characterization of complexity. In the present work we address this issue by
resorting to information geometry. Actually we propose a constructive way to
associate to a - in principle any - network a differentiable object (a
Riemannian manifold) whose volume is used to define an entropy. The
effectiveness of the latter to measure networks complexity is successfully
proved through its capability of detecting a classical phase transition
occurring in both random graphs and scale--free networks, as well as of
characterizing small Exponential random graphs, Configuration Models and real
networks.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
