Django 2.1.3 Error: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

I am trying to develop a website with Django 2.1.3 and python 3.7.1 When I go to the homepage I get this error:

TypeError at / __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Here are some details about the code I write:

    Exception Type: TypeError at /
    Exception Value: __init__() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

core/models.py

This is just one table on DB:

from django.db import models


class Evento(models.Model):
    titolo_evento = models.CharField(max_length=30)
    data_inizio = models.DateTimeField()
    data_fine = models.DateTimeField()

    def __str__(self):
        return self.titolo_evento

    class Meta:
        verbose_name = 'Evento'
        verbose_name_plural = 'Eventi'

core/views.py

Here I want to see the DB "Eventi" on the homepage only if the user is authenticated, i think the mistake is here, but i don't know where:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from .models import Evento
from django.views.generic.list import ListView


@login_required
class HomeView(ListView):
    queryset = Evento.objects.all()
    template_name = 'core/homepage.html'
    context_object_name = 'lista_eventi'

core/urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views


urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.HomeView, name='homepage'),
    ]

urls.py(project)

  from django.contrib import admin
    from django.urls import path, include
    
    urlpatterns = [
        path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
        path('', include('core.urls')),
        path('accounts/', include('django.contrib.auth.urls'))
    ]

You need to use as_view() at the end of class-based views when declaring in the URLs. Like this:

path('', views.HomeView.as_view(), name='homepage'),

In `urls.py replace by this path-code:

path(' ', views.HomeView.as_view(), name='homepage'),


from django.urls import path
from . import views
 
urlpatterns = [
     path(' ', views.HomeView.as_view(), name='homepage'),
]

path('', views.HomeView.as_view(), name='homepage'),

Also, when using login_required decorator, you need to use it on dispatch method of CBV:

from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.utils.decorators import method_decorator

class HomeView(ListView):

    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(HomeView, self).dispatch(*args, **kwargs)
