Programme

Dal ‘dolce stil novo’ ai Novissimi

The course aims to address the production of the group of poets associated with the so-called "dolce stil novo" (primarily Dante, Guido Cavalcanti, and Cino da Pistoia), reconstructing the genesis of this historiographic category and examining its plausibility. Although they never formed a formal group, these poets are united by a new and conscious conception of poetry, characterized by the exclusive adoption of the theme of love, an elitist and intellectualistic vision of the experience of love and poetic practice, a sweet style, and a strenuous pursuit of aligning words with things. This experience finds a crucial turning point in the "Vita Nova", in which Dante retrieves and reinterprets his own poetic and autobiographical experience from the point of view of a dialectical relationship with his "first friend" Guido Cavalcanti.
The last part of the course will be dedicated to the anthology "I Novissimi" (1961), which gathers the texts of a group of poets (Alfredo Giuliani, Edoardo Sanguineti, Elio Pagliarani, Nanni Balestrini, Antonio Porta) who would soon merge into the Gruppo '63, which is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary and was immediately labeled by contemporary critics as the "neo-avant-garde". It will be shown how it is precisely in the poets of the Stilnovo - a category that inspires the name "Novissimi" - that the most aware voices of the group identified the first historical opportunity for the search for an objective poetic language. It will also be seen how the 20th-century concept of 'avant-garde' greatly influenced the historiography of the Stilnovo.
