Giovanni Pascoli and the poetry of the unsaid: Canti di Castelvecchio.
Giovanni Pascoli is a poet who enables a wide-ranging and detailed analysis of Italian literature not only from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but from the fourteenth century onwards, thanks to the complex and impressive intertextuality of his texts. Pascoli’s poetry must be investigated not only rhetorically and stylistically, but also conceptually, in order to lead to legibility the communicative level of the unsaid and the unspeakable, which is consistent and very significant in the writing of this highly cultured poet, very skillful in the art of dissimulation. Canti di Castelvecchio represent a fundamental stage in the process of research and development of the poetics of fanciullino, also thanks to the profound relationship they have with the poetry of Dante, Petrarca, Boccaccio, Tasso, Marino, Leopardi, and others.
