Echi petrarcheschi nele opere delle poetesse italiane rinascimentali
Petrarchan Echoes in the Works of Italian Renaissance Poets

Summary/Abstract: The work presents aspects of the lyrical poetry of the Italian poets of the 16th century, who, following the tradition of Petrarch’s Il Canzoniere, wrote sometimes breaking away from the models of the great poet of the 14th century, from poems of deep amorous sensitivity, using poetic language and versification techniques of great artistic value. Full of dramatic events, the lives of these poets - Veronica Gambarra, Vittoria Colonna, Gaspara Stampa, Tullia of Aragon, Chiara Matraini and Vittoria Franco – are described in their canzonieri with a real vibration of feelings of anxiety, pain, sadness, sometimes even hope, which constitutes a very important chapter of Italian Renaissance Literature, in the century in which one of the greatest intellectual achievements was precisely the emancipation of women.
