Translating, reading, writing Petronius’ Satyricon in the Seicento
type: item
description: The present article deals with a seventeenth-century manuscript (Ang) that contains the translation into Italian of Petronius’ Satyricon, a work from Antiquity renowned for its obscenity. The translation is anonymous and was probably composed in Northern Italy (Venice?). Ang is not an autograph and seems to represent a clandestine publication. The systematic comparison between Ang and the sixteenth and seventeenth-century printed editions of the Satyricon (in Latin) has shown how the author of the translation was not concerned with textual criticism. However, the latter conveniently mastered literary Italian. On the contrary, the scribe who materially wrote Ang, likely on commission, did not fully master the norm of written Italian. Ang’s punctuation and its textual organisation, as well as the peculiar use of catchwords, suggest that the manuscript may have been specifically produced to be read out loud. The text of the translation, as transmitted by Ang, displays a number of explicatory glosses intended to clarify Petronius’ text and, mostly, to clarify the Italian that was originally used by the translator, reformulating it in a less literary variety (sometimes even by the means of dialectal expressions – from the Perugian area). Such a complex textual stratification proves the actual circulation of the translation across Italy as well as its progressive adaptation to an undemanding public.

God’s voice or man’s death in May 68. À propos of two short films of Bernardo Bertolucci and Pier Paolo Pasolini
type: item
description: May 1968 meant for youth a turn in their ways of representing and acting. Likewise, it meant the complex transformation of cultural, political and economic discourses of which the representation of the divinity was not an exception. This article will describe how Bernardo Bertolucci and Pier Paolo Pasolini represented the divine figure in the context of the Italian 68. As a song by Francesco Guccini states, God is dead but the desire for his resurrection still exists. The analysis focuses on two short films from the collective film Amore e rabbia (1969): "Agonia" by Bertolucci and "The sequence of the fiore di carta" by Pasolini. The analysis shows that far from wishing and declaring divinity’s their death, both authors call into question the divine existence and its relevance in a world characterized by suffering and injustice as well as by solidarity and love. It is in the contradictory interstice between love and rage that the relationship of these directors with the divinity happens.

The Italian derivational suffix –Vcchiare: a diachronical analysis
type: item
description: The aim of this work is to present the historical evolution of the evaluative Italian suffix –Vcchiare. After analyzing the suffixal nature of –Vcchiare, in relation to others possible considerations (infix or interfix), we propose a hypothesis on its etymological origin and study the lexical bases to which has been added. The relationship between the different types of bases and the lexical meanings expressed by the suffix, from a diachronic perspective, gives us an overview of its productivity and its semantic changes and a more detailed description of the functions and values of its different allomorphs through the time.

«New paths of Beauty». Dantesque intertextuality in the poetry of Andrea Zanzotto
type: item
description: The aim of the essay is to offer a new intertextual reading of the poetry of Andrea Zanzotto by underscoring and examining the method of introjection and resemantization of Dante’s works. In particular, the critical aim is to explore and clarify Zanzotto’s original dialogue with the work and the Weltanschauung of Dante Alighieri by underlining general isotopies and specific intertextual borrowings from the Commedia in the poetic construction of the collection Conglomerati (2009).

title: Traces of Renaissance Neoplatonism in the Encomiastic Poetry of the Kingdom of Naples during the First Half of the 16th Century: Luminous and Solar Characterizations of Power in Garcilaso de la Vega, Vittoria Colonna, Luigi Tansillo and Bernardo Tasso.
description: In this work we will attend to one of the dimensions of encomiastic poetry written in the Hispano-Italian literary space of the Kingdom of Naples during the first half of the 16th century. We will study how certain traces of the Neoplatonic imaginary of light and the sun are manifested in the lyrical characterization of certain characters related to the Neapolitan spheres of power. To do this we will base ourselves on four fundamental poets in the formation of said space in the period that interests us: Garcilaso de la Vega, Vittoria Colonna, Luigi Tansillo y Bernardo Tasso.

Pyramus and Thisbe in Boccaccio’s works between texts and images: new sources, variants and “errors” in the images of the De mulieribus claris
type: item
description: This essay focuses on the story of Pyramus and Thisbe told in Boccaccio’s De mulieribus claris and offers an in-depth analysis of the iconographical variants in ancient manuscripts and printed editions. The study of the relationship between text and images made it possible to delve deeper into the question of the interference with other texts, as well as to bring attention to some details of Boccaccio’s story wich detach it from Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Thus, it has been possible to discover that Boccaccio knew and used the French lai Piramus et Tisbé (perhaps through the mediation of the Ovide moralisé), and that the iconography of the printed editions analysed in this essay seems to be affected by Giovanni Bonsignori’s vernacular translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses.

The last texts: Fifteen Venetian testaments of women in the year of the black death (1348)
type: item
description: The paper presents the edition, with linguistic notes, of fifteen testamentary cedulae dictated in Venice by women in the months following the outbreak of the plague in 1348. Since these documents are probably not autographs, but probably dictated, the interest in their linguistic form concerns above all the organization of the text, in which the social conditions of the authors are peculiarly reflected. (Macro)syntax and textuality thus become diagnostic elements in a historical situation of emergency and exceptionality such as that of the plague, which influences the conception and structure of these texts.

Modal overdetermination: an analysis of non-Tuscan texts
type: item
description: The paper presents a research on modal overdetermination in the vernacular texts of Northern and Southern Italy and of the “Area mediana” (1300-1420). The aim of the work is to broaden the data base on this phenomenon, which has already been thoroughly investigated – but almost exclusively with regard to Tuscan texts – by Franca Brambilla Ageno (1964). The survey provides useful information for a more general understanding of modal verb syntax, since the feature occurs not only in Late Latin and medieval Italo-Romance, but also in other ancient and modern varieties (Neo-Latin as well as non-Latin).

The syntax of 13th- and early-14th-century Tuscan accounting records
type: item
description: This paper focuses on syntax and textuality of the relatively vast galaxy of thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries Tuscan accounting records: from simple lists of expenses and receipts, to lists of land and collected and to-be-collected taxes, up to the more complex records that register the same operation in different books and add the final balance of income and expenditure. Shared to both the “static” lists and the “dynamic” accounting records is the highly formulaic use of syntax, substantially repetitive because it is functional to the identification and hierarchization of the relevant elements of each accounting movement.

Syntax and formulaicity of recipe books: The case of the Trattato della miniatura
type: item
description: The recent interest in artistic recipe books has promoted the development of specialized glossaries and linguistic studies, which have enriched traditional content analysis of these texts with a renewed linguistic appreciation. However, the investigation of the syntactic structures within late artistic recipe books—key witnesses to the gradual evolution toward the more mature textual form of the Renaissance treatise—remains relatively underexplored. This study aims to examine the formulaic structures and syntactic patterns characteristic of the Trattato della miniatura, a sixteenth-century collection of 104 recipes detailing the preparation of colors and the depiction of landscape elements, garments, and flesh tones. Particular attention will be devoted to analyzing the recursive syntactic constructs that structure the main expository sections of the recipes, including titles, incipits, and elements marking the distinct procedural stages. The findings will be compared with existing studies on the language of recipe books to assess the persistence of syntactic features characteristic of the genre and to explore how these elements evolve toward more extensive and standardized structures.

title: Il contributo prende in esame alcune caratteristiche sintattiche e testuali ricorrenti dei libri di famiglia fiorentini tre-quattrocenteschi. Si tratta di testi che da un lato presentano una scrittura decisamente schematica e formulare, alla base della quale risiede una duplice tradizione scrittoria: quella notarile in latino e quella contabile in volgare; dall’altro sono stati realizzati con finalità essenzialmente pratiche e documentarie da scriventi, perlopiù semicolti, interessati a un puro uso funzionale della scrittura. Sul versante della costruzione del periodo, si analizza un tipo di scrittura sintetica che consiste nel porre la sequenza delle informazioni su un’unica linea prospettica (talvolta azzerando anche la dimensione temporale e quella di causa-effetto) per mezzo dell’onnipresente connettivo-demarcativo e; ci si sofferma quindi sui frequenti cambi di progetto sintattici e semantici, sui mutamenti del soggetto sintattico non espressi, sulle costruzioni a tema sospeso. Sul piano della testualità, il focus è in particolare sugli aspetti più caratteristici (e devianti rispetto alla norma) nell’àmbito della progressione tematica del discorso.

Syntax in the letters of a merchant with a hybrid language. The Avignon corpus of the correspondence of Piero di Matteo Tecchini (1385-1386)
type: item
description: This article focuses on a small corpus of letters by the medieval merchant Piero di Matteo Tecchini. Born into a Florentine family, he grew up in a Provençal and Catalan linguistic environment and is the author of hundreds of letters, today preserved at the Archivio di Stato di Prato. The wide variety of hands that wrote the letters signed with his name reveals the presence of a large commercial team supporting him, but many of his texts are linguistically hybrid. The letters written by his collaborators, in particular, are entirely in a generally Tuscan vernacular, while those written by Tecchini himself (whose handwriting has been confirmed through internal elements of the correspondence) show distinctly Catalan forms within an Italo-Romance framework. This work provides the edition of Tecchini’s letters related to the Avignon warehouse, consisting of six documents, all written, at the end of the 14th century, by the hand identified as that one of the merchant, and analyzes their syntax and textuality, focusing on those features related to the tendency for rapid production of practical texts.

Metalinguistic reflection around linguistic change: A didactic proposal for Lusophone learners of Italian as a foreign language
type: item
description: The contribution is set in the context of teaching Italian LS to Lusophone learners, focusing on treating linguistic errors when analysed from the perspective, both diachronic and synchronic, of language change. It considers two negative transfers present in the interlanguages (IL) of learners at different CEFR levels of proficiency, involving the definite articles and the verbs essere and stare (ser and estar). These grammatical elements are then presented and described along with their phases of change in diachrony. The language transfers present in the ILs of intermediate-level learners (B1 / B2 CEFR) are then analysed. Lastly, the contribution outlines a didactic proposal which aims to stimulate metalinguistic reflection and cognitive action in the LS acquisition and learning process.

«Con l’esercizio costante»: tra le carte e l’opera di Ada Prospero Marchesini Gobetti Con un racconto inedito dell’autrice
type: item
description: Elisiana Fratocchi’s book “With Constant Practice”: Between the Papers and the Work of Ada Prospero Marchesini Gobetti offers a thorough re-evaluation of Ada Prospero—not merely as the wife of Piero Gobetti or an icon of anti-fascism, but as an independent author. Drawing on extensive archival research (notebooks, correspondence, typescripts, editorial records), the book traces the intellectual and literary evolution of Prospero through three key works: La musica più bella, Storia del gallo Sebastiano, and Diario partigiano, along with a previously unpublished short story, Racconto di guerra. Fratocchi shows that Prospero’s writing, from her youth onward, was a continuous act of reflection, resistance, and testimony. She highlights the literary function of her work, beyond its political or pedagogical dimensions, emphasizing the complexity behind each piece, including multiple drafts and editorial negotiations. The archive becomes a tool for interpretation, allowing a reconstruction of thematic and stylistic coherence despite apparent discontinuities. Through a philological and cultural lens, the book sheds light on lesser-known aspects of Prospero’s thought—from pedagogy to civic engagement and reflections on gender. What emerges is a multifaceted portrait of a thoughtful, cultured writer who transformed personal experience into collective memory. Fratocchi’s work is a significant contribution to the recognition of a figure still underrepresented in studies on Italian literature and Resistance history.

Causal and consecutive semantic relations in Southern Italian administrative texts between the Late Medieval and Early Modern Age
type: item
description: The paper aims to shed light on the syntactic-textual features of a corpus of administrative texts produced in the Kingdom of Naples in the Modern Age (petitions, instructions, town registers). More specifically, due to their relevance in the overall organization of the texts, the semantic relations of causality and consecutiveness are highlighted. The analysis of the texts shows the ways in which writers of “median” cultural caliber use an array of syntactic-textual structures and solutions within socio-discursive genres typical of the administrative and chancery environments of Italy in the late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. In this way, the paper contributes to the reconstruction of a general and vast framework related to writing practices and skills of writers who, although not being literates, participated in the consolidation of those writing practices that were necessary for the management of the administrative life of Italian cities.

Reported speech in the letters of Francesco and Margherita Datini. Syntactic and discourse configurations
type: item
description: The paper addresses some aspects of “reported speech” in the correspondence of Francesco and Margherita Datini, highlighting the peculiar interaction between pragmatic, discursive and syntactic factors that we can observe in epistolary writing, a textual type constitutively dialogic and polyphonic. In particular, we analyze the organization of the enunciative planes, the intermingling of direct and indirect speech, the use of reportative evidential formulas and the co-occurrence of topicalization and representation processes of others’ words.

Costruzioni inaccusative nel Cinquecento
type: item
description: To describe certain unaccusative verbs found in literary and epistolary texts from the sixteenth century, this essay begins by examining the different syntactic configurations of fuggire (e.g., sono fuggito, mi sono fuggito, ho fuggito) in Il libro del Cortegiano, the letters of Baldassarre Castiglione (1497-1529), and other Renaissance texts. The initial data emerging from this introductory observation are analyzed through the work of Elisabetta Ježek on the unaccusative verb constructions in Early Italian, which was the first to provide a diachronic description of this significant construction type. The essay aims to offer new data on the history of these constructions by drawing on various types of sixteenth-century texts (literary prose, poetry, letters, comedies), with particular attention to the most important linguistic change identified in Ježek’s study: the disappearance in modern Italian of the pronominal unaccusative construction (e.g., mi sono fuggito, fuggendosi), which was accepted (and prevalent) in Early Italian across all conjugations, unlike the simple construction, which was only allowed in compound and non-finite verbs (e.g., io sono fuggito, fuggendo). The research also examines other unaccusative verbs and the two additional changes identified by Ježek. The essay concludes with a brief discussion on the expunction of the construction *si [>sì] è* (the verb essere preceded by sì, which should not be confused with reflexive forms) in the third version of Cortegiano, a form which appears in the second version.

Syntactic notes on pratical texts from Treviso (first half of the 14th century)
type: item
description: The article analyses a series of practical texts (including expense notes, credit notes, payment records) compiled in Treviso in the first half of the 14th century and describes their syntactic uses, with particular attention to the expression of the personal pronoun, the uses of the relative, clitics, prepositions and verbal constructs. A picture emerges of a language that is at times close to orality, often eschewing canonical sentence constructions.

Geography and iconography of a princely journey in the second half of the 17th century: the Iberian Grand tour of Cosimo III de’ Medici and its images
type: item
description: The documentation on the trip to Spain and Portugal developed by Cosimo III of Medici from 1668 until 1669, in large part still unpublished, is a source of great interest to deepen in the Iberian Peninsula of that moment, especially because of the role as a visual reporter developed by the painter Pier Maria Baldi, who painted 120 watercolours for illustrating the Relazione ufficiale, manuscript preserved at the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana (Florence). In this article we propose the travel’s definitive itinerary, remarkable historic attestation about a Grand tour in the Iberian context.

Two discursive profiles in contrast: the case of poiché and dal momento che in synchrony and diachrony
type: item
description: The present study intends to draw the semantic-discursive profile of two connectors classified as causal, comparing the functioning of poichè and dal momento che in discourse. In the first part of the analysis, which is based on political (corpus Europarl) and journalistic (the Corriere della Sera) prose, the characteristics and peculiarities of both connectors in synchrony are brought into focus. In the second part, the diachronic perspective is examined, investigating the contribution of poichè and dal momento che to the discourse constitution in texts of the literary tradition. The analysis highlights that poiché is established from the very beginning of Italian literature as an argumentative connector with a broad semantic-discursive scope, whereas dal momento che is limited to the creation of local coherence. The analysis takes place within the framework of a linguistic theory of argumentation.
