PER L’ANNIVERSARIO DI UN GRANDE POETA: ANDREA ZANZOTTO E I SUOI AUTOGRAFI

Abstract

The article examines the main features of Andrea Zanzotto’s poetry (1921-2011) and scrutinises the poet’s manuscripts kept at the University of Pavia’s Centro Manoscritti di Autori Moderni e Contemporanei. The analysis specifically focuses on the intricate genetic and elaborative processes underlying Zanzotto’s ‘trilogy’ or ‘pseudo-trilogy’, composed of three poetry collections published in nearly a decade, Il Galateo in Bosco (1978), Fosfeni (1983), and Idioma (1986).
