Giuseppe Ungaretti: a Lyric itinerary

Abstract

The paper crosses significant moments of the poetry of the Italian poet, from the undressed character and the syllabication of verse of L’Allegria, to the Christian baroque style of Sentimento del Tempo, in which the tradition of the singing, silenced at the previous time, is re-established, until arriving at Il dolore and LaTerra Promessa which is analyzed the “Ricitativo di Palinuro from a compared approach. Ungaretti’s lyrical work reflects the “uomo di pena”, who, after the warlike tragedies, as a shipwrecked person, lives with the hope on which the life appears again and the faith is renewed.
