Dignità del dolore

Abstract

Starting from the affirmations of Marziano Guglielminetti, the study intends to reread the autobiography of the Notturno by Gabriele d'Annunzio. Subsequently, It proposes an analysis on the poetics inside this peculiar literary work, in particular on the dignity of the conception of ‘sorrow’ that the Notturno expresses, comparing with other interpretations of ‘grief’ in Italian literature (Giovanni Pascoli and Guido Gozzano); and also reflecting on the d'Annunzio repertoire in general with respect to the Notturno.
