my first time on /lit/, looking for some italian poetry! most

The Decameron

>>8385922
By definition wouldn't any book about italian poetry give you a ton of leads for pursuing actual italian poetry?

>>8385922
If you like Renaissance poerty, try Petrarch. Decameron is meme material.

>>8385937
yes it would, thats why i will go to the library tommorow and look into one. this is more like finding out what people like

>>8385941
i can't speak italian yet so i will be happy to find out how much i like it

>>8385954
It's only Shakespeare in Italian. Not joking.

> Everything by Dante
> Especially Inferno

I won't quote the obvious ones, so have some Metastasio.

>>8385983

>>8385994
thanks for the input, will take a look at him

Yeah, I would recommend it. As pivotal as many other classical authors.

im looking at Lettera Dedicatoria Delle Lezioni Petrarchesche di Giovan Battista Gelli right now. it seems a little hard in terms of language to me, but it is looking good

im also a big fan of reprints that do not change anything about the original

its hard to decide on a book, because its supposed to be a gift
