And yet, in this Italian “decadence”, the moments of progress, of the positive work that history has done, of the slow and unconscious adaptation of Italians to the needs of an age that is oriented towards the great states are visible. Italy stagnates: yet in its own stagnation there are the conditions for a new advance. The decline of small states, the ruin of the old feudal nobility, the exhaustion of the closed circles of the city patriciate are decadence, ruin, exhaustion…

This, however, did not happen, essentially because, in M.’s opinion, the ruling classes shamefully failed to fulfill their responsibilities. All of M.’s reflection on the history of Italy in the fifteenth century and, even more, on the catastrophe of the times in which he wrote, it hinges on the shortcomings of the groups in power. Getting ready in the Histories to narrate the events of the entire peninsula in the fifth book, M. condemns the “cowardice” of the way of waging war…

It had hardly been lowered into the tomb when the great building of Gian Galeazzo Visconti creaked all over, began to crumble, was overwhelmed by the greed of friends and the grudges of enemies, leaders or ousted lords or groups of city nobility. And not only did the distant parts break off, but the core core dissolved as well. All the Visconti leaders made a lordship there: Gabrino Fandulo in Cremona, Pandolfo Malatesta in Brescia, Giovanni Vignati in Lodi, Filippo Arcelli in…

At this point, the Italian reaction against Gian Galeazzo begins. Florence, although not too targeted by the Visconti but suspicious of him, allies itself with Bologna, trying to attract Venice, still an ally of the Visconti. A coalition is outlined, directed from Florence, in which all the small states that are enemies of the Visconti and fearful of him enter. Venice is neutral, but it helps them. It is the time that the republic, as a result of the military and financial aid given…

Bernabò also…

In the last decades of the ‘300, the State of the Church is, due to the schism, back on the high seas and almost canceled, due to a very serious crisis, the kingdom of Naples, in the midst of the first struggles between the Sanseverino faction and the faction of the powerful Dukes of Andria, supported by a real military organization that was recruited in the country and outside; then, given the aspirations of the Angevins of France for the kingdom,…

According to TIMEDICTIONARY.COM, the trend that could be defined as “denouncing essayism” can be traced back to the same matrix of realistic “experimentalism”, in which the representation of the relationships between institutions and the individual is faced with a clear will to classify inspired by a sort of rationalism of the Enlightenment matrix, as happens in the work of L. Sciascia (The day of the owl ; The council of Egypt ; The context). A separate case is given by…

The new approach to the problem of realism, understood no longer as a photographic reflection of the appearance of objects but as a recovery of a different relationship with the data of experience, which essentially arose from the work of Pavese and Vittorini, has instead given rise to a sort of “experimentalism” of considerable importance, not so much in its immediate fruits, of heterogeneous value, as in the consequences, that is, in the richness of the roads and of the…

In fact, we are witnessing in the first place an attempt to recover the classic form of the nineteenth-century novel based on the character-story connection, in the different but similar articulations of the traditional story based on the character as a medium for the contemporary social portrait, or of the historical novel.

An approach to the problem of realism in linguistic terms, starting from a consideration of the linguistic institute as “mediation between poetry and culture”, is at the origin of the verse production of the neo-avant-garde (see in this App.) And of authors that follow similar paths, reached through a completely independent work of elaboration or more or less correlated to the neo-avant-garde experience. Villa (The privilege of being alive ; We are ancient beings), G. Musa (The artificial night ;…

PP Pasolini had already made provision for a similar periodization, but referring to language in general, and not only to the language-dialect relationship (in Ulysses, 1956-57, fasc. XXIV-XXV) outlining a first moment, with an average language of the Manzoni type, a second moment, characterized by a koiné resulting from an interregional generic mixture, and a third neorealistic moment aspiring to the mimetic use of an everyday speech but substantially fixed to the reuse of the koiné. A few years later,…

According to MYSTERYAROUND.COM, the solutions and responses of the last fifteen years represent the maturation of the discussions and problems that had been raised and developed in the second half of the 1950s starting from the observation of the crisis and failure of neorealism. In particular, that need for contact with reality persisted, that need for knowledge that had manifested itself after the war and to which neorealism had given an answer, rather than inadequate, wrong. The intolerance for the…
