Credits: (3). Course Homepage: No homepage submitted. The Italian Romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi compiled an interesting, and even nowadays reprinted, commentary of Petrarch's Canzoniere. His main purpose was to explain the most difficult passages in a plain way, so to give access to Petrarch's poems to young students, women and foreigners. In this class, taught in Italian, we will try to adopt Leopardi's method to prepare a commentary of his Canti. We will try to understand "the letter" of the poems and write a basic commentary. We will make use of the new technologies, to annotate, via the web, the text of the poems, using programs already experimented by other universities. No sophisticated computer skills is required. The aim of the course is to prepare, in a laboratorial and experimental environment, a comprehensive and basic commentary to be published on the Internet. Students are required to actively participate in this effort. No presentations, mid-term or final papers: grades will be based on effective involvement.
