Abstract

The poet Elio Pagliarani in the literary and historical Italian context of the sixties and seventies

                    This paper deals with the poetics of Elio Pagliarani’s first works. Elio Pagliarani is an Italian poet who was one of the most important in the Italic literary scene during the second half of the twentieth century. Pagliarani belongs to a line that can be defined as "Lombard" and which originates directly from the XIX century, when the Lombardy region and its capital Milan were very important for the expansion of the enlightenment’s Ideas. The poetic works of Elio Pagliarani are related with the period of Realism and the economic Boom of the 1960s. Pagliarani, like the Italian poet, writer and director Pier Paolo Pasolini, anticipated the anthropological mutation of the Italian People. Pagliatrni has also invented a new form for poetry, a form that renews classical poetry. That is why he was involved in the Italian New Avant-garde literary movement that was born in 1963.

Key words: Pagliarani, Lombard line, Economic Boom, Neorealism, Italy.
