Scataglini e il canone poetico del secondo Novecento
Through the analysis of the arrangment of the most important anthologies dedicated to XXth c. Italian poetry, the author remarks how literature written in a dialect (as opposed to dialectal literature) has been gaining importance as a constituive part of Italian and European literature. From this point of view Scataglini is of great importance for the linguistic quality of his “invented” dialect, which appears “translatable”, more than that of other great poets and marked by the search for roots («an die Würzel der Dinge gehen»), as is the case of the greatest Novecento poetry. For this reason as well, Scataglini is a classic of contemporary literature.
