Dialect Poetry of Southern Italy (Italian Poetry in Translation Book 2)

Candida Di Santo (Lanciano), Gino Orsini

and Anna Maria Maviglia (Chieti), Alfredo

Postiglione (Raiano), Bice Solfaroli

Camillocci (Montereale) and many others.

Beyond and above these groupings,

whose objective is merely an introducto¬ry

survey and not a historical overview, we

must situate the five poets selected to

represent the most rigorous and valuable

experienc¬es, both at the literary and more

strictly poetic level, of the middle and

second half of the century: Vittorio

Clemente, Alessandro Dommarco, Ottaviano

Giannangeli, Giuseppe Rosato and Cosimo

Savastano. It is thanks to them if dialect

poetry from Abruzzi, today, is not afraid of

comparisons with that of other regions, as

we believe the following pages will bear out.
