Unlike European sisters, the Italian language has not evolved naturally over time since Vulgar, but s' is almost materialized out of nowhere in the modern era to allow the deployment of a national identity which transcends the boundaries and regional and local characteristics, besides expanding the markets available for the economic system (consider, for example the possibility of selling a book written in Venetian dialect and those of its Italian translation).
isolated and thus impervious to influence each other, avevano dominato infatti, fino alla fine del ‘700, i dialetti e cioè fino a quando l’Accademia della Crusca formalizzò e quindi impose ai letterati una nuova lingua elaborata sulla base di quella usata dal Petrarca e da Dante (non si scelse infatti semplicemente di adottare il dialetto fiorentino come molti erroneamente ritengono!). Ciò significò soprattutto stilare un vocabolario ‘autorizzato’ al fine della scrittura letteraria. Tale elenco di parole, però, non comprendeva termini adatti a descrivere la quotidianità (cosa ovvia, visto che i testi dello Stil Novo scelti allo scopo non erano certo descrittivi di fatti e persone in contesti reali) e dunque la nuova lingua acquistò subito un che di pomposo and forcibly stately (the national anthem taught us anything, but the libretto ...). For the first writers of the period was certainly not an easy life: just remember that in two years Manzoni wrote the first version of the Betrothed and there went 16 more for 'proofreading' ('rinse the clothes in the Arno').
For all the authors who chose to write in Italian, this development meant giving up the authenticity of a language pure, rich colorings and dotted the region. The lost works so immediate and effective action and re-reading today dialect texts which are translated by the same author, there is a smile of the protagonists who often leaving ridicule (such as not smiling in front of Violet, a woman of easy virtue, who talks like a noblewoman?). The Italian was then inevitably the language to describe an idealized world, inhabited by knights and ladies moved by noble sentiments, in the background of a reality only hinted at.
vernacular literature that was (in school anthologies still designated as 'minor') but retained his ties with the people, the excluded, the despair, the places of the earth and work, the feelings experienced, the erotic, all subjects that certainly could not have been treated with equal depth in the literature 'high'.
Prof. Brevini us therefore be accompanied in un’emozionante esplorazione della poesia dialettale dal ‘600’ all’età contemporanea, viaggiando in tutto lo stivale grazie alla lettura – ma sarebbe meglio definirla performance attoriale – di brani scelti tra le opere degli autori più rappresentativi. Alcune pagine del Belli (autore Romano) e del Porta (milanese) ci hanno restituito la stessa idea dell’Italia popolana rassegnata e vinta delle canzoni di De André; non a caso, nella letteratura ‘popolare’, l’eroina è spesso una prostituta come le tante che popolano le canzoni dell’autore genovese - e forse il più grande pregio di De Andrè fu proprio quello di aver riportato alla luce l’autenticità poetry popular culture in a language comprehensible to everyone: a language that allowed him to talk about love and war (the real one and not without blemish and the knights fear) with the same force they used our dialect poets to give voice to the poor and redeem the losers - but more often we were thrilled and amused, like those of Trilussa and even Toto, with his now famous 'A level'.
In short, today's Italian language is a very young man who, while he took his first steps, already contaminated the many other languages \u200b\u200bthat cross the peninsula thanks to globalization. Thinking of implementing policies for the Protection of dialects is utopian and anachronistic, but also to explore our popular culture is an opportunity missed to better understand who we were and how they lived generations that preceded us.
The evening concluded with a lively debate and some curious revelations ... but to find out more you can ask us for a DVD of the evening!
