«In questo mezzo sonno»: temi e immagini nell’opera di Vittorio Sereni

Abstract

The present study offers an overview of recurring themes and images in the work of Vittorio Sereni. Through the various poetic collections, he tries to dialogue with the past and with the present, to experiment without betraying his own voice, talking about the history of his century and his personal history. Next to writing in verse there is the prose, which incorporates both private and civil themes, and critical writing, linked to the publishing activity of Mondadori: here Sereni tries to renew the cultural panorama of the late twentieth century.
