LES FORMES DU « NON DIT » DANS LA POÉSIE ITALIENNE DU XXe SIÈCLE. LE CAS D’UMBERTO SABA
HE FORMS OF THE "UNSAID" IN ITALIAN POETRY OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE CASE OF UMBERTO SABA

Summary/Abstract: This article is a new chapter (and a digression) in the context of research into the obscurity of content in 20th-century Italian poetry. The author is not chosen at random: Umberto Saba is, by common opinion, the least obscure of the main representatives. But it’s also one of the least difficult, if we understand the difficulty as such a particular type of obscurity identified for the first time by Fortini in Italian poetry of the twentieth century: "A feature of obscurity which does not act as constitutive but only as momentary and which can be resolved by a certain degree of competence of reader" because "it accepts, indeed, it requires interpretation and paraphrase". However, certain features of obscurity - or rather of difficulties in the Fortinian sense - it is also present in Saba.
