This essay aims to investigate the meaning of the word "fondale" in Giorgio Caproni's poetic works. Starting with the analysis of two poems included in "Il Conte di Kevenhüller (1986) - in which the author uses the word with two meanings: "scenic backdrop" and "seabed" - the paper offers an overview that traces the roots of these meanings in the previous poetic work. The verses of the poem "Fondale della storia" ("L'acciaio. / Il ghiacciaio"), in particular, prompt reflections on the issues of evil, war and nothingness as developed in most of Caproni's work.

Abstract

This essay aims to investigate the meaning of the word "fondale" in Giorgio Caproni's poetic works. Starting with the analysis of two poems included in "Il Conte di Kevenhüller (1986) - in which the author uses the word with two meanings: "scenic backdrop" and "seabed" - the paper offers an overview that traces the roots of these meanings in the previous poetic work. The verses of the poem "Fondale della storia" ("L'acciaio. / Il ghiacciaio"), in particular, prompt reflections on the issues of evil, war and nothingness as developed in most of Caproni's work.
