Abstract

Through the analysis of the text variants of Gabriele d’Annunzio’s Il fanciullino (such as the provisional titles of the seven ballads) and the study of the literary sources, the manuscript accounts for a series of intertextual references, namely the influence of Angelo Conti’s Betata riva as well as some analogies with a sonnet of Foscolo and Dante’s Commedia, in the loci where they write about Florence, and last but not least the contact with Pascoli’s Pensieri sull’arte poetica.
