Abstract

The essay crosses some concepts that remained for a long time in Italian literature between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries: words as “motto”, “sprezzatura”, laugh, wit, dissimulation, contempt from Boccaccio, through Pontano, Castiglione, Accetto, Peregrini, Bartoli rise to Leopardi. Their meaning is as ethical as rhetorical and in their refinement and change they draw a profile of Italian thought.
