Verso libero
Verso libero ( Italian "free verse") is the designation for free verse in Italian literature , i.e. verses that are neither metrically regulated nor have rhyme connections and are typically not divided into regular stanzas .
The term first appeared in 1891 by Francesco Flamini as a direct translation of the French term vers libre . It is to be distinguished from the rhymed verse , largely corresponding to the blank verse, which in the 18th century was also called verso libero , but is now called verso sciolto .
In Italian poetry, the verso libero first appeared in Domenico Gnoli ( Fra terra e astri , 1903) and at about the same time in Gabriele D'Annunzio ( Laus vitae , 1903). The free verse was consequently continued and completed by the futurists , especially Marinetti , and the subsequent expressionist and surrealist poets. As a major advocate of liberismo and liberisti applies Enrico Thovez ( Il poema dell'adolescenza , 1901; Il Pastore, il gregge e la zampogna , 1910). The verso libero also played an important role in the lyric poetry of crepuscolarismo .
