Article Description

This essay analyses two volumes of poetry published by the Accademia degli Accesi in Palermo in 1571 and 1573. Halfway between regionalism and a dialogue with Italian Petrarchism, the Rime represent an effort to modernise local literary institutions through the use of genres and forms widespread in mainland Italy. Stylistic experimentation and encomium aim to legitimize poetically the power of the viceroy and of the Inquisition.
