Leopardi nelle riviste italiane tra le due guerre

The aim of this essay is to highlight some moments of Leopardi's reception in the Italian magazines of the period between the two World Wars, the starting point for the reception of the poet during the twentieth century. Starting from the central role played by the magazine «La Ronda», the essay will move on through the analysis of Leopardian reception in magazines whose contribution has been less studied, such as «La Fiera Letteraria», «Il Selvaggio» e «Il Frontespizio». Each magazine tried to link Leopardian poetic to his own artistic and political ideal. Beyond ideological intentions, Leopardi's reception in the 1920s and 1930s shows the rediscovery of minor works and prose and the willingness to insert the poet into the canon of Italian literature.
