Tutti i sonetti romaneschi Volume I: Annotato per i non romani (Italian Edition)

(Giuseppe Francesco Antonio Maria Gioachino Raimondo Belli...)

Giuseppe Francesco Antonio Maria Gioachino Raimondo Belli (1791 – 1863) è stato un poeta italiano nato a Roma da famiglia benestante. Nei suoi 2279 Sonetti romaneschi, composti in vernacolo romanesco raccolse la voce del popolo della Roma del XIX secolo. L'opera del Belli, principalmente nota per la produzione dei suoi sonetti in dialetto, rappresenta con felice sintesi la mentalità dei popolani della Città Eterna, lo spirito salace, disincantato, a tratti furbesco e sempre autocentrico della plebe, come egli stesso la individua, rendendo con vivezza una costante traduzione in termini ricercatamente incolti di tutte le principali tematiche della quotidianità del tempo. Da un punto di vista letterario, si tratta della produzione più corposa della poesia dialettale italiana dell'Ottocento, e, in termini linguistici, si tratta di un documento di inestimabile valore sulle mille possibili articolazioni del romanesco, di cui isola un tipo oramai classico, mentre il tempo trascorso ha provveduto a farlo evolvere. Del Belli fu caratteristico di certo il realismo e l'inclinazione verso una satira di sistema, velenosa proporzionalmente alla presunta impossibilità di portare a moralistica "redenzione" i cattivi costumi. Il Belli usa solo apparentemente modi più "leggeri", e difatti dell'opera si hanno inquadramenti nelle categorie dell'umorismo, della "cronica", del lazzo e - per estremo - della letteratura scandalistica. Al piacere di degustarne l'arguzia, si è spesso aggiunta la morbosità per la dirompente frequenza di ricorso a termini e locuzioni, o proprio a situazioni tematiche, di drastico scandalo. I sonetti romaneschi sono qui suddivisi in due volumi, anche se corposi.

Set against the chequered background of Rome, the city of the six Ps – Pope, priests, princes, prostitutes, parasites and the poor – Belli’s sometimes scandalous sonnets deal with life’s elementals: love, death, sex, food, money, family, religion and politics. In his immense oeuvre, sampled here in a sizeable and varied selection of the best poems, people from every course and manner of life have their say – housewives, mothers, beggars, lovers, businessmen, popes, whores, doctors, thieves, lawyers, priests, pen-pushers, actresses, gossips and many more. Their voices and preoccupations are brilliantly and accurately rendered in this dual-language volume by prize-winning novelist and poet Mike Stocks, one of the finest sonneteers of our day.

Vernacular Sonnets of Giuseppe Gioachino Belli Vol. 3: 1835-1849

(Giuseppe Gioachino Belli (Rome 1791-1863) produced the la...)

Giuseppe Gioachino Belli (Rome 1791-1863) produced the largest body of satirical poetry in Italian: 2,279 pungent sonnets in romanesco devoted to the lives and behaviour of the common people of the Rome of his time. His range of topics is simply too long to list but embraces: eating, drinking, violence, sex, earthquake, ghosts, gambling, house-hunting, religion, orphans, popes, shyster lawyers, bedrooms, fireworks. His irregular, sometimes scurrilous, subject matter is shaped by a peerless mastery of the Petrachan sonnet. He chose not to publish in his lifetime, reciting instead to a select audience which, on at least one occasion, included another great writer of comic literature, Gogol, who mentioned him in admiration to his literary correspondents. Over the past fifty years his reputation has justly grown, and some of his work is now available in French, German, Spanish and Russian. In English he has gained the attention of such writers and poets as William Carlos Williams, Robert Garioch, Gregory Corso, Anthony Burgess, Robert Lowell. Michael Sullivan taught Philosophy at London University before Thatcher’s slash and- burn policy resulted in the closure of five of its colleges. He turned to literary translation, living in Trastevere in Rome among the heirs of Belli’s people while they were still relatively untouched by political correctness and the dumbing-down of Berlusconi’s media empire. He first tried his hand at a Belli sonnet when translating Armando Petrucci’s Writing the dead for Stanford Univerity Press (1998). He has translated, amongst others, Fabrizia Ramondino, Giorgio Agamben, Ottavio Fatica. His translation of Michelangelo, Love sonnets and madrigals to Tommaso de’Cavalieri, was published by Peter Owen Publishers in 1997. This is Volume 3 of Michael Sullivan’s translation of Belli’s sonnets. The first 2 volumes were published in 2011 as “Vernacular Sonnets of Giuseppe Gioachino Belli. A selection. Volume 1 1819-1832” and ‘‘Volume 2 1833-1834” respectively.

Writing clandestine sonnets in local dialect for more than 15 years while leading a respectably conformist life of letters and bureaucracy, Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli erected a lasting poetical monument to the people of 19th-century Rome. Set against the checkered background of the city of the six Ps—pope, priests, princes, prostitutes, parasites, and the poor—Belli's sometimes scandalous sonnets deal with life's elementals love, death, sex, food, money, family, religion, and politics. In his immense oeuvre, sampled here in a sizeable and varied selection of the best poems, people from every course and manner of life have their say—housewives, mothers, beggars, lovers, businessmen, popes, whores, doctors, thieves, lawyers, priests, pen-pushers, actresses, gossips, and many more. Their voices and preoccupations are brilliantly and accurately rendered in this volume by Mike Stocks, one of the finest sonneteers of our day.
