Pietro Sarzana, Franco Loi, Edoardo Firpo e le stragi di partigiani

2020, Letteratura e dialetti

When Franco Loi was 14, he looked at the massacred partisans in Piazzale Loreto; thirty years later, he wrote a long poem where (with great empathy) he recalled the scene, blamed the fascists, guilty of the slaughter, & celebrated the heroic partisans. Edoardo Firpo also wrote a poem to celebrate the sacrifice of the heroic Genoese par¬tisans killed in Cra¬vasco. Here an analysis & comparison between the two dia¬lectal poems.
