Basic university required course
The aim of this University Course is to give an idea of Italian literary tradition, from its origins to the actual days, with a particular eye to the different cultural typologies, interpretation of texts and contexts (musical, artistic, historical), and principally to the relationship with other foreign cultural systems.
Particular attention must be given to the development of the skill in written expression (summary; report; etc) and in the interpretation of the various themes - having always in mind the relationship between Italian and foreign literary culture.
