Reticent techniques in the poetic language of Giorgio Caproni

In this essay on "Reticent techniques in the poetic language of Giorgio Cap roni", Raffaella Scarpa proposes some definitions and procedures of recogni tion of the techniques of the reticence, providing examples taken from the Italian poetry of the 19th century. In the second part of the article, the case of Caproni is studied in comparison with those definitions and procedu res: the author concludes that the pauses frequently used by the poet shoul d be considered as a "borderline phenomenon", since the resulting effect of silence cannot be properly defined as "reticence", with the only exception of Il vetrone.
