"Virgilio è ballabile": la chiave di volta del teatro-canzone

Luca Maciacchini

Abstract:

My first encounter with Latin and Greek literature occurred in high school, but at that time it was difficult for me to find a good reason to study this subject… But when I listened to Giorgio Gaber's record "Sexus et politica" I discovered that musical metrics is similar to that of modern songs. Classical poetry turns out to be musicale, musicable, and even danceable. We find out that a new teaching prospect for present and future is possible: students "perceive" it.
