Un travestimento bergamasco dell'Orlandino di Pietro Aretino

This paper provides the first critical edition of the Bergamasque travesty of the poem Orlandino by Pietro Aretino witnessed by a XVI th century printed edition included in the miscellaneous volume Ital. 1566-71, now held at the Spencer Collection in the New York Public Library. The paper includes a literary analysis of the hypertextual relationships between the travesty and its hypotext, an account of the linguistic features of the text (compared with those of Ruzante’s, Andrea Calmo’s and Carlo Assonica’s Bergamasque), as well as the edition of a later and shorter remake of the text, printed in 1586 in Ancona with the title of Trasmutatione dell’Ariosto, now held at the Biblioteca Alessandrina in Rome.
