The student, through monographic paths on one or more traditions, conducted starting from the direct examination of manuscript and printed witnesses, will acquire advanced philological tools and active skills to address the main ecdotic problems, exegetical and interpretive texts of Italian literature. Through the analysis of various types of autograph work materials (sketches, zibaldoni, annotated books, etc.), you will develop additional skills aimed at the study of the genesis of texts and will have the opportunity to refine the methodology of approach to sources.
