TRAGICO SEICENTO TEATROSettore L-FIL-LET/10 - Letteratura Italianadescription
The essay esamins some religious italian tragedies – Crisanto by Hortensio Scammacca (1632), Il Pellegrino and Il Bartolomeo by Tommaso Aversa (1641) (1644) and La Reina di Scotia by Federico della Valle (1628) – written in the Age of Controriforma and Barocco, when tragic theatre, in particolar, offers to Christian propaganda a powerful instrument of moral repentance. Religious Tragedies stage the war between the Good and Evil and the final triumph of Good, through rhethorical strategies and a singular connection between immagins, words, music and theatrical machines. This kind of plays expresse the authentic meaning of Barocco religious tragedy.
