Main Article Content

Abstract

This article deals with a group of ten satires written by the poet from Novara Giovanni Agostino Caccia, contained in his anthology of poems Rime (Venice, 1549). It analyzes the links between these satires and previous and contemporary traditions of this kind of poetry, paying particular attention to Antonio Vinciguerra and Ludovico Ariosto. In addition, the language of these poems are compared with the poetic language of the North of Italy, with the aim of determining the manner in which the Tuscan-literary model was expanded, even in a culturally peripheral zone such as Novara, at that time belonging to the Duchy of Milan.
