This essays deals with Aretino’s Marescalco, an ambitious work of art in which, by means of a fierce attack on the literary sources, the writer undermines the general principles connected to the court. The text is a vitriolic parody of the Renaissance comedy, of the treatises concerning social behaviour, and of those about love written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Nevertheless, while expressing the unrest of the time, it does not succeed in getting rid of the logic of the court. Aretino, in fact, proves to be unable to carry out decisive elements of discontinuity.

Abstract
This essays deals with Aretino’s Marescalco, an ambitious work of art in which, by means of a fierce attack on the literary sources, the writer undermines the general principles connected to the court. The text is a vitriolic parody of the Renaissance comedy, of the treatises concerning social behaviour, and of those about love written in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Nevertheless, while expressing the unrest of the time, it does not succeed in getting rid of the logic of the court. Aretino, in fact, proves to be unable to carry out decisive elements of discontinuity.Pubblicazioni consigliate
