Selected Poems from Michelangelo Buonarroti (Italian and English)

by Michelangelo Buonarroti

Conosciuto ampiamente sia come pittore che come scultore, Michelangelo Buonarroti era anche un poeta di talento, sebbene egli stesso sminuisse il valore della sua poesia. Gli sopravvivono più di 300 poesie e la raccolta qui presentata è, ovviamente, limitata nella sua ampiezza, ma si potrebbe dire che sia rappresentativa delle sue opere migliori. Queste poesie sono piuttosto personali nella loro natura e possono richiedere più letture per coglierne tutta la forza e il significato. L'ascoltatore troverà ogni poesia nel suo originale italiano e poi nella sua traduzione in inglese. Known widely as both a painter and sculptor, Michelangelo Buonarroti was also a talented poet, although he downplayed his poetry's worth. More than 300 poems survive him and the collection presented here is, of course, limited in its breadth, but might be said to be representative of his best work. These poems are rather personal in their nature and may require multiple readings to grasp their full force and significance. The listener will find each poem in its original Italian and then its English translation. - Summary by KevinS
