Dante and Italian progressive rock

Main Article Content

Marco Berisso
The essay investigates the explicit references to Dante's Commedia that can be found in the so-called Italian progressive music production. The analysis is centred above all on the relationships between Dante’s poem and the lyrics of the musical works examined, trying to identify the dynamics of reuse of the verses of the poem, from literal quotation to structure’s suggestions. The period involved in the study starts from the first mention of Dante in New Trolls’ Ut (1972) since the very latest years.
