Da Pluto alla Fata Plutina (Italia liberata dai Goti).

In attempting to investigate factors which may account for Aristophanes' revival in Renaissance times, the focus of this paper will be on Trissino's production, his reusing of passages and comic expressions from Plutus, in particular in the Italia liberata dai Goti. The primary goal of this study is to demonstrate that we are not talking about generic archaizing surfacing film, but concrete match to entire tracks, where Italian poet translates some Greek lines adjusting both traits and style to new different contest as well as audience (in greater detail, instead of the god and his distribution of wealth we see, here, a fairy and her spreading love...). This Trissino's personal way of approaching Aristophanes and entering lines from Plutus in the middle of his epic adventures proves that he quoted comedy regardless of topic but mostly like precious flourish.
