Dante in periferia: Jaccarino, Castromediano, De Dominicis. (Italian)

The essay deals with the figure of Domenico Jaccarino (1840 - 1894), a literary man with multiple interests, translator of the Divina Commedia in the neapolitan dialect and founder of the Neapolitan Dante School, to which he associated, as an honor, Sigismondo Castromediano (1811 - 1895). The close friendship of "white duke" Castromediano with Giuseppe De Dominicis (1869 - 1905) author of the Canti de l'autra vita: 'Nfiernu Purgatoriu Paraisu (1900) in Lecce dialect, suggests an unusual common desire to make known, against the background of Italy united and effectively, Dante's poem also at a popular level.

Il saggio presenta la figura di Domenico Jaccarino (1840 - 1894), letterato dai molteplici interessi, traduttore della Divina Commedia in dialetto napoletano e fondatore della Scuola Dantesca Napolitana, alla quale associò, a titolo d'onore, Sigismondo Castromediano (1811 - 1895). La stretta amicizia del “duca bianco” con Giuseppe De Dominicis (1869 - 1905) autore dei Canti de l'autra vita: 'Nfiernu Purgatoriu Paraisu (1900) in dialetto leccese, suggerisce una inedita volontà comune di far conoscere, sullo sfondo dell'Italia unita ed in maniera efficace, il poema di Dante anche a livello popolare.
