“Mira Nero de Tarpeya": el romance, La Celestina y la poesía italiana.
- Authors
ALONSO, ÁLVARO
- Abstract
In the first auto of La Celestina, Calisto quotes the first lines of the romance “Mira Nero de Tarpeya", and he consider It from the point of view of amorous relationships: the blaze of Rome is compared to the metaphorical flames of the lover, and Nero's cruelty stand for the beloved's cruelty. In this article we study this twofold comparison from a historical point of view, that Is, making the comparison with other Spanish and Italian texts that use the same or a similar metaphor. From our analysis we draw the conclusion that La Celestina is ahead of the sixteenth century itallanlst poetry, most probably because Its author Is already acquainted with the Italian lyric poetry of the Quattrocento.
