Abstract

The article analyzes Cesare Luporini's studies of the work of Giacomo Leopardi, underlining how over the years he reinterpreted the same thematic nuclei in differ¬ent ways. A method of reading texts emerges that assumes the form of an untiring operation of reprocessing, in a continuous dialogue with other intellectuals devoted to the study of the poet from Recanati. In the face of many interpretative changes, we wished to emphasize that a constant in Luporini's study of Leopardi's work - as well as in his study of Leonardo da Vinci - is the investigation of the relationship between philosophy and other forms of knowledge.
