Andrea Zanzotto's archetypical symbolism

Stefano Dal Bianco unveils the archetypical symbol- ism that underlies many of the metaphorical chains in Zanzotto’s poetry. Dal Bianco argues that these metaphors are not solely Zanzotto’s invention but draw from traditional symbolism with religious or esoteric origins. Despite not fully adhering to the religious meaning of these references, Zanzotto boldly employs them in his poetry, infusing them with unique connotations linked to an original manifestation of the divine, using the work of Gustav Jung as a fundamental source.
