Notes on Russian Poetry Translated into Italian between 1987 and 2022

Abstract

The paper discusses the Italian reception of Russian language poetry taking into account translations carried out between 1987 and 2022. The survey deals mainly with anthologies, journal issues devoted entirely or partially (but significantly) to Russian poetry, and single volumes of Russian poets translated into Italian entirely devoted to poets writing in Russian. With more than four hundred publications, it is clear Russian poetry has found a place in the Italian language. This is shown by the amount of poets who have appeared in Italian (and have been included in the table attached to the paper), and by the extensive bibliography placed in the repository of the journal “Studi Slavistici”.
