Watching the history of
mankind, epidemics represent a tragic constant;
a few of them - like Coronavirus - involve
the whole planet. It was in the years of
the Naples cholera when leopardi wrote La
ginestra, his masterpiece of poetry and philosophy.
Nowadays, as we face the effects of
a new pandemic, it may be useful to retrace
leopardi"s route, that right with La ginestra
“jumps" from patriotism to universal brotherhood,
without establishing or assuming any
contradiction between the two moments.
