An extremely well-read writer, Bufalino made frequent use of quotations as embellishment but also as tools for comparison and sources of inspiration. Quotation is a basic stylistic and rhetorical structure present in all of his texts, but it becomes a specific trope in his books of aphorisms: “the quotation aphorism”. Bufalino quotes hundreds of writers but feels particularly close to Boiardo and Ariosto, Leopardi and Baudelaire, Joubert and Gómez de la Serna.
Scrittore coltissimo, Bufalino ha fatto frequente uso di citazioni sia come ornamento sia come ispirazione e confronto di idee. Struttura stilistica e retorica fondamentale di tutti i suoi testi, nei libri di aforismi essa diviene un modello specifico: l’aforisma citazione. Gli scrittori citati sono centinaia ma spiccano per sintonia Boiardo e Ariosto, Leopardi e Baudelaire, Joubert e Gómez de la Serna.

Abstract
An extremely well-read writer, Bufalino made frequent use of quotations as embellishment but also as tools for comparison and sources of inspiration. Quotation is a basic stylistic and rhetorical structure present in all of his texts, but it becomes a specific trope in his books of aphorisms: “the quotation aphorism”. Bufalino quotes hundreds of writers but feels particularly close to Boiardo and Ariosto, Leopardi and Baudelaire, Joubert and Gómez de la Serna.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
