amenus The locus of love:
Within the Laurentian privileged circle that moves in the cultural climate of the fifteenth century Florentine Angelo Poliziano outstanding figure who, composing in the vernacular but also in Latin and greek, unable to consolidate a culture ferrata and a stylistic form admirable. In 1475, to celebrate the success of peace among the Italian powers for his own work, Lorenzo the Magnificent held a tournament to which Poliziano took part with a piece of rooms in the eighth, or the meters used by Boccaccio, giving life to 'Rooms for the Joust '. The work becomes the prophet of love that Plato is here tested by Giuliano, brother of Lorenzo in reality, Simonetta Vespucci, a Florentine woman. The poet goes into creating a character, Iulus, dedicated solely to hunting, body care and shall not in contempt of love, Cupid, then weaves a deception to take revenge through which Julian convinced to follow a deer, comes encounter with the nymph Simonetta which falls madly in love. In addition to a hymn to love, 'Rooms for the Joust' are a celebration of beauty and youth, a characteristic that emerges strongly from the description of the place in which they move Iulus and the nymph. In fact, every element is configured as part of a lush spring that seems to want to accompany the birth of new love and the environment of the sentiments expressed in his own nature tried by the poet. E 'then the fundamental recurrence by the police, typical topos of pastoral poetry, the locus amenus . It almost seems that the scene described was deprived of time and space to be delivered to a landscape dream in which every single detail tends to praise the love that is understood as a force triumphant, element, this, that sends a number of references in the literature ranging from Greek and Latin literature to the Petrarchan. The figure of Venus, which is located inside the room, noted the reference to the culture of neo-Platonism, in which love is rightly regarded as the highest triumph of the soul. Within the docta varietas , the tendency to the variety of cultural traits, the police, in its rooms, then favors the powerful force of Love.
