«Legne al bosco e gocciole al mare»: la retorica dell’«Agnesa da Faenza» di G.C. Becelli

The contribution tries to show the effectiveness of combining the two levels of the language of use and of the literary language in the "Agnesa da Faenza" of Becelli. The aim is to highlight the peculiar way in which the author sets up the performance of the word, because this is mainly the characteristic feature of its comedies. its originality lies not so much in the choice of themes, nor in the way of representing them, but rather in the ability to shed new light on trite ways of saying and foreseeable dialogical or structural paradigms that are here highlighted.
