Dante e i due Guidi. Con Marti fra sodalitas, antagonismo e ideologia

According to Mario Marti in the elite cenacle of the new Florentine poets the initial sodalitas with Guido Cavalcanti delivers the image of a dynamic Dante in the reworking-adaptation to the 'aristocracy of the heart' on Guinizelli's intuitions. The first friendship with Cavalcanti fades irremediably in the season following the prosimeter Vita nova. The critical-cultural awareness towards Guittone pushes Dante to a higher degree of development also towards Cavalcanti, who is less open to confident forecasts, as he sees himself in «heavy weight» under the irrational blows of Love. With equal and speculative poetic force the 'other Guido' is radically opposed to Dante's thought, but Cavalcant's 'matter' is, after all, the one abandoned by Dante. Dante's thought is forged in the interventions of life, in the res publica, between clashes and pleasure of encounters: from 'petrose' rhymes up to the role of prior and up to the moral compositions Dante's disposition is less distant compared to his stylnovistic experience, which is crystallized in a moment, but that comes back condensed and distilled in the mature Dante. The figure of Beatrice returns and she comes true to a higher height: she is reworked and intimately repurchased through the confrontation with a larger life. Beatrice is fully realized for Dante, inside and outside Dante, as subsumed from yeast to supreme synthesis.
