The article analyses some Virgilian reminiscences found in the Creùsa sec- tion of Giovanni Giudici’s poetic collection Empie stelle (1993-1996). The aim is to highlight how the Virgilian echoes not only overtly refer to the episode of Creusa’s disappearance from Aeneid 2 (730-794) but also covertly hint at the related episode of Eurydice’s disappearance from Georgics 4 (453-536), showing how Giudici, as a careful reader of Virgil, designed a coherent allusive system that, through punctual references to the Latin source, links the fatal loss of his Creusa to that of Eurydice, and thus the desperate lament of his Aeneas to that of Orpheus.

Abstract
The article analyses some Virgilian reminiscences found in the Creùsa sec- tion of Giovanni Giudici’s poetic collection Empie stelle (1993-1996). The aim is to highlight how the Virgilian echoes not only overtly refer to the episode of Creusa’s disappearance from Aeneid 2 (730-794) but also covertly hint at the related episode of Eurydice’s disappearance from Georgics 4 (453-536), showing how Giudici, as a careful reader of Virgil, designed a coherent allusive system that, through punctual references to the Latin source, links the fatal loss of his Creusa to that of Eurydice, and thus the desperate lament of his Aeneas to that of Orpheus.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
