Lombard line

Last updated

Lombard line (Italian : Linea lombarda) is the name of an artistic movement that developed in Northern Italy, particularly in the region of Lombardy, at the end of the 19th century and flourished during the first three quarters of the 20th century.

This literary movement was named by Luciano Anceschi in his anthology Linea lombarda (1952), which included published and unpublished works by several authors.

History

The term Linea lombarda comes from a set of themes and authors, in which a typically Lombard “ Weltanschauung ” is combined. Thus, the authors of late romanticism, Scapigliatura and symbolism, futurism and magic realism are all represented.

During the 1950s a group of writers, poets and critics (who were linked to the definition of the Lombard line) was formed. The group met at the Blue Bar in Milan, in Filippo Meda square. Among them were Luciano Erba, [1] Vittorio Sereni and Piero Chiara. [2]
