Abstract
Cervantes’ masterpiece Don Quixote was translated into Italian in prose in the 16th century by Franciosini and then a second time only in 1818 by Bartolomeo Gamba. In between, Italian readers could amuse themselves by reading some adaptations of the Spanish novel in verse. The focus will be the poems written by Nicola Limosino and Vincenzio Moreno at the beginning of the 18th century. The analysis of these poems will focus both on meter and linguistic aspects to stress the art of translation, rewriting and adaptation of Don Quixote into Italian verse.
