  Dolce Stil Novo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dolce Stil Nuovo (Italian for 'The Sweet New Style') is the name given to the most important literary movement of 13th century Italy.
Compared to its precursors, the poetry we find in the Dolce Stil Novo is superior in quality and more intellectual: a more refined poetry with rampant use of metaphors and symbolism, as well as subtle double meanings.
The importance of the Dolce Stil Novo lies in the fact that apart from being the manifestation of the first true literary tradition in Italy, it nobilitated the Tuscan vernacular, which was soon destined to become the Italian national language.

Guinizelli was the creator of the dolce stil nuovo (“sweet new style”), an expression used by Dante in The Divine Comedy to describe the delicate language necessary for writing about the subject of love.
In this style the poet did not exalt the worldly, fashionable type of love cultivated in the courts of princes, as in Provençal and Sicilian love poetry.
Dante and the other poets of the dolce stil nuovo, notably Guido Cavalcanti and Cino da Pistoia, made it one of the great schools of Italian poetry.

The film's title, a Fellininian amalgam of the Vita Nuova and the dolce stil nuovo, creates an initial link to Dante's earliest experiment in pseudo-autobiography, suggesting that the promise of conversion in the Vita Nuova, in Marcello's world is still confused with the erotic poetry of the dolce stil nuovo.
From Sylvia of La Dolce Vita to the "she wolf" of Roma, pagans of a distinct past, from a distant memory, are the divas of this created city.

Explain to students that Dante Alighieri was born in 1265 in Florence, then a virtual city-state and perhaps the wealthiest mercantile center in the world.
Dante began his career as a love poet, one of a group who developed a "new sweet style" (dolce stil nuovo) for the Tuscan language by following the example of the Provencal troubadours in poems on the mysteries and ecstasies of courtly love.
By 1295, however, Dante had entered into a political career, rising to become one of the city's leaders, only to find himself banished from Florence under sentence of death in 1302 when a rival faction rose to power.

For Guinizelli (the "founding father" of the dolce stil nuovo), a new emphasis on an ethical and spiritual nobility of heart as a prerequisite for love; idolatry, although a concern, is finally excusable because the lady is a true (allegorical) reflection of God's glory and perfection.

Utilizing the meters and forms of popular poetry (for example, the Ballata), the Laudesi repertoire draws on the direct simplicity of popular theatre, translating it into a religious language of powerful emotional force.
