\"Portrait
La Bella, Portrait by Titian, 1530s, Portland Art Museum. Model unknown.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Immaginiamo una giovane donna bella e sicura di s\u00e9: qualcuno direbbe spregiudicata.<\/p>\n

Dev\u2019essere incantevole quando canta o suona la viola da gamba, spesso insieme alla sorella Cassandra, nella casa materna di San Trovaso, vivace ritrovo di musicisti e letterati. Molti le offrono i loro versi, qualcuno anche il matrimonio. Ma Gaspara ama la sua libert\u00e0, quella amorosa e quella intellettuale, e si diletta a comporre sonetti che recita nei salotti della raffinata societ\u00e0 veneziana.<\/p>\n

Nata a Padova intorno al 1523, Stampa si trasferisce a Venezia con la madre e i fratelli dopo la morte del padre. Ben inserita nei colti circoli veneziani, \u00e8 ammirata per il suo talento poetico e musicale. Sia la madre che il fratello le permettono di esprimere liberamente la propria vivacit\u00e0 artistica, e in questo, la sua condizione \u00e8 diversa da quella delle sue coetanee.<\/p>\n

Gaspara si lascia pi\u00f9 volte travolgere dall\u2019amore. A casa del nobile Domenico Venier, incontra Collaltino di Collalto, aristocratico trevigiano, che al mestiere delle armi unisce anche la pratica della poesia. Se ne innamora dal primo istante, tanto che affida ai suoi versi il turbamento di quell\u2019incontro fatale: \u201cChe meraviglia fu, s\u2019al primo assalto, giovane e sola, io restai presa al varco,\u201d scrive in uno dei sonetti a lui dedicati.<\/p>\n

\u00c8 un amore coinvolgente, sostenuto anche dalla comune passione per la poesia. Collaltino, per\u00f2, pur affascinato da Gaspara, non ricambia del tutto i suoi sentimenti; occupato con la tenuta di Treviso e i rapporti con Enrico II di Francia, per il quale presta anche i suoi servizi di uomo d\u2019armi, si assenta spesso da Venezia.<\/p>\n

Lei si consuma nel tormento, e la consapevolezza di essere amata da altri uomini non la consola. \u201cEgli mi fugge, i\u2019seguo lui; altri per me si strugge\u201d; in tre frasi lapidarie, Stampa esprime il paradosso di amori che si inseguono senza mai incontrarsi, in un vortice di desideri e delusioni che risulta ancora pi\u00f9 amaro.<\/p>\n

Con lo stesso disincanto, si rende conto che l\u2019affetto di Collaltino \u00e8 debole: \u201cIo son de l\u2019aspettar s\u00ec stanca (\u2026) ed ei si vive lieto nei suoi colli\u201d. Quando Collaltino, dopo tre anni di relazione precaria, la lascia definitivamente, Gaspara \u00e8 travolta dalla disperazione:\u00a0\u201cDa indi in qua per me si trema e suda, si piagne, si dispera e si disia.\u201d

\nAmare di nuovo<\/p>\n

Eppure, inaspettatamente, dopo qualche tempo, Gaspara si innamora di nuovo:\u00a0\u201cun foco uguale al primo io sento\u201d, scrive in uno dei quattordici sonetti dedicati a Bartolomeo Zen, suo ultimo e pi\u00f9 stabile, pi\u00f9 gratificante amore.<\/p>\n

Presa da un rinnovato entusiasmo, la poeta confessa, in uno dei suoi sonetti pi\u00f9 celebri, che l\u2019amore \u00e8 per lei una condizione di vita: un fuoco che la nutre e la rigenera come quello della salamandra, con cui si identifica:<\/p>\n

Amor m\u2019ha fatto tal ch\u2019io vivo in foco,\u2028
\nqual nova salamandra al mondo, e quale
\n\u2028l\u2019altro di lei non men stranio animale,
\n\u2028che vive e spira nel medesmo loco.
\nLe mie delizie son tutte e \u2018l mio gioco,\u2028
\nviver ardendo e non sentire il male,
\n\u2028e non curar ch\u2019ei che m\u2019induce a tale
\n\u2028abbia di me piet\u00e0 molto n\u00e9 poco.
\nA pena era anche estinto il primo ardore,\u2028
\nche accese l\u2019altro Amore, a quel ch\u2019io sento\u2028
\nfin qui per prova, pi\u00f9 vivo e maggiore.
\nEd io d\u2019arder amando non mi pento,
\npur che chi m\u2019ha di novo tolto il core
\nresti de l\u2019arder mio pago e contento.<\/p>\n

Gaspara Stampa muore di febbre a soli trentun anni, nel 1554. Nello stesso anno, la sorella Cassandra cura la pubblicazione delle Rime, oltre trecento sonetti petrarcheschi in cui la poeta ha riversato i suoi sentimenti con grande immediatezza.<\/p>\n

\"Gaspara<\/a><\/p>\n

Solo con la riedizione del 1738 curata da un discendente di Collaltino, le Rime vengono riscoperte e riconosciute come un capolavoro della poesia femminile rinascimentale.\u2028Nonostante molta critica dell\u2019Otto e Novecento abbia trovato sconvolgente la schiettezza di Gaspara e abbia ritenuto che il suo stile cos\u00ec audace potesse provenire solo da una cortigiana, oggi, restituita a Stampa la sua dignit\u00e0 di donna colta e libera, si riconosce la felicit\u00e0 intellettuale con cui la sua scrittura celebra sentimenti come la passione e il desiderio, rendendoli legittimi anche per una donna e contribuendo a ridefinire il ruolo femminile nella letteratura rinascimentale.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
