Radio Papesse

Ottava rima is a rhyming stanza form of Italian origin. It is an interesting historical, anthropological and literary phenomenon, a popular literature genre. Ottava rima is rooted in the metric-rhythmic structure of chivalric poems. Nowadays, improvised singing keeps its narrative tension thanks to the creativity of extemporaneous poets who continue to improvise their rhymes.

I rapper della tradizione: i poeti a braccio was awarded the Special Mention at Premio Canevascini RSI in 2009.
