Abstract

The article focuses on the poem "Barunissa di Carini" whose fragments were collected by Salomone-Marino between 1867 and 1814. The poem is about an adulterous Renaissance noblewoman, Laura Lanza who was murdered by her own father. The poem is said to reflect a possible written folkloric material. "Di La Signura Laura Lanza Signura di Carini," a poem with the same subject as the "Barunissa," is presented. Its relation to Barunissa is also discussed.
