Abstract

In 1966 Franco Fortini publishes the essay Due Avanguardie in which he tries to provide a brief historical and aesthetical comparison between the Avant-garde of the twenties and the italian Neoavanguardia mainly represented by the Gruppo ’63. The year after Tito Perlini replies with another essay accusing the poet of being too conditioned, in his criticism, by the Hegelian and romantic influences. Fortini insists in 1968 subverting Perlini’s statements and reaffirming his preference for Marxist humanism and dialectical classicism. I will comment those texts to show how what could have been a simple disagreement between intellectual implies indeed the deep theoretical confrontation between Adorno and Lukács on the topic of subversion in the work of art, also considering that both Fortini and Perlini use those theories to read social struggle in Italy in the Sixties, particularly the facts of 1968.
