This research aims to realize a critical reading of the work of the Italian poet Andrea Zanzotto through the perspective of the Lacanian Real. What is Lacan’s Real? The real is a domain that is outside language, “that which resists symbolization absolutely” (Lacan). The work is composed of three parts. In the first one, we shall go through the poetical itinerary in order to describe the relationship of the poet with the fundamental object of his poetical universe: the landscape. In the second part, entitled Textual analysis, we shall verify the hypothesis of the first part on four single texts, describing particularly the typical unstructured textuality of Zanzotto’s poetry. In the last part, we shall both pay attention on Zanzotto’s idea of reading and on the idea of the paratext. At this level, the analysis shows us the changes of the structural shapes facing the void and the lack of meaning from another point of view.
