The course proposes a literary journey, from the Middle Ages to the present day, on the literature of "marvel", freed from the stigma that wants it to be an intellectual minority of those who are startled by what does not have the logical tools to understand and returned to the already Aristotelian meaning of thauma, astonishment towards the numinous mystery of existence. The itinerary will move between narrative prose and lyric poetry, with particular attention to the twentieth century. The intent is to make people appreciate in the "specialized language" of the literary text the centuries-old experimentation and sedimentation of a rhetoric of allusive communication, which exhausts itself in transcending its own limits to express the radically "other", i.e. what goes beyond the logical and communicative categories of the “ego”. The stages of the journey will be:

- Aphasia, cry and glossolalia in front of the Unknown

- «Bellu e radiante cum grande splendore»: prehistory and history of the Cantico di frate Sole by Francesco.

- «Come un incantamento»: the marvelous in Occitan and Oitanic courtly literature

- The unexpected gift: the grace of the woman in the work of the Tre Corone

- Marco Polo's exotic Catai of Milione.

-Caterina and the others: the poetics of abandonment in female mystical poetry

- Among woods and enchanted palaces: magic and the "meraviglioso cristiano" from Boiardo to Torquato Tasso

- «È del poeta il fin la meraviglia (…): chi non sa far stupir, vada alla striglia!»: Giovan Battista Marino and the Baroque conceptualism

- "Nocturnal" fairy tale and pedagogy of metamorphism in Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio

-Like " cosa posta sotto gli occhi di tutti, e che nessuno vedeva ": the fanciullino and seer of Pascoli.

- «La limpida meraviglia / di un delirante fermento»: poetry as research for Giuseppe Ungaretti.

- «Guardare con sguardo che ignora il risaputo e vede ora»: the cure for wonder in the poetry of Livia Chandra Candiani.

- «Io credo questo: le fiabe sono vere»: the Italian fairy tales of Italo Calvino

- The starry sky above me, and within me: the inner infinity in twentieth-century poetry
