poetry that focuses

I couldn't find a translation into Italian online. In case you can do some
research at an academic library, here's a bibliography in which there are a
couple of translations:
dear friends,
I have written a novel due to be published in Germany in July 2000 in which
Virgil's VIth song of the aeneid and the Internet play an important part. As
I am reworking part of the novel I would like to know where I can find an
Italian translation of the whole Aeneid in the web.

Earlier today I unfortunately deleted a posting from Colin Burrow that, as
an aside, questioned the use of the word pungency in discussing the
effectiveness of poets' word choices. Mr. Burrow's squib had something to
do with the olfactory associations of pungency. Though a minor point, it

Does one want a faithful reproduction of the Latin, almost a 'key'? -
which acts as a kind of decoding of the original? Or does one say, OK,

I'm with Randi on this one. The Latinisms don't bother me, but the couplets
do: not because I don't like rhyme, but because Dryden's couplets tend to
reduce everything that's said or done in the poem to a pithy little

I'm going to read the Aeneid in English for the seond time after having
