Albius Tibullus Libri

Giovane amante della matura, bellissima Lesbia (alter ego della patrizia romana Clodia), Catullo (87-54 a.C.) ancor oggi famoso per l'eleganza deliziosa ed essenziale delle sue composizioni che raccontano gli alti e i bassi della sua storia d'amore. Passione, gelosia, sofferenza, rabbia, e ancora desiderio, estasi: il poeta descrive l'altalenarsi dei sentimenti sconvolti dall'incostanza della sua donna. Con uno stile essenziale e attualissimo, erede della raffinata civiltà letteraria alessandrina, Catullo ci apre una finestra emozionante sulla società romana di fine repubblica, sui suoi amori e sulla sua sensualità.

Catullus (84 54BCE) couples consummate poetic artistry with intensity of feeling. Tibullus (c. 54 19 BCE) proclaims love for Delia and Nemesis in elegy. The beautiful verse of the Pervigilium Veneris (fourth century CE?) celebrates a spring festival in honour of the goddess of love.
