I'm holding my reading of Dante, Ariosto and Petrarca for when I'm fluent in italian...
that's the only way to read poetry: to learn the language they were written in. Too bad I'm right now trying my best at french and latin... hopefully classic italian is closer to its roots.
Gotta admit the only modern italian literature name I'm used to is Umberto Eco. And, uh, Liberatore and Tamburini...
