This experimental research arises from Beccaria’s studies 2 and explores the musical apparatus of a poetic composition through methods of instrumental Phonetics. The study focuses on the prosody of Congedo del viaggiatore cerimonioso read by Giorgio Caproni. The approaches are qualitative and quantitative: from the analysis of the author’s reading, the observation has been extended to other eleven voices, different at a professional and diachronic level (contemporary poets, radio speakers and actors). Listening represents the start of the research, combined with the observation of oscillograms and spectrograms and their annotation using Praat. However, the sound data is always related to the textual data, by identifying the main trends in melody and prosodic segmentation. The study, in addition to highlighting considerable speech variation, reveals aspects of Italian poetry that have always been neglected and are now available, thanks to a quantitative method. The work wants to be also a starting point for “VIP - Voices of Italian Poets”, a project dedicated to original and contemporary readings of of Twentieth Century Italian poems, accompanied by linguistic annotations at different levels.
