Canti (poetry collection)

Canti is the Italian plural of "canto," meaning "song" or "poem," and is often used to refer to a collection of poems, especially those of a lyrical or narrative nature. While not a specific, universally recognized title for a single, well-known poetry collection, the term evokes the concept of a compilation of poetic works.

The term "Canti" suggests a collection characterized by musicality and expressiveness. A poetry collection titled or described as "Canti" would likely contain poems intended to be read aloud or even sung, emphasizing rhythm, rhyme, and emotional intensity.

The term does not have a single author or specific historical context associated with it; rather, it functions as a descriptor indicating the nature of the poems within the collection. The term's frequent use in Italian suggests a connection to Italian literary tradition, though it could be applied to poetry collections in other languages as well.
