Who was: Essayist and historian of literature
Vita: San Ginesio, 11 January 1911 - Macerata, 11 April 1998
Description: Of irregular cultural formation, essentially self-taught, interrupted his studies in 1922, he took them back a decade later, becoming in the 1942 owner of Italian letters, Latin and history in the Magistral Institutes. Mayor of San Ginesio since June 1956 to November 1960, he dedicated to school and to literary and historical research, his entire existence, arriving at the presidency of the Liceo-Ginnasio “G. Leopardi” of Macerata and teaching History of Popular Traditions and History of Literary Criticism in the Faculty of Letters and Philosophy of the local University.
Passionate and diligent scholar of the Middle Ages, he was also an attentive and authoritative critic of Foscolo, Parini, Monti, of the romantic age, of local history and literature. A large range of cultural interests cultivated with extreme passion, with methodological rigor and with always renewed enthusiasm.
Among his many contributions to historical and literary studies, a volume, in particular, it emblematically summarizes the liveliness and extension of the author's cultural interests: Literature and History, (Napoli, G. Greco 1992). The book, packed and locked six hundred pages (it includes contributions very far in the years), despite an apparent heterogeneity of contents (it goes from Laurentian rhythm to Middle Ages by Umberto Eco), they are wide-ranging; on the other hand, all of Allevi's writings enjoy a cultural and scientific depth that is hardly questionable if his literary or historical criticism has included the method, the theoretical figure that drives it has been discovered, it has been carefully assessed in working practices that do not neglect any aspect, even marginal, research. And that method, In short, it can be traced back to the documentary need that supports and solidifies the critique of ideas which allow a value judgment without convenient covers, without sagging and camouflage.
Historical or literary, this criticism that comes from afar, from the critique of the ideas of the romantics, from the erudition of the positivists, from the never forgotten lesson of Crociana, is critical of involve, if you want, of to compromise, certain of the total commitment of the critic who claims freedom and autonomy of intellect and conscience, a commodity now rare in today's cultural landscape. A broad argument follows, devoid of the distress of contemporary specialists, enriched and comforted by a cultural ease that reads and interprets documents and facts and apparently distant things, disparate; argument supported by the guiding idea, corroborated by the massive intervention of meticulous bibliographic references, precious, sometimes intrusive and preponderant; the result of many readings: historians and theorists of history, men of letters and literary theorists, artists and art theorists, the small and large, the least and the greatest of erudition and criticism. No page, in the many writings of Febo Allevi, is an exception to this methodological framework which seals the scientific value of the research.
To literature, and to some of his poets in particular, Allevi devoted serious and passionate studies.
Already in 1948 a monographic work, Ugo Foscolo (C.F.L.I.), revealed a particular predilection for authors and works of the romantic area; In the 1955, for New Italy, public Vincenzo Monti, a book in which one advances reading certainly innovative by the poet of Alfonsine, officially far from the romantic fire, “but not insensitive to the jolts of the European soul”. And the Monti delle Lessons from Pavia, will open five years later, the lucky volume Texts of romantic poetics (Marzorati).
In 1965, in the atmosphere of the celebrations for the seventh centenary of Dante's death, Allevi gives the prints a complex and densely articulated volume, With Dante, the Sibyl and others; from the ancients to the vulgar (Scientific and Literary Editions): vast vast panorama of unexpected issues and problems: culti, legends, pre-Roman Italic myths, the advent of the vulgar, the Carte fiastrensi, the knightly tradition, the Act, the Castra song, the Commedia and the Marca d’Ancona and more.
In 1970 Allevi publishes the very rich volume Fortune and legacy of Parini (Monnier) real rediscovery of the poet from Bosisio.
He will conclude his life as a scholar by dedicating to San Ginesio the last book, Liberty and Belle Époque from a provincial viewpoint (1997). A precious book, exquisite, last homage to his native country, narrated within the great warp of European civilization at sunset. A country, si badi, with the history of an era, not with his chronicle; a story where even the marginal or curious annotation reveals in the author's pen the difference between who tells the facts and who instead, in the narration of the facts, reveals and reaffirms values.
Beyond the scholar, remains the discreet man, reserved and shy. Febo Allevi belongs to that group of eminent Marche people who, with the studio, intelligence, the fruitfulness of one's work, fidelity to the inalienable values ​​of tradition, in every age they have honored and made the Picenian region famous.
