In my research, I take up the questions of Ovid’s relationship to his poetry and the rethinking of exilic motifs and poetic motifs through the lens of exile. Throughout the Tristia, in particular, Ovid illustrates a complex series of questions on why he writes in exile. He writes, “What have I to do with you, little books, my unlucky obsession, I, wretched, who was destroyed by my talent?” Ovid provides two direct answers to his own question: first, writing brings him comfort in exile, and second, it keeps his name alive in Rome. I explore how Ovid adapts the motif of poetic immortality to the exilic motif of exile as death and employs the act of writing as a resistance to Augustus.

Il lavoro è dedicato alle prime nove elegie del quarto libro dei 'Tristia' di Ovidio, scritto durante la sua relegazione a Tomi tra il 10 e l'11 d. C. Il testo è accompagnato da un apparato critico selettivo, che si concentra sui problemi testuali più significativi, discussi nel commento per lemmi delle singole elegie, che affronta tutte le questioni contenutistiche, stilistiche, lessicali e filologiche. Il commento alle singole elegie è preceduto da un'introduzione che discute i temi portanti del singolo componimento. Apre il lavoro un'introduzione generale, che mette in luce architettura e temi più significativi del quarto libro anche in rapporto agli altri libri della raccolta, oltre a ripercorrere la storia della sua tradizione manoscritta e della sua fortuna editoriale. Chiude il lavoro un'ampia e aggiornata bibliografia. / The work is dedicated to the first nine elegies of the fourth book of Ovid's 'Tristia', written during his relegation to Tomi between 10 and 11 AD. The text is accompanied by a selective critical apparatus, which focuses on the most significant textual problems. These issues are discussed in the commentary on the elegies, which addresses all the thematic, stylistic, lexical and philological issues. The commentary is preceded by an introduction that discusses the main and peculiar themes of the elegy. The work includes a general introduction, which highlights the architecture and the most significant themes of the fourth book also in link with the other books in the collection. It also examines the history of its manuscript tradition and its publishing success. An extensive and updated bibliography closes the work.
