abstract="This essay analyzes the spiritual emblema present in the first complete edition of Angelo Grillo's Lagrime del penitente (Naples, Stigliola, 1594): a crucifixion accompanied by the couplet: &quot;Sani piaga di duol, piaga d'errore, / e diano gli occhi medicina al core&quot;. It is important not only to note the model of these verses, hitherto passed over in silence (Gerusalemme liberata, XX 125), but also to reflect on the different function of wit in the two different contexts: Grillo is introducing a collection of poetic paraphrases of the seven penitential psalms, while Tasso represented Armida's desperation in love with Rinaldo, won on the battlefield and now close to suicide. Finally, the subsequent appearances of this ecphrastic epigraph are analyzed, separated from the original Christological image; and some of his multiple shots and conceptual variations are analyzed within the Lagrime and Pietosi affetti. © Quaderns d'Italià.
