The article examines Luigi Meneghello’s use of dialect and its significance in his works. Meneghello navigates between standard Italian and the Venetian dialect to express memory and to preserve rural culture. Key works like Libera nos a malo highlight the dialect’s role in bridging past and present. The analysis underscores how Meneghello saw dialect as more concrete than Italian, reflecting tensions between official and spoken language. Ultimately, use of dialect becomes a form of cultural resistance and a means to preserve personal and collective identity.
