Abstract

Speranza, an Italian-French rapper, in recent years has made a name for himself within the new
Italian dialectal rap scene. His music portrays life in the Campania province of Caserta with a style that is reminiscent of gangsta rap reworked to be both ironic and irreverent. This article analyzes a corpus of six songs released by the campanian artist on YouTube between 2017 and 2019. The description of a harsh reality, implemented through a particular verbal violence, is the main feature of his rap music, interesting both on a textual and musical level.
