In his constant striving to reproduce the metre and, whenever possible, the rhymes, he distinguished himself from the dominating trends of poetry translation in Italy, prescribing the use – and abuse – of vers libre even for metrical and rhymed poetry. Raffo translated poets who still used traditional versification like Jan Kochanowski (a true masterpiece is his translation of Kochanowski’s „Pieśni – Odes)”, Adam Mickiewicz or Bolesław Leśmian, but also XXth-century poets like Czesław Miłosz, Zbigniew Herbert or Wisława Szymborska, among whose works he selected and translated the poems which present a certain metrical regularity. A.M. Raffo’s lesson was followed by several other translators of Polish poetry in Italy.polAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Międzynarodowehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Poetic translationmetre in translationrhyme in translationcreative transpositionKochanowskiprzekład poetyckimetrum w przekładzierymy w przekładzietwórcza transpozycjaarticle10.15584/tik.2020.2
