Abstract
In the first five sonnets of her canzoniere (Difesa de le rime et prose, TPQ 1569),
Speranza di Bona (1536- ?) ‡ a poet of Ragusan origin, born in Manfredonia - offers an
idealized portrait of the city-state of Dubrovnik. This paper presents a close reading of
the aforementioned poetic texts and explores the function they perform within the
collection, analyzing in particular the ways in which the sonnets comply with the mythic
depiction of Ragusa promoted by the ruling elite, faithfully echoing, for instance, the
patriciate’s ideological preoccupation with the city’s Epidaurian origin and the emphasis
on its political and social excellence.
