Brief Definition

A Rispetto is a type of poem that is made up of two rhyming quatrains that follow a strict meter. This complete poem is structured with a meter that typically looks like the following: abab ccdd, although there are, of course, other variations that can be had as well. A rispetto often tells a tale or theme of Tuscan folklore, and can be considered a type of lyric within poetry; This can also be known as a variation of strambotto, which is also derivative of Italian verse within literature

As eluded to previously, this type of poetry originated in Italian culture, reaching its peak of popularity during the 14th and 15th centuries. This form of literature also proved to have quite a significant artistic effect on society at this point in time as well. In fact, many great Italian writers and poets composed rispetti throughout their lifetime. These include the work of Politian, who wrote somewhere around 200 different rispetti, as well as the work of Lorenzo de' Medici.

Our Beloved Teacher

Our Beloved Teacher
( Sonnetina Rispetto) 


Torch of knowledge from you we take
You hold our hands for our dreams sake
Values and love we emulate
Like dad and mom, you truly care
We grow in your nurturing grace
Your guidance gives us strength and faith
Torch of knowledge from you we take
You hold our hands for our dreams sake

You look after us the whole day
As we read, learn, dance, sing and play
Values and love we emulate
You guidance gives us strength and faith
Torch of knowledge from you we take
You hold our hands for our dreams sake
