COMBA MAURO
He is the President of the “Michele Ginotta” study group in Barge, for which he has organised a symposium of poetry in the closed forms of the Italian tradition since 2004.

He has brought to light ancient texts from the local literary tradition: two 18th-century mock-heroic poems (“Avventure di Barge”, 2004; “La partita del tavolasso da Barge a Bibiana”, 2023), a 16th-century laud (“Alli sancti Innocenti”, 2006) and a 15th-century troubadour poem by Amedeo Malingri (2007).
