Abstract
The essay deals with two sonnets taken from Giusto de’ Conti’s Estravaganti, characterized by an unusual sensual streak. Through the tools of stylistic and intertextual analysis, it confirms the authorship of Giusto and tries to place them within the development of Conti's poetry. The result is an even richer portrait of the poet than previously revealed.
