The analysis will deal with the most important satirical and mock-heroic authors in Europe: Tassoni, Boileau, Pope and Parini. The purpose is to prove how the satirical element is an essential part of the genre invented by Tassoni. In the second part of the paper we will try to demonstrate that the satire becomes the main mode of the comic in mock-heroic poems after the Secchia rapita. By analyzing chronologically, the most representative works, our article proposes a reflection about the genre and the evolution of its characteristics during almost two centuries.
