Rule reminder
Italian literature uses pure, neppure, finanche, and persino for emphasis. Addirittura appears occasionally in narrative. Mica is absent from formal literature. The concessive pur + gerund (pur sapendo, pur volendo) is a key literary structure.
What literary effect does 'finanche' add in: 'Finanche i poeti tacquero dinanzi a tanta bellezza'?
