Italian term

allitterazione a cornice

Italian to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature
L’esemplificazione sembra, quindi, volutamente imprecisa e presuppone una puntuale conoscenza dell’opera ovidiana, come testimonia anche la tecnica di variare il modello con il modello: il v. 9 Caenida convertit proles Saturnia Consus evoca (anche per l’allitterazione a cornice) il verso con cui è introdotta la storia di Caenis

No problem with alliteration, of course, and I found this once simply left in Italian. Any other ideas would be very helpful though.

Thanks in advance.
