Concettismo was a literary movement in 17th century Italy and Spain that emphasized cleverness, wit, and paradoxes in writing. The word “concettismo” is Italian for “conceitism

Conceptismo (literally, conceptism) is a literary movement of the Baroque period in Spanish literature. It began in the late 16th century and lasted through the 17th century, also the period of the Spanish Golden Age.

Conceptismo is characterized by a rapid rhythm, directness, simple vocabulary, witty metaphors, and wordplay. In this style, multiple meanings are conveyed in a very concise manner, and conceptual intricacies are emphasised over elaborate vocabulary.
