Sprezzatura '스프레차투라'
스프레차투라(Sprezzatura, 1500년대 이탈리아의 문학가이자 정치가인 카스틸리오네(Baladassare Castiglione)에서 기원한 단어로, 노력하고 신경 쓴 사실을 드러내지 않는 일종의 가장된 무심함, 아무리 힘들어도 무심하지만 세련되고 우아하게 표현해내는 방식을 뜻한다.
Sprezzatura is an Italian word originating from Baldassare Castiglione's The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as "a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it". It is the ability of the courtier to display "an easy facility in accomplishing difficult actions which hides the conscious effort that went into them". Sprezzatura has also been described "as a form of defensive irony: the ability to disguise what one really desires, feels, thinks, and means or intends behind a mask of apparent reticence and nonchalance".
