1 hr confidence: 
symbolist vein full of nostalgia Explanation: "A symbolist vein" seems to work fine for me but the meaning of "elegia" here is a bit mysterious. Nostalgia seems to fit at least one aspect of elegy and also works nicely with that particular painting so it could be an option if you feel like straying that far from the text. I stray all the time :) |

a symbolist, lyrical flair Explanation: I think that here "full of elegia" stands for "full of pathos, lyricism"...Italians ;-) Just an attempt. Hope it can help |

a symbolist stance which is rich in sentimentalism Explanation: Ercole Sibellato invece approfondisce una vena simbolista piena di elegia In contrast, Ercole Sibellato explores a symbolist stance which is rich in/OR full of sentimentalism Sentimentalism and an elegiac tone are often seen together in literature-see example below: Sentimental motifs (the natural idyll and melancholy contemplation, for example) first appeared in the poetry of J. Thomson (The Seasons, 1730), E. Young (Night Thoughts, 1742–45), and T. Gray (Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, 1751). An elegiac tone and patriarchal idealization are inseparable in sentimentalist poetry. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2016-03-01 21:51:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- some examples which use stance : this interpretation presents decadence as a negative reaction to naturalism and parnasianism, in contrast to the positive stance of symbolism Versus Falsehood," which proposes a "symbolist" stance ... If the interview is read in this light, D'Annunzio appears to assume a Symbolist stance, at least with regard to basic terms, Reference: http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Sentimentalism |
