When an Italian writer speaks of the grammatica del mondo, they are not talking about linguistic rules, but rather the 'logic' or 'inner workings' of how the world functions.
Despite the strictness of grammatica normativa, many Italian writers intentionally break these rules to create licenza poetica, or poetic license, which is highly valued in the culture.
The Italian word grammatica is a cognate with the English 'grammar', as both derive from the Ancient Greek grammatiké tékhnē, meaning the 'art of letters'.
