Program
Title: The mundanization of the mystic love as formulation of the modern paradigm in Bembo and Castiglione.
The course wants to reach a new definition of Renaissance by recovering the tradition of the mystic love from Plato to the Christian tradition and in particular to the Courtly Love in the Italian Trecento. In the 16th century Pietro Bembo in the Asolani and Baldessar Castiglione in the Cortegiano give a new meaning to this tradition and transform it into a new ideal of man and ruling class that will result to be the foundation of modernity.
