L’amore, le armi, le stelle
Basinio da Parma and the Humanists at Sigismondo Malatesta's Court
Edited by Gabriella Chisena Edited by Federica Rossetti Edited by Simon Smets
Basinio da Parma (1425-57) stands out as one of the most distinguished intellectuals at the court of Sigismondo Malatesta (1417-68). Celebrated for his elegant Latin verse and exceptional erudition, Basinio was not only a sophisticated writer of elegiac, epic, and didactic poetry, but also a passionate advocate for Greek language and literature in Renaissance Rimini. His work embodies the humanist ideals of his age and became a crucial element of Malatesta’s policies. As a cornerstone of Sigismondo’s courtly propaganda, Basinio’s poetry left an enduring mark on the artistic and literary life of fifteenth-century Italy. L’amore, le armi, le stelle contains essays by leading scholars across the fields of literature, philology, and art history to shed new light on Basinio’s legacy and the vibrant world of the Malatesta court. Reflecting the renewed scholarly attention to this pivotal figure and his network, the present volume offers a deeper understanding of the richness and complexity of one of the Italian Renaissance’s most fascinating cultural milieus.
