The course takes part of the core educational activities of the Master's Degree programme in Italian Philology and Literature, as the second part of two (ECTS course 6, total ECTS 12).
This course offers a solid specialised training in the study of Italian literature, by an approach to an importante author, though he is not too much studied as a man of letters, like Lorenzo de' Medici the Magnificient. At the end of the course, students would be able to explain carefully the texts of Lorenzo de' Medici, to identify formal and topic peculiarity of them, to link these texts with other Italian and classical texts.
To be admitted to this course students must possess a good knowledge of Italian ancient language and of Italian literary history of the XIVth-XVth centuries.
Lorenzo de' Medici the Magnificient as a man of letters (second half).
In the second half of the course teacher will take on lectures and commentary of Lorenzo's texts.
