Francesco Filelfo and Beyond

Investigations regarding the figure of Francesco Filelfo continue on various fronts, encompassing linguistic aspects of his production, the network of his relationships, and the historical-artistic implications therein. One area of inquiry under consideration pertains to his relationship with medical tradition and his role within the development of satirical genres.

In line with the new project’s developmental trajectory, the digital framework of Re.Medi.Hum., has been established, housing two sections: Re.Phi.Lex. and Bi.Phi.V., which both incorporate and expand upon previous investigations in alignment with the development of the new digital platform. Consequently, lexicographical studies on the humanist’s production persist – with specific insights into the traditions evoked by the lemmas – alongside the reconstruction of the humanist’s Latin and vernacular library. In addition to the research efforts concerning the eponymous figure of the original project, numerous other lines of inquiry are being pursued within the realm of the Chair of Medieval Latin and Humanistic Literature at UniMC. Particularly noteworthy are the Umanesimo Adriatico and the ongoing seminars on Ricerche, racconti, letture associated with it; il nuovo Re.Medi.Hum., a digital space dedicated to the Medieval, Humanistic, and Renaissance periods; Adri.Hum., developed by Chiara Kravina, facilitated through collaboration with SISMEL and co-financed by a research grant under her purview; Tra.Ma.Bo., dedicated to the tradition and reception of Boccaccio in the Marche region between the 14th and 16th centuries, a doctoral project by Giorgia Paparelli within the framework of the Doctorate in Humanism and Technologies.
