The international conference “‘Or ne vous semble plus estre chose merveilleuse que Ferrare soit ici’: Thinking, Imitating, and Translating Ariosto and Tasso in France” will take place from May 29 to 30 at Palazzo Pompei, the seat of the Verona Natural History Museum (Lungadige Porta Vittoria 9, 37129 Verona). The event is organized in memory of Elio Mosele, distinguished Rector of the University of Verona, a scholar of French studies and President of the Group, who passed away prematurely, and is organized and chaired by Professor Rosanna Gorris Camos from our department and Daniele Speziari (University of Ferrara).
The 22nd International Conference of the French Renaissance Study Group aims to examine the translations and major imitations of the works of Ariosto and Tasso in France, with particular attention to translations of theatrical texts, Franco-Italian networks, and the materiality of texts. The initiative is part of the PRIN PNRR 2022 project Revisiting and E-mapping Theatre Translations of Ancient and Modern Classics in 16th-century France (research units in Verona and Ferrara) and of the DHT Digital Humanities Theatre project of excellence.
