The 22nd International Conference of the French Renaissance Study Group, entitled “‘«Or ne vous semble plus estre chose merveilleuse que Ferrare soit ici»: penser, imiter et traduire l’Arioste et le Tasse en France” concluded with great participation. The conference was held from May 29 to 30 at Palazzo Pompei, home of the Verona Natural History Museum.
The event also served as an important moment of reflection in memory of Elio Mosele, distinguished Rector of the University of Verona for the academic years 1999–2004, a scholar of French studies and President of the French Renaissance Study Group, who passed away prematurely.
The 22nd International Conference, organized and chaired by Professor Rosanna Gorris Camos of our department and by Daniele Speziari (University of Ferrara), offered highly engaging insights into the study of translations and major imitations of the works of Ariosto and Tasso in France, with a particular focus on translations of theatrical texts, Franco-Italian networks, and the materiality of texts.
