Ariosto, the Orlando Furioso and English Culture
2019
Marking the fifth centenary of the publication of the first edition of the Italian masterpiece, Ariosto, the Orlando Furioso and English Culture brings together an international team of Renaissance scholars from a wide variety of disciplines to analyse in detail the diffuse impact which the epic poem had upon English culture from the Tudor century to the present day. Translated into English in the 1590s by Sir John Harington, godson of Elizabeth I, the influence of Ariosto's poem can be traced in literature, music and the visual arts, from Spenser and Milton to modern media adaptations. In addition, the collection reflects upon the ways in which successive editions and translations, example…

Nel labirinto della notte

Il testo analizza le fonti letterarie e la drammaturgia dell'opera "Notte per me luminosa" (soggetto/testo di Dario Oliveri - musica di Marco Betta), realizzata su commissione del Teatro Comunale di Modena nell'ambito delle celebrazioni del 500° anniversario della prima edizione dell'"Orlando furioso" di Ludovico Ariosto. Nella parte conclusiva vengono affrontati alcuni problemi legati alla nascita del melodramma e al problema della "mancanza di naturalezza" e del rapporto con il tema aristotelico della "verosimiglianza".

From Emperor to Pawn: Charlemagne in the Orlando Furioso
2023
In Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso (1516, 1521, 1532), Charlemagne is mentioned in the very first stanza of the poem (line 8) and gives the historical background to the poem’s matter. The carolingian context of the poem’s paladins has always been given for granted and related to the matter of arms as opposed to the connection between the matter of Britain and loves: therefore, Charlemagne’s name is chiefly associated to the most epic and official moments in the narrative – he takes action to solve the contest between Orlando and Rinaldo (1.7), giving birth to the narrative machine of the poem, prays the Christian God before the battle (14.69), fights valorously at the siege of Paris (15-…

Ariosto’s Religion
2022
To many readers of Orlando Furioso, Ariosto appears to be essentially disinterested in religious matters, a poet who thinks religion and morality should be kept away from literary creation. However, in this paper I will argue that Ariosto, far from being a-religious, or even un-Christian, was deeply engaged with contemporary religious debates. And without understanding this, it is impossible to comprehend Ariosto’s historical location. The author of a 1498 letter to Aldo Manuzio, where he requested Marsilio Ficino’s hermetic books on behalf of his fellow ferrarese literati, Ariosto needs to be read against the background of his own culture: he was walking the roads of Ferrara when Savonarol…
