Abstract

The individual interdisciplinary contributions presented in this volume are
brought together in order to reflect on the recurrent issues that emerge in
terms of the influence of the Medieval and Renaissance on Italian cultural
identity. The papers presented here, which range from literary studies to art,
are used as a springboard for a discussion of whether we can convincingly
talk of the unequivocal influence of Neomedievalism and the Renaissance on
the cultural movements of today’s and yesterday’s Italy. By rethinking the
stereotypes and generalisations commonly held about these time-periods we
may concurrently revaluate the implications of our own gaze onto that past
which forms the basis of our future.
