Event's Flyer
The Italian Program is inviting Dr. Armando Maggi (University of Chicago; https://rll.uchicago.edu/armando-maggi) to campus next week. His talk will take place on Monday, April 4, at 6 p.m. in Gearhart Hall, room 026, and will illustrate "The Cultural and Literary Significance of the Seventeenth-Century Italian Intellectual Lucrezia Marinella."
Lucrezia Marinella was the most versatile and thought-provoking writer of the Italian baroque. Her work spans numerous literary and philosophical genres, such as epic poetry, pastoral novel, treatises on mystical enlightenment influenced by Florentine Neoplatonism, numerous lyrics on religious themes and hagiographies in prose and verses. However, her most famous text is the ground-breaking treatise The Nobility and Excellence of Women and the Defects and Vices of Men in which she proposes a proto-feminist approach to modern culture.
