This article wants to focus on Cicero’s portrait offered by Giuseppe Rensi (1871-1941), who surely does not aim at a rigorous or perfect philological reconstruction, but rather seeks to insert Cicero as the corner stone in a sort of peculiar (and original) long history of ‘Italian skepticism’ as well as to present him as an ancient alter ego, and accordingly as a perennial model of the strong opposition to any form of totalitarian dictatorship, whatever it may be, namely either the winning Caesarism in Rome at the end of the I century B.C.E. or the suffocating twenty years of Mussolini’s fascism in Italy in the first part of the XX century.

Abstract
This article wants to focus on Cicero’s portrait offered by Giuseppe Rensi (1871-1941), who surely does not aim at a rigorous or perfect philological reconstruction, but rather seeks to insert Cicero as the corner stone in a sort of peculiar (and original) long history of ‘Italian skepticism’ as well as to present him as an ancient alter ego, and accordingly as a perennial model of the strong opposition to any form of totalitarian dictatorship, whatever it may be, namely either the winning Caesarism in Rome at the end of the I century B.C.E. or the suffocating twenty years of Mussolini’s fascism in Italy in the first part of the XX century.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
