Tra spiritualità e cultura: Francesco Petrarca e il vescovo Ildebrandino Conti

Abstract

Ildebradino Conti, bishop of Padua and ambassador to the Court of Buda, was a close friend of Francesco Petrarca, who had been, since 1349, one of the canons of the duomo of Padua. This article, through the examination of Ildebradino's library and some of Petrarca's letters, in particular Fam. XV 14, aims at suggesting a way of researching new works of Petrarca.
