Grozio in Italia nel 'lungo Seicento'
P. 111-134
- This article aims to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the circulation and reception of the works of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) in the Italian states in the ‘Long Seventeenth century'. It starts by examining the early contacts of Grotius with the Church of Rome during his Parisian exile, and then moves on to investigate the impact of some of his works, including the Annales et Historiae de Rebus Belgicis (1612), De Iure Belli ac Pacis (1625) and his Annotationes to the Old (1644) and New Testament (1641, 1646, 1650), on the political and scholarly debates of the Italian Peninsula.
- Based also on the comparison with the unparalleled reception of Grotius in England, this article argues that if the ‘Catholic' Grotius constitutes the most peculiar result of the Italian reception of the Dutch thinker, it is also true that his works, albeit widely diffused in the Peninsula and appreciated both by men of letters and by exponents of the civil society, met neither the institutional and cultural contexts nor the historical, political and religious circumstances suitable for promoting a more profound impact on the Italian culture of the long seventeenth century.
