Abstract

Opening reflection of the monographic section At the Crossroads of the Mediterranean, devoted to the concepts of Humanism and the Mediterranean Renaissance. The authors trace some lines that may be common to the cultural evolution of the nascent nations bordering the Mediterranean in the 15th century, which found a point of reference in the rediscovery of classicism.
