Abstract

The article analyses with a critical method Ficino’s commentary on some texts by Guido Cavalcanti, highlighting the philosopher’s ‘errors’ in reading and the consequences that such errors had in the configuration of the aesthetic paradigm of the Renaissance. The relationship between Cavalcanti and Dante is also considered, with regard to the same texts interpreted by Ficino.
