Description
Atti del XIX Certamen Vergilianum . Giornata di studi virgiliani
Here they see the light of the proceedings of the Virgil's Day of Studies annexed to the XIX Certamen Vergilianum of the "G.B. vico "of Nocera Inferiore. Even this year, despite a thousand and ever increasing difficulties, we managed to keep alive the tradition of an event that now boasts a long and consolidated history. The academic director, Prof. Teresa de Caprio and Prof. Maurizio Grimaldi must be given credit for the perfect organization of Certamen.
For the Study Day, a heartfelt thanks go to the university colleagues, who promptly joined my invitation, giving rise to a very intense morning of work. Their interventions appear noteworthy for the undoubted scientific rigor, but also for an opening towards innovative perspectives in the study of the ancient, both on the side of the adoption of unconventional methods of investigation, both for an evident adhesion to an approach to texts. Ancient that follows the complex and multiform events of fortune / reception over time. It is nice to see how, despite the difficulties and a certain progressive downsizing that the teaching of the languages and the classical civilizations have known for some time, we have managed to keep faith in a cultural event that is also an act of trust and a bet on the future of the humanities, whose perennial vitality must be recognized and reiterated, even in the necessary adaptation, as regards the approach to their study, the changed cultural and environmental conditions. In short, we want to demonstrate that tradition and innovation, if well mixed together, can coexist, provided that there are, by all the forces in the field, an absolute commitment and dedication, not separated from competence and constant updating of contents and methods. all this was effectively reiterated by a dense speech by the director of the department of humanities at the University of Salerno, Prof. Sebastiano Martelli.
