Description: Fabio Gatti illustrates the most important biography of Cicero of the 16th century, the Quaestura composed by the Venetian ecclesiastic and humanist Sebastiano Corradi, an imaginary dialogue between some learned men of the Renaissance, transposed in the late Roman Republic. Drawing on ancient (Plutarch, Cassius Dio, Appian) and modern (Bruni) sources, the dialogue rejects censure of Cicero along times and points to his moral integrity and intellectual level, depicting him as a vir sanctissimus, in tune with the pedagogic guidelines of the contemporary Counterreformation. [Berno & La Bua 2022, xvii]
