La fedeltà di Dante a Moroello

From the book Le lettere di Dante

  • Giuliano Milani

Abstract

The article reads the fourth epistle giving particular importance to its addressee, the Marquis Moroello Malaspina. It reaffirms the identification of the latter with Moroello di Manfredi di Giovagallo on the basis of historical and genealogical research. It explores the relationship between this lord and Dante stressing three elements: its political coherence (only briefly interrupted); its peculiar “court” character; its better compatibility with the imperial project built around Henry VII than with the Guelph one led by Florence.
