Abstract

The two dense volumes of I Marmi , edited by Carlo Alberto Girotto, Sorbonne Nouvelle’s maître de conférences , and Giovanna Rizzarelli, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa’s researcher, establish an important step in the process of studying Anton Francesco Doni’s role in 16th century Italian literature. In fact, since the last decade of the 20th century, this Florentine polygraph has been receiving renewed critical consideration. In addition to the editorial attention deserved by some of his works, critical studies have been conducted, often arranged in books of proceedings, which have become significant contributions to the study of his complex literary personality.
