This study aims to underline the opinion of Giovanni Botero, the author of The Reason of State (1589) and of the main opus Relazioni universali (1591) about universities and their cultural function in Europe. It introduces an hypotethical parallel between Erasmus of Rotterdam, and his itinerant career all over the continent, and the Counter-Reformation intellectual Giovanni Botero, a jesuit until 1580, to see how the universities were considered into their education. Both of them were restless intellectuals, both of them used to travel and know different academic contexts. A focus on Botero’s opinions regarding the Studia of his time offers some hints of reflections about the cultural system and the crucial link between instruction and economic prosperity.
Questo studio mira a mettere in luce l’opinione di Giovanni Botero, l’autore del Della ragion di Stato (1589) e della grande opera Le relazioni universali (1591), riguar- do le università e la loro funzione culturale in Europa. Si introduce un ipotetico parallelo fra Erasmo da Rotterdam e la sua carriera europea, e l’intellettuale della Controriforma Botero, gesuita fino al 1580, per vedere come le università abbiamo influito sulla loro for- mazione. Entrambi furono intellettuali instancabili, entrambi furono soliti viaggiare ed entrare in contatto con diversi contesti accademici. Un focus sulle idee di Botero circa gli Studia del suo tempo offre qualche spunto di riflessione sul sistema culturale e sul legame cruciale fra centri d’istruzione e prosperità economica.

Abstract
This study aims to underline the opinion of Giovanni Botero, the author of The Reason of State (1589) and of the main opus Relazioni universali (1591) about universities and their cultural function in Europe. It introduces an hypotethical parallel between Erasmus of Rotterdam, and his itinerant career all over the continent, and the Counter-Reformation intellectual Giovanni Botero, a jesuit until 1580, to see how the universities were considered into their education. Both of them were restless intellectuals, both of them used to travel and know different academic contexts. A focus on Botero’s opinions regarding the Studia of his time offers some hints of reflections about the cultural system and the crucial link between instruction and economic prosperity.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
