Over three decades after Venanzio Fortunato tra Italia e Francia (Treviso, 1993), and more than twenty years after the international conference Venanzio Fortunato e il suo tempo (Treviso, 2003), this new collective volume seeks to reassess the field of Fortunatian studies. Born in Duplavenis – today’s Valdobbiadene – between 530 and 540, and educated in the Byzantine Ravenna reconquered by Belisarius, Venantius Fortunatus left Italy around 565 to travel to Merovingian Gaul. Whether moved by a vow to Saint Martin, as he himself wrote, or by the hope of literary success in a land that still revered the prestige of Latin culture, Fortunatus found there both recognition and enduring fame among kings, aristocrats, and bishops. He eventually settled in Poitiers, near Queen Radegund’s monastery, where he later became bishop and died in the early years of the seventh century. A poet of transition between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, Fortunatus inherited the refined literary legacy of the classical world while inaugurating the long and fertile season of medieval Latin poetry. His works – ranging from hagiography and panegyrics to personal and occasional compositions – bear witness to a new synthesis of classical form, Christian content, and Merovingian political reality. His influence extended far beyond his own time: from the epitaph written for him by Paul the Deacon to Dante’s citation in Inferno XXXIV, Fortunatus was received as a model of elegance and poetic mastery. Bringing together leading scholars from Italy and abroad, this volume presents new research on Fortunatus’s language, style, theology, intertextual networks, and artistic legacy. Opening new paths of inquiry, the essays collected here illuminate the poet’s central place in the intellectual history of early medieval Europe and trace the continuity of his reception from Late Antiquity to the Modern Era.
