Resumen de All’ombra di un’amicizia. Percorsi di circolazione libraria fra Italia e Francia, e viceversa, nella seconda metà del Cinquecento
This essay is about Giovanni Andreozzi, a merchant of Lucca who lived between Lyon and Paris and was a close friend of a famous man of letters, Blaise de Vigenère. Andreozzi, to whom Vigenère dedicated the Trois Dialogues de l’Amitié (1579), acted as a ‘cultural intermediary’ and favored the spread of Italian literary works in France. He translated from French into Italian a work of Vigenère’s, Images ou Tableaux de platte-peinture (1578). Back in Lucca, his intention was to print this work, but he was unable to do so.
