The Berenson Lectures at I Tatti:

Friendship, trust and fidelity in Renaissance Florence

Dale Kent (University of California, Riverside)

13 March: Framing Friendship

This lecture will consider how classical, Christian, and civic cultures shaped Florentine practice and perceptions of friendship, trust, and the language of love.
 

15 March: Making Friends
This lecture will explore how, where, and why Florentines formed friendships, and represented these associations in actions, images and words.

 

20 March: “Test your friend a hundred times before you trust him”
The title is a quotation from Giovanni Morelli’s Ricordi, epitomizing what has been called the “agonistic” nature of Florentine society. This lecture will look at groups of friends in moments of crisis or trial, in which friendships were tested, proved, failed or endured.
