Firenze, Oxford e ritorno

The volume collects the letters that Marquis Roberto Ridolfi (Florence, 1899-1991) exchanged with two English academics, Cecil Roth and Cecil Grayson. The international success of Ridolfi’s work, was so important that it earned him the prestigious Oxonian degree: the mediators of this success were the “two Cecils”. Both professors at Oxford, they had deep relationships with the Marquis: the first was his lifelong friend, fellow student and longtime collaborator; the second, Italianist student of Carlo Dionisotti, was the translator of his work for the English audience.
