EDITORS COMMENTS

The book, originally written in Italian by Castiglione, is a timeless masterpiece that explores the ideals and behaviors of a perfect courtier in Renaissance society.

His insights on manners, conversation, and personal conduct have continued to resonate through centuries. This photograph from Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this literary milestone.
