Elogio dell’amicizia italo-francese, sia detto con retorica

Abstract: This paper starts from the relationship between the Universities of Strasbourg and Naples, based on the friendship between Laurent Pernot and the author of the paper, both members of the International Society for the History of Rhetoric. In this field of research, Pernot’s La rhétorique de l’éloge is a precious and seminal work. The rhetorical praise often involves the audience as object of the praise itself, with remarkable differences in the political experience.
