- Title
The role of calligraphy in the Italian schools of modern times.
- Authors
Ascoli, Francesco
- Abstract
The history of calligraphy and its insertion into the cursus studiorum of Italian schools is rebuilt, starting from the end of the 18th century. The history of teaching calligraphy was connected in fact not only with the development of writing styles and instruments but - particularly in the Italian context - it was burdened with other issues also, such as the teaching of reading and writing, the learning of the national Italian language itself, and pedagogical issues more in general. Through a review of authors, writing styles, teaching methods and manuals, the history of teaching calligraphy in elementary and secondary schools is retraced as well as the development of a training course for teachers, from the pre-unification period to the Gentile's Reform, when a real calligraphic crisis began.
