Pagan Virtue in a Christian World: Sigismondo Malatesta and the Italian Renaissance

2016 | Art, Photography & Fashion

In 1462 Pope Pius II performed the only reverse canonization in history, damning a living man to an afterlife of torment. What had Sigismondo Malatesta, Lord of Rimini and a patron of the arts, done to merit this fate? Anthony D'Elia shows how the recovery of classical literature and art during the Italian Renaissance led to a revival of paganism.
