Abstract
This assay updates the stages of the friendship flourished in 1796 between Foscolo and abbot Meneghelli. A short-lived season, which will lead, in 1824, into open dispute concerning the autenticity of two letters of Petrarch. Within this cultural and human journey, the controversial identification of the Dantean portrait, which seemed to seal the initial phases of their association, will be solved.
