Riflessi e ombre nel Mar Bianco

Overview & Synopsis

The present volume is based on the Third Meeting of Italian Turcologists held in Venice in 2022, and is dedicated to the Turcologist Giampiero Bellingeri. The topics revolve around Bellingeri’s research interests, in particular the contact between the Ottoman-Turkish world and Europe, involving various disciplines, such as literary studies, history, linguistics, sociology, and art history. In addition to a contribution by professor Bellingeri himself, the volume contains thirteen chapters written by friends, colleagues and pupils, which explore various historical periods, from the fifteenth century to the present day, in which the multiple intercultural exchanges that characterise the rich relationship between Europe and the ‘Orients’ took place.
