Abstract
The essay proposes a critical analysis of some of the latin poems addressed by Ludovico Bigo Pittorio, a poet native of Ferrara, to Giovanni Pico della Mirandola, taken from the poetic collections Candida (1491) and Tumultuaria carmina(1492), which have never been modernly edited, focusing on the texts of metapoetic subject. The essay also aims to reconstruct an exchange of poems between Pittorio and Pico, starting with the analysis of the only known epigram addressed by the count of Mirandola to Ludovico.
