Abstract
ABSTRACTThis analysis offers a state of the art examination of letters edited by the Spanish diplomat José Nicolás de Azara (1730–1804), who resided for years in Rome and Paris in the second half of the eighteenth century. In addition, it provides a new letter belonging to his correspondence with Giambattista Bodoni, the most prominent Italian typographer of Neoclassicism: Azara says goodbye to Italy and his beloved friend and artist. This new document illuminates the patronage practiced by Azara towards Bodoni; and the humanistic profile of their friendship is analysed and highlighted, which interprets it according to ancient models of the classical tradition such as those of Cicero or Seneca.
