Balboni & Neri

Index Colloquiorum:

Ermanno Neri (ob. 1951) was a teacher and priest in Siena. He was a close collaborator with Gaetano Balboni, with whom he wrote, in addition to these colloquia, a commentary on Lucretius' De rerum natura and a translation of the works of St. Basil the Great. Balboni also wrote a book of Greek/Latin exercises and a translation into Italian of the Historia Apollonii. Their colloquia are most notable for a focus on contemporaneous Italy, especially the rise of Italian facism, which they praise in elaborate propaganda. See the database of Latin Facist Texts.
