Résumé
The arrival of Duke Francesco Sforza at the Congress in Mantua on 17 September was very important, since it demonstrated the cordial relations between the duke and the pope to the world and created a momentum which made it possible for the pope to effectively begin the deliberations of the congress. The duke was received solemnly in a papal consistory where the famous humanist Francesco Filelfo gave an oration of behalf of the duke, to which the pope replied with the oration “Grave illis”.
