The worskshop is based on one of the projects of the CARMEN project (Communal Art – Reconceptualising Metrical Epigraphy Network (CARMEN) A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Innovative Training Network (ITN) funded within the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (Horizon 2020). The project ESR 10, that is The Carmina Latina Epigraphica of Rome Preserved in the Manuscript Tradition. As recorded by Chrsitin Rochlithze on the CARMEN website, “During the Renaissance and Humanist period, the interest in antiquity did not embrace all “ancient” materials. Indeed, scholars discussed quality criteria and selected objects and texts they wanted to be connected with in future commemoration through their writing. Manuscript studies and the study of former and contemporary excavations, of collections and museology will explore a common issue: the background of selection processes. Composition and selection criteria of the manuscripts’ authors will be considered, and different factors (living conditions, region, older manuscripts etc.) affecting the base of knowledge will be researched”. Among her objectives, there is the “analysis of the Carmina Latina Epigraphica of the city of Rome up to Late Antiquity as presented and contextualised in the manuscripts of later periods, from the Renaissance period to the humanists”. My contribution was divided in this way : After a presentation of Ligorio’s works and activity as a forger, my workshop was conceived as a dialogue with the young resaerchers from the CARMEN project around a powerpoint with inscriptions transmitted by Ligorio including some carmina Latina epigraphica, most of them considered as forgeries because transmitted only by here attached.
