Il maestro di Rosmini

Abstract

The present paper is intended to highlight the figure of the Roveretan priest Pietro Orsi and the important role he played in the education of the young Rosmini. Through the study of the most significant stages of Orsi’s professional career as a teacher we want to search for traces of a long-term educational influence on Rosmini. This can shed light on the intellectual qualities of Rosmini, that were not only cultural, spiritual and moral but also had a decidedly scientific character.
