It traces Sassolo's academic journey from his early studies under Francesco Filelfo through his time at Guarino Guarini's school to his final years at Vittorino's school in Mantua. The research explores the significance of classical education in the Renaissance and Sassolo's contributions to overcoming the challenges of his time, including language acquisition and the pursuit of knowledge.
