by Roberto Regoli and Ilaria Fiumi Sermattei

The volume La religione dei nuovi tempi. Il riformismo spirituale nell'età di Leone XII (Spiritual reformism in the age of Leo XII), edited by Roberto Regoli and Ilaria Fiumi Sermattei, Ancona 2020, which highlights the fact that in the age of the Restoration the need for a radical spiritual reform emerged in a widespread and profound way. Leo XII turned to this yearning, which was part of the new romantic sensibility and widely felt in large spheres of the papal court and society, to take it as the distinctive sign of his entire pontificate. In this sense, Leo's approach invests political reflection and catechesis, religious orders and the clergy, liturgy, ceremonies and the figurative arts, themes examined in the volume through in-depth essays.
