Abstract

Giovanni Garuti is the “product of the school of Bolognese Latin scholars”. The Department of Classical and Medieval Philology (now Department of Classical Philology and Italian Studies) wants to pay homage to him through his works which contributed to give fame and prestige to this institution. Garuti was a refined expert of Latin, with knowledge also of Greek. He wrote original contributions to the knowledge of Latin grammar, which does not have to be "followed for his rigid rules" but for its "stylistic features". He stated: "Grammar comes from texts, it does not impose itself on texts". His research sector was philology, accurate study, critical edition and text commentary. Virgil, Ovid, Propertius, Claudian, to whom Garuti's fame is linked, are only some of the authors he dedicated his studies and energies to. He was keen on school and Latin teaching. He was a brilliant scholar, but also philologist of critical editions and linguistic phenomena: a really polyhedral and complex figure.
