«Quod tibi damno est, avertere stude». Enea Silvio Piccolomini e l'amore ricusato

Main theme of the epistle written by Enea Silvio Piccolomini to his Milanese friend Ippolito Porro in 1446 is the hominis conditio, which runs through Piccolomini's entire production in various ways as evidence of the constant restlessness of his soul and the deep desire to anchor himself to absolute values. Commonly known by the title De remedio amoris, this epistle is in fact a small treatise in which the particular occasion - the request for a cure to combat the disease of love - suggests to the humanist a broader reflection on a theme dear to the treatises of the time, that of the uncertainty and fragility of the human condition, and thus highlights the cultural, literary and ethical interests of Piccolomini himself. The text is analysed through the filter of the Ovidian source, the Remedia amoris, an expression of the elegiac system with an erotic theme.

埃内亚·西尔维奥·皮科洛米尼（Enea Silvio Piccolomini）于1446年致米兰友人伊波利托·波罗（Ippolito Porro）的书信，核心主题为人类处境（hominis conditio），该主题以多样形式贯穿皮科洛米尼的全部创作，印证了其灵魂始终躁动不安，且深切渴望锚定绝对价值。这封书信常以《论爱的疗愈（De remedio amoris）》为题为人熟知，实则为一篇短篇论著：其创作契机源于友人请求寻得疗愈爱欲之法，这一特定情境促使这位人文主义者对当时论著中常见的主题——人类处境的不确定性与脆弱性——展开了更广泛的思考，同时也凸显了皮科洛米尼本人在文化、文学与伦理层面的志趣。本文将以奥维德（Ovid）的原作《爱的疗愈（Remedia amoris）》为参照视角，该作品是带有情欲主题的挽歌体创作的代表。
