| Abstract: | Gardini shares his deep love for Latin and encourages us to engage with a civilization that has never ceased to exist, because it's here with us now, whether we know it or not. Even readers without a single lick of Latin grammar can discover how this language is still capable of restoring our sense of identity, with the power that only useless things can miraculously express |
