It opens an inquiry in the fields of linguistics, rhetoric, didactics, stylistics, literature in general (forms, genres, themes, schools, movements...), based on the notion of “latinitas”. The semantic drifts from both a civilizational and an ideological perspective lead to an unprecedented confrontation of values, peculiar to our time, involving transmission, inheritance, identity, mixing and conviviality.
