Parental Relations in the Middle Ages: An Exceptional Case, Cristine De Pizan

Essentially, the transformations that have affected parents over time have characterised the father-daughter, mother-daughter dyad. Christine de Pizan, Italian excellence in the world, is as important for historical purposes as for reflecting on the pedagogical un-derstanding of family dynamics. The paper highlights the role of the writer’s father and mother, pointing out that these were decisive in the author’s development of her tal-ent. While remote through the centuries, the parental relationship characterising the de Pizan family is revolutionary with respect to the Middle Ages. An example that could teach: a relationship with one’s parents and with the world.Keywords: Christine de Pizan, family, father, mother, Middle Ages.
