EDITORS COMMENTS
Onofrio Panvinio (1529-1568): A Pioneering Italian Antiquary and Historian This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity of Onofrio Panvinio, an Italian antiquary and historian whose groundbreaking work bridged the gap between the Renaissance and the modern era of historical research. Born in Perugia in 1529, Panvinio was a prolific writer, researcher, and collector of ancient inscriptions, coins, and artifacts. His extensive knowledge of ancient history and classical literature made him a sought-after advisor to popes, cardinals, and other powerful figures of the time. Panvinio's innovative approach to historical research combined meticulous scholarship with a deep appreciation for the material culture of the past. He was a pioneer in the use of epigraphy, or the study of inscriptions, as a means of understanding the history of ancient civilizations. He also made significant contributions to the fields of numismatics, archaeology, and topography, leaving a lasting impact on the study of ancient Rome and its legacy. Despite his many accomplishments, Panvinio's life was marked by tragedy and hardship. He lost his wife and several children at a young age, and was forced to flee Perugia during a violent uprising. Nevertheless, he continued to work tirelessly, producing a vast body of scholarship that remains influential to this day. This portrait, likely taken in the latter half of the 16th century, captures Panvinio in the prime of his scholarly career. His intense gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply engaged in the pursuit of knowledge, while the books and ancient coins that surround him attest to his deep commitment to the study of the past. Panvinio's legacy as a pioneering antiquary and historian continues to inspire scholars and collectors around the world, making him a true icon of the intellectual and cultural history of Italy.
