Summary: "Nuovi studii sul genio vol. I (da Colombo a Manzoni)" by Cesare Lombroso is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the psychological and biological characteristics associated with genius, using historical figures such as Christopher Columbus and Alessandro Manzoni as subjects of analysis. Lombroso investigates the intertwining of genius and mental health, exploring how various psychological traits may impact the creative processes of these prominent individuals. At the start of the volume, Lombroso introduces his examination of the nature of genius through a critical lens, arguing that genius often coexists with certain neuroses and psychological conditions. He first discusses Columbus, portraying him as a complex character whose erratic behavior and impulsive decisions may hint at underlying psychological afflictions. Lombroso then transitions to the examination of Manzoni, emphasizing his physical attributes and psychological traits while pointing out anomalies that reflect his neurotic tendencies. This opening serves as a foundation for Lombroso's broader exploration of the relationship between genius and pathology, inviting readers to reconsider their perceptions of artistic and intellectual brilliance in the context of mental health.
