Abstract
On the occasion of Ferrero’s death Gigante pronounced a speech, now reprinted under the title The duty of the Master, in which he tries to represent the spirit which animates and characterizes his humanistic tradition: “Memory” means to voice the past, to include it in our thoughts and in our sensitivity. No civilization could survive without forgetting and remembering in turn. In our civilization the humanistic, historical, philosophical, literary studies carry on this function. It must be remembered now his militant philohellenism, devoted to a deep understanding of all its phases, from ancient Rome to contemporary poets, practised in his lectures, in his translations, in the attentive outline of important figure of scholars, and which he lavished on the school, on scientific societies, on centres of research, on cultural institutions.
