How did our civilization come about? By constantly reclaiming the heritage of Greece and Rome. From political institutions to literature, from science to the plastic arts, from philosophy to Christianity, Europe's classical heritage is an inexhaustible treasure. Le Figaro Histoire returns in a special report to the sources of our culture. The best specialists explain how the Middle Ages and the Renaissance drew on the works of the past to feed on them and compete with them. They explore the many areas where the legacy of the ancients still shapes our intellectual universe as well as our daily lives. From Charlemagne to Michelangelo, from Dante to Jacqueline de Romilly, they revive the transmitters of knowledge between Antiquity and us.
