L’uomo+universale

The idea of l'uomo universale sprang from the development of individualism. Individualism encourages a sense of self and potential and urges you to fulfill that potential. Close to the meaning of "virtu," a l'uomo universale is a renaissance man. He is culturally literate and well-rounded. Also, he applies civic humanism, taking his skills and applying them to society. This man is committed to civic participation. From the Christian perspective, knowledge adds to the making of a l'uomo universale.
