Memory, or better the ability to memorise in an efficient way, may be also considered as a form of art. An art created by Greeks that was then passed to Rome and influenced the most recent western scientific-philosophical tradition.
According to Plutarc, the founder of the art of memory was Simonides of Ceos (556-468 BC). He discovered that the ability to think through images, typical of the art of poetry and painting, could be also applied to memory.
This is how the mental visualisation technique was born. The most powerful mnemotechnique able to improve the recalling capacity.
Aristotle certainly knew the ars memoriae. In fact, in his “De Anima” he cleverly understood how imagination was the connecting bridge between perception and thought and how mental associations play a critical role in the ability to remember.
However, the art of memory reached its maximum splendour thanks to the drive given by Neoplatonists during the Renaissance. These heights of fame were reached thanks to the remarkable studies carried out by Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, Giulio Camillo with his “Theatre of Memory”, the fundamental works of Giordano Bruno, until Matteo Ricci and his “Palace of Memory”.
