The term Goliardia refers to a traditional university student association in Italy. Around 80 associations of this type exist in all parts of the country (2002). These associations have a structure similar to the medieval knights’ orders. However in these Academic Orders the sword was represented by the art of dialectic. One of the Prince of Goliardia is now living in Seattle, his name is Lorenzo Mannelli. He was the Gran Maestro of the Sovrano e Commendevolissimo Ordine di San Salvi. He also lived in Manhattan, NY between 2007 and 2010, where in conjunction with two other Italians in 2010 he founded the Ordo Moshettieri Manhattiensis. This represents to our knowledge the first Goliardic Order of Italian origin in United States. The Goliardi (the members of Goliardia) refer their origin to Peter Abelard (Latin: Petrus Abaelardus or Abailard) a medieval French scholastic philosopher, theologian and preeminent logician.
