The essay intends to outline some aspects of the human and intellectual relationship between Nicola Cusano and Enea Silvio Piccolomini starting from the experiences they shared during the lively initial phases of the ecumenical Council of Basel (1431-1449). Both represent, though on different operational planes, achievement of awareness of their epoch, that is to say the best of European humanistic culture that intervened, in a perfect blending of active life and contemplative life, to solve one of the most complex and dramatic political-cultural issues of the day.

Abstract
The essay intends to outline some aspects of the human and intellectual relationship between Nicola Cusano and Enea Silvio Piccolomini starting from the experiences they shared during the lively initial phases of the ecumenical Council of Basel (1431-1449). Both represent, though on different operational planes, achievement of awareness of their epoch, that is to say the best of European humanistic culture that intervened, in a perfect blending of active life and contemplative life, to solve one of the most complex and dramatic political-cultural issues of the day.
