Chapter three is dedicated to a discussion of urban planning in the city of Rome. In addition to the detailed and careful description of the history of the exhibition and of the exhibition itself, Arthurs also sheds light on the mostly positive reception that it received from both the foreign press and the international scholarly community.
However, it was only around the mids that it fully gained ideological supremacy. After the proclamation of the Fascist Empire, ancient Rome became a huge reservoir with which political initiatives of any kind could be justified. Again, ancient Rome served as a model, when the promoters of the racial laws argued that the main cause of the fall of the Roman Empire was actually the demographic and moral deterioration of the native race Even though by the end of the s the cult of Rome was concretely and massively present, Fascist Italy was not supposed to be a reconstruction of ancient Rome.
In the conclusion Arthurs offers a survey of the Roman cult after Fascism. The main task of classical studies was no more to find a model or a premonition for the future, nor to celebrate the past. As such, it is an important contribution, especially for the English- speaking world. Publishers, Writers, and Readers. Publishers, Writers and Readers, the latest addition to the highly popular series Italian Perspectives by Legenda, the Modern Humanities Research Association, and Maney publishing companies, explores the major components of print media in Italy from the time of unification until WWI.
By way of thirteen essays that are divided into four subheadings, this anthology sheds light on the process of cultural production in Italy as social and economic transformations affected print media. He demonstrates that the progression of the print industry coincided with the creation of the new liberal State and the waning influence of the Church, and concludes that these institutions turned to print media to legitimize and disseminate their programs.
As Italy sought to standardize its currency with the lira, it had to reach beyond the monetary aspects and target the cultural meanings that were behind the various currencies. A Note on F. In chapter five, Billiani demonstrates how Florentine journals inserted themselves into the cultural debate on the role of the intellectual.
Her conclusion seems to suggest that Florentine intellectuals missed the opportunity to create a popular culture because they failed to develop a vocabulary that extended beyond the bourgeoisie, unlike fascist intellectuals in later years. In chapter six, Somigli recounts the unique role that Poesia had in advancing a new poetic tradition in Italy. Valisa shares with readers the editorial activities that made Sonzogno famous. She highlights three main areas in which the Sonzogno family invested: Salvadore explores the interest generated in Africa by focusing on the anthropological and sociological ideologies that governed SGI, and argues that SGI functioned differently from its European counterparts in that it focused on a shared religious experience instead of racial determinism.
She stresses that mass readership influenced the direction of literature, which encouraged publishers to create niche markets. As other authors have recognized the reader as a force in literature chapter 2 and the power of the female constituency chapter 4 , Frau continues on the same line of thought to demonstrate the full effect of the market in cultural production. The reader is introduced to the Palermitan magazine Flirt in chapter ten, a publication known for its appeal to high society and its use of the portrait. Flirt rivista di splendore e declino Primo tempo: Gragnani analyzes the text along with the visual components of the photographs, such as the pose, clothes, and jewels, all of which functioned as symbols for the class in question.
The last essay in this section demonstrates the role print media assumed in educating Italians. Adesso si tratta di fare gli Italiani. Giornale was known for its high quality illustrations and for its publication of the serial Pinocchio. As the article points out, the illustrations that made Giornale famous were overwhelmingly foreign, which indicated some of the struggles that the Italian print industry faced as Italy searched for a new generation of illustrators. This book is highly recommended for those who are interested in studies on media and modernity.
The scholars who have shared their research are well known for their contributions to Italian scholarship. Italian Perspectives has continued the tradition of making stimulating anthologies for the inquiring scholar as well as the classroom. The Cultural Memory of an Italian Prison. I narratori sono ex-detenuti, guardie carcerarie, il direttore, il cappellano, ma anche persone le cui esistenze sono state influenzate dalla prigione, medici, famigliari.
Are they spectators or creators of the past? Mentre il terzo si concentra sulle rivolte di carcerati e sulla loro soppressione, il quarto esamina il ruolo della Chiesa nella prigione. Il capitolo introduce anche una discussione comparativa del ruolo delle prigioni come spazio storico, confrontando le dimensioni carcerarie in Brasile, Irlanda del Nord, Stati Uniti e Sudafrica. The Italian in Modernity.
University of Toronto Press, This volume, following organically from their previous work, will reward the diligent reader who should be forewarned: With over pages of text and pages of notes fascinating in themselves , chapters are long and dense the first is over pages , and the authors require a reader well versed not only in Italian history and culture but literary theory and American literature as well. Italian Bookshelf reading lends fruitful insights into myriad ranges of interrelated subjects from Stendahl to Scorsese.
Equally important is the theoretical framing device of stereotypes and their inversion. The remaining six chapters deal not with Italy per se but its images and representations in America. For the more perceptive and sensitive writers and intellectuals, Italy served as a mirror. Since decline must end inevitably in death, or can it continue in perpetuity? These are fine and provocative essays, even if the theme of modernity is sometimes obscured. Perhaps a concluding essay might have rounded out the volume, ideally treating the thesis that Italy was postmodern before it was even or ever fully modern.
Bononia University Press, A Comprehensive, Interactive Course. For years Gaetano Cipolla has been the linchpin of a movement to preserve, study, and promote the language and culture of Sicily in the world. Since he has been the editor of Arba Sicula, and a year later became the dynamic president of the organization of the same name.
Continuing his mission on behalf of Sicilian language and culture, Cipolla has now produced an interactive grammar designed for the classroom but that can be used by anyone who wishes to learn the language independently. Learn Sicilian is a complete package. In his introduction, Cipolla states that his intention in writing this book was to teach students the four language skills: Italian Bookshelf lays out the grammar with easy-to-find verb conjugations, adjectives, pronouns, etc.
The use of each rule is amply illustrated with a rich array of examples, while exercises and dialogues assure mastery of the material. Cipolla faces the problem of morphological and phonological variations in the various Sicilian parrati head on by listing them early on in the text, while adopting a koine that is understandable to all Sicilians. Besides imparting a thorough knowledge of the Sicilian language, this book opens a wide window on every aspect of contemporary Sicilian life, and regales the reader with informative readings on the customs and traditions of the island, as well as on its geography, history, myths, cuisine, and literature.
To give one example, when an undertaker offers an extensive and expensive list of services to a bereaved family that just lost its patriarch, the grieving widow remarks that the family is lucky to be able to provide at least the corpse! In these readings we encounter the nymph Arethusa escaping unwanted amatory advances, Daedalus seeking shelter from the Cretan king Minos, Scylla and Charybdis terrorizing sailors, Polyphemus courting Galatea, Demeter searching for Persephone. Each provincial capital is given a profile rich in historical and cultural information.
This book is much more than a grammar. It is a treasure trove of information on the island defined by the American and British world famous classical scholar M. The loss of a single language is a loss for all humanity.

Atti del convegno, Firenze, marzo, Accademia della Crusca, Gli interventi presentati durante il convegno e raccolti nel testo affrontano la questione molto complessa ma estremamente affascinante della evoluzione della lingua italiana, simbolo linguistico di un popolo in un paese unito ma solo sulla carta e come questa lingua viene affrontata nel testo teatrale.
Ma quando si parla di adesione al reale come in De Filippo, o in Eduardo Scarpetta ma anche in Mimmo Borrelli o Vincenzo Salemme, oppure nei drammi di Annibale Ruccello, gli ambienti urbani e suburbani descritti e ritratti non generano una lingua teatrale piatta, ma piuttosto una cacofonia unica, vivace, multiforme che rende la lingua del teatro altrettanto vitale e mai costante o piatta. Italian Bookshelf generatore unico di un linguismo unico ma al tempo stesso variegato.
The title is somewhat misleading: Although the opening section is dedicated to the Middle Ages, the focus of the rest of the studies is the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, with particular attention to poetry and the role of literary journals. The volume is divided into seven chronologically sequenced sections.
The final study in this section looks at the myths of Beatrice and Laura as intersecting and profoundly marking European love poetry up to the pre-Raphaelites. In the first two articles Livi examines the imaginary of F. Marinetti, and his work as a translator and mediator between French and Italian poetry. The fifth and the sixth section are each dedicated to a single author: Italian Bookshelf emphasizes the range and variety of Italian twentieth-century literature, with its openness to European influences, but also its regional specificities.
This excellent volume, with its emphasis on early twentieth-century poetry and the role of literary journals in Franco-Italian exchanges, will interest comparatists and Italianists alike. Wittelsbach, Cornell University Massimo Riva. La seconda parte del libro si apre con il capitolo Postmodernismo letterario e riscoperta del tempo. Nel sesto capitolo, Gadda: Il settimo capitolo, Le frecce della mente: This panorama enables Salsano to show how, despite his relative distance from the main intellectual and literary circles of his day, Michelstaedter nonetheless participates in a shared tradition of vitalist thought.
In the second chapter, Salsano focuses on that connection to Pirandello, showing how both thinkers respond to similar forms of epistemological crisis, the mechanization of society, and the estrangement of modern social forms. The final two chapters shift from these expansive literary-philosophical comparisons to close readings of key moments from La persuasione e la rettorica. Italian Bookshelf relation with the avant-garde theater of the early 20th century. One wishes, if anything, that this argument were articulated at greater length.

Oxford University Press, Italian Bookshelf different national identities. This perspective is explored by each scholar through a comparative critical approach, which considers also different media, namely, literature, visual art, theatre, cinema and music. The second section is built on two main topics: Dante, Nationalism, and French Art c. This paper intertwines the late nineteenth-century activism of the African American poet, who politically reinterpreted the figure of Dante in the first poem of the trilogy titled The Seer, The Singer, The Sage, in light of the Italian Risorgimento.
Gli uomini di scienza e i dissidenti religiosi, come Galileo Galilei, Martin Luther e Giordano Bruno, sono precisamente i liberi pensatori e oppositori di tale indottrinamento dogmatico che furono immediatamente individuati dalla chiesa censoria come potenziali e pericolosi pedagoghi delle masse, le cui idee ed azioni rivali andavano boicottate fino alle estreme conseguenze, anche a costo di esercitare una sorta di tirannia ex-Deo. Le contaminazioni temute riguardavano gli innesti sulle preci sia involontari, dovuti a non contenute forme di irriverenza, sia volontari, determinati da elementi eterodossi desunti da ambiti dissidenti.
Vale citare Galileo nella sua invettiva in versi contro le pratiche censorie degli ecclesiastici, descritti, sarcasticamente, come i massimi bigotti ed ipocriti del globo terraqueo: Dante oltre la Commedia. Del resto il poeta era convinto di poter intervenire con il suo poema attivamente nelle vicende politiche coeve Tuttavia riproporre, oggi, il modello del poema dantesco implica una reinterpretazione globale della nostra concezione del vivere sulla terra.

As with John and Margaret Paston, the letters of Francesco di Marco Datini and Margherita are written during their absences from each other, Datini and Margherita playing box and cox between Prato, Pistoia and Florence while needing to provision at least two households at once, at the same time that Datini is constructing a third.

It is clear that literacy and the reading from the Books of Hours go hand in hand — both for herself and young girls under their roof p. He is much older than she, a bourgeois, marrying in Avignon in his forties the sixteen-year-old wife in a family of noble exiles from Florence.
They have no children between them but they raise Ginevra, his illegitimate daughter by the slave Lucia and she is married lavishly. We know — beyond the pages of this book — that their friend, the notaio Ser Lapo Mazzei tells Datini to share the story of St.
Birgitta of Sweden with her. What we have is like a Flemish interior painting of a woman with a letter, but instead with Mediterranean produce in Tuscany, a window into a full-rounded culture. Names still extant today in Florence such as Mazzei and Guadagni, are in its pages. She is both wife and competent business partner. The Sword and the Pen. Notre Dame University Press, The interdisciplinary approach Eisenbichler takes is bold, lucid, and informed. This approach frames the study and persuasively establishes the relevance of the poets under examination.
The work significantly contributes to our understanding of the dialogue that existed between learned men and literate women in sixteenth-century Siena. Thus he reconstructs her authorial and personal portrait through historical documents, letters, and literary works dedicated to her. The political verve permeating her sonnets suggests a fierce, politically engaged spirit.
By centering, on the one hand, on her poems and, on the other, on the ideological and cultural background that underpins her works, Eisenbichler affords his readers the pleasure of discovering a woman fully engaged on both the political and poetic fronts. Italian Bookshelf and thoughtfulness that define his analysis provide an invaluable perspective on the Sienese cultural, literary, and historical landscape. By engaging in poetic discourses not only among themselves but also with their male counterparts, these women effectively re-drew the contours of the long tradition of masculine poetic dominance.
Specialist and non-specialist alike owe particular thanks to him not just for breathing life into poets who share the same culture, hopes, and ideals, but also especially for translating into English their Italian poems. Elegant, accurate, and luminous, even through implied associations, the translations capture both imagery and meanings of the original poems. Le Muse del Calvario.

An appendix with the complete program of the International Boccaccio Conference follows the final section. In the spirit of full disclosure, I acknowledge that I have been a longtime member of the American Boccaccio Association, sponsor of the above- mentioned conference, and served for more than twenty years, starting in , as a regional representative for the organization. The first section on Boccaccio and the senses of taste, hearing, and smell follows and contains three essays: Olfactory Sensitivity in Dante and Boccacio. Ciabattoni, on the other hand, offers a comparatively sedate study, although not necessarily more scholarly.
Kleinhenz, well known for his wit and good humor, does not disappoint in the final essay of this initial trio. Devoted to the intersection of Boccaccio and Dante, the second section offers another triad of essays: The first two deal extensively with medieval manuscript traditions relative to Boccaccio and are clearly intended for specialists. Practical Philosophy in the Decameron. Migiel similarly warrants kudos for her excellent, close reading of Decameron 3.

Per Dante, quindi, la parola non si limita a descrivere la cosa in quanto tale, ma ne esprime allo stesso tempo il sentimento che nasconde. Idee, queste, che Dante elucida, ovviamente nel De vulgari eloquentia. Lo Spirito Santo si manifesta agli apostoli sotto forma di lingue di fuoco, e gli ascoltatori arrivati da regioni differenti si sentono annunciare la gloria di Dio, ciascuno nel suo idioma materno.
Il miracolo della Pentecoste, la divisio linguarum, appare come il momento finale dopo una lunga parentesi di peccato. Da questa affermazione, quindi, prende spunto il titolo stesso del saggio di Gambale. Desire in Dante and the Middle Ages. As set forth in the introduction, the papers were written not only by Dante specialists such as Giuseppe Ledda and Fabio Camilletti, but also by experts of other disciplines, such as art history Peter Dent and philosophy Paola Ureni , and by scholars working in other languages, such as French Bill Burgwinkle , German Almut Suerbaum and Annette Volfing and Latin Monika Otter.
The result is an interdisciplinary collection that focuses on the different notions of desire in the Middle Ages as seen in various fields that also encompass language, sexuality and subjectivity. Is it a losing of the self, or rather the discovery of a new and different one? Nevertheless, whatever the answer is, this experience does not remove the existence of desire itself. In fact, even though desire can be influenced by a meeting with the Divine, it never disappears; it represents a permanent goal, more or less evident in the different texts analyzed in this first part.
According to Burgwinkle, love represents for Dante a vital force, as it did for his predecessors Arnaut Daniel and Sordello. The four essays in Part 2, contributed by Peter Dent, Robert Sturges, Paola Ureni, and Marguerite Waller, concentrate on senses and intellect and on how they can be combined in order to generate desire.
Here, desire is identified as the result of a corporeal process — a process of the senses — and as something related to the field of knowledge. Finally, the five essays in Part 3 explore how desire and textuality can be linked to each other. In other words, desire and language are two inseparable entities, especially when it comes to the language of desire. According to Southerden, Petrarch is a poet who often denies the possibility of reaching God through poetry, of being reconciled to Him. To sum up, the volume is well organized and presents a wide array of contributors with varied specializations.
The collection benefits from its focus on Dante as well as on the broader medieval context. Extensive notes , a substantial bibliography , and a useful index conclude the volume. It deals with many tales in each of the ten days, even paying attention to each of the ballads sung at the end of each day: Next, the fundamental role of ingenium needs to be associated with two other key concepts: In fact, throughout their study, the Grudins point out that just as for Cicero, so for Boccaccio, too, rhetoric is essential for the building of a well-governed society — an important observation for the proper assessment of some very long tales or long speeches within the tales.
In the next ten chapters, as well as in the conclusion, the Grudins refine this succinct reading of the entire masterpiece. For, in fact, the tales of the first nine days record and chronicle the ongoing, pervasive, overall destruction of the old order, namely, of the medieval world and life view: Creating Magnificence in Renaissance Florence. Center for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, He was known for his wealth and his patronage of building projects in Florence. Italian Bookshelf the author relocates the origins of Florentine public discourse on magnificence by focusing on the years between , a full thirty years earlier than other scholars.
He argues that Florentines were learning that magnificence was a virtue, and that this view was influenced by mendicant preachers who worked with medieval texts and who influenced wealthy patrons in guiding them in their donations for building projects. Howard asserts that the very shape of Florence was related directly to preaching. Magnificence was a virtue of action, an action which required spending great sums of money to build imposing projects such as churches, chapels, hospices for pilgrims, hospitals and palaces that reflected the status of its leading citizens.
And it was the rich and powerful who could exercise the virtue and express their wealth for the common good and the glory of God. Aristotelian aesthetics had been gradually absorbed into Tuscan culture and the language of Aquinas was appropriated for sermons. Public speeches, including sermons defined, reinforced or created a shared culture for all the citizens, not just the privileged few or the literate. Chapter 3 explores the textual materials and doctrinal traditions preachers drew on. Paul and drew on an array of examples from the Bible and proverbs to prepare his sermons.
He adopted the work as a moral guide for expressing magnificence which was voiced in the piazzas and churches. The mendicant orders depended on the generosity of their wealthy patrons and had to court them. Antoninus had to deal with issues surrounding patronage at a time when Florence was undergoing an ecclesiastical building boom.
