  • The Thyroid in Art
    THE THYROID IN ART Luigi Massimino SENA Clinical Pathology Faculty of Medicine University of Turin (Italy) 1 TAKE ART AND PUT IT IN SCIENCE Art and science are different aspects of human creativity. Over the centuries, artists have made use of the expressive power of images to awaken both emotions and empathy, which are often universal. 2 The thyroid gland (tireos, oblong "shield" , but which in reality meant big stone used as a door or for shutting the wooden door: cover, defend with the shield) is located in a part of the human body, i.e., in the neck, making it clearly visible in the throat when enlarged (goiter from Latin guttur). The prevalence of goiter was already known in ancient times, but the writings that described it were almost always devoid of explanatory drawings. The representation of the goiter is illustrated in the numerous depictions of goitrous men, women and children in coins, sculptures, paintings, simple craft objects and even in forms of folklore that involved persons not engaged in the medical art. The depictions were the works of artists living in endemic areas, or of travelers who illustrated the reality they encountered. The size of the goiter has always provoked amazement or fear, feelings that are associated with the mystery surrounding its origin and function. Over the centuries, it has stimulated the imagination of people, while at the same time it has paved the way to understanding the historical relationship between disease and society (pathocoenosis). 3 PATHOCOENOSIS In 1969, Mirko Drazen Grmek (1924-2000) created the neologism pathocenose or pathocoenosis , that is a “community of diseases”: “the collection of pathological states present in a given population in a certain time and space”.

  • Goiters in the Renaissance, Vesalius, III, 1, 23 - 32,1997
    Goiters in the Renaissance, Vesalius, III, 1, 23 - 32,1997 Goiters in the Renaissance F. G. Vescia and L. Basso Summary Enlargements of the thyroid gland known as goiters appear in artworks and artifacts of many cultures. They are represented in sculptures, bas-reliefs, masks, waxes, mosaics, bronzes, stained glass windows, paintings and drawings of the last two millennia. These are described in several monographs and in Merke's scholarly History and Iconography of Endemic Goitre and Cretinism (Barbieri 1993, Gianpalmo and Fulcheri 1988, Gianpalmo 1992, Medvei 1982, Merke 1984). Most numerous among these works are the portrayals of goiters in paintings and drawings of the Renaissance. This essay lists eleven additional Renaissance artworks in which goiters are represented, as well as reviewing reasons for this occurrence and examines the unusual case of Piero della Francesca. Résumé L'augmentation de volume de la glande thyroide, appelée goître, apparaît dans l'art de nombreuses cultures. On les trouve dans les sculptures, bas-reliefs, cires, bronzes, vitraux, peintures et dessins des deux derniers millénaires. Ils ont été décrits dans plusieurs monographies ainsi que dans l'Histoire et Iconographie du Goître Endémique et du Crétinisme de Merke (Barbieri 1993, Gianpalmo and Fulcheri 1988, Gianpalmo 1992, Medvei 1982, Merke 1984). Souvent ces goîtres apparaissent dans la peinture et les dessins de la Renaissance. Cet article mentionne onze exemples peints ou dessinés pendant cette période, il aborde la cause de leur survenue et s'interroge sur le cas insolite de Piero délia Francesca. Goiters in History |n t h e s e c o n d c e n t u r y AD, Galen referred to goiters as bronchoceles, bronchial dilatations.

  • Hotel Villa Delle Rose ****
    HOTEL VILLA DELLE ROSE **** Novara (Nuàra in the local dialect) is the capital city of the province of Novara in the Piedmont region in northwest Italy, to the west of Milan. With c. 105,000 inhabitants, it is the second most populous city in Piedmont after Turin and it is the second urban area of the Region Piedmont with 190,000 inhabitants. It is an important crossroads for commercial traffic along the routes from Milan to Turin and from Genoa to Switzerland. Novara lies between the rivers Agogna and Terdoppio in northeastern Piedmont, 50 km from Milan and 95 km from Turin. Roman walls in Novara Novara was founded in ancient times by the Romans. Its name is formed from Nov, meaning "new", and Aria, the name the Cisalpine Gauls used for the surrounding region. Ancient Novaria, which dates to the time of the Ligures, was a municipium and was situated on the road from Vercellae (Vercelli) to (Mediolanum) Milan. Its position on perpendicular roads (still intact today) dates to the time of the Romans. After the city was destroyed in 386 by Magnus Maximus for having supported his rival Valentinian II, it was rebuilt by Theodosius I. Subsequently, it was sacked by Radagaisus (in 405) and Attila (in 452). Under the Lombards, Novara became a duchy; under Charles the Fat, a countship. Novara came to enjoy the rights of a free imperial city. In 1110, it was conquered by Henry V and destroyed, but in 1167 it joined the Lombard League. At the end of the 12th century, it accepted the protection of Milan and became practically a dominion of the Visconti and later of the Sforza.

  • Lombardia Barocca
    INTRODUZIONE di Simonetta Coppa L’età di Federico Borromeo, continuatore della “grande riforma” di san Carlo È opinione concorde della storiografia che nel 1595 l’ascesa alla cattedra arcivescovile di Milano di Federico Borromeo, erede, pur con un diverso, diplomatico atteggiamento di prudente moderazione, della politica pastorale, liturgica e culturale intrapresa con intransigente rigorismo dal cugino e predecessore Carlo, coincida con l’aprirsi di una straordinaria stagione figurativa i cui esponenti maggiormente qualificati sono il Cerano e Giulio Cesare Procaccini, cui si aggiungerà poco più tardi il Morazzone. Per i tre maestri, emblematicamente riuniti nel celebre “quadro delle tre mani” commissionato dal nobile collezionista milanese Scipione Toso e transitato dopo la sua morte nella pestilenza del 1630 nella raccolta del cardinale Cesare Monti, successore di Federico (oggi alla Pinacoteca di Brera), mantiene tuttora la sua suggestiva efficacia l’inquadramento critico di Roberto Longhi (in «Dedalo », 1926): «Costoro sono a loro volta i portatori del più spirituale manierismo che abbia avuto l’Italia in quei tempi, dopo il Rosso, il Parmigianino, e il Primaticcio, sicché Bellange, Blocklandt, Bloemaert, Spranger, Cornelius di Haarlem son forse legati a costoro da affinità profonde più che non lo siano i Carracci e il Caravaggio. Si tratta per essi di delicature sentimentali che, per un lato di grazia stremata, preludono certo Settecento, ma per l’altro lasciano trasparire tutto il tragico dell’umanismo che aggalla in verità come il corpo d’un annegato. Capricci spirituali a punta di penna o di pennello. Schermidori di sagrestia. Languidezze e livori. Fiori, muscoli e pestilenze. Fossette di grazia e ferite di crudeltà.
