Pope John the Twenty-Third and Master John Hus of Bohemia
POPE JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD AND MASTER JOHN HUS OF BOHEMIA POPE JOHN THE TWENTY-THIRD AND MASTER JOHN HUS OF BOHEMIA BY EUSTACE J. KITTS A. UTHOR OF 'IN THE DAYS OF THE COUNCILS' ILLUSTRATED LONDON CONSTABLE AND COMPANY LIMITED 10 ORANGE STREET LEICESTER SQUARE 1910 INTRODUCTION IN this book I have endeavoured to narrate the five years' history of three men and a movement; the men are Pope John the Twenty-third, John Hus, the patriot reformer of Bohemia, and Sigismund, King of the Romans; and the movement is the conciliar movement up to the middle of the year 1415. I have already, in my book entitled In the Days ef the Councils, given the history of Baldassare Cossa, who became Pope John the Twenty-third, up to the death of Pope Alexander the Fifth. Baldassare Cossa was in no sense a hero; there were indeed very few heroes in those days. One thing which makes history so much more interesting than fiction is that the characters have their human frailties as well as their human virtues. 'Il n'y a pas,' says M. Boissier, 'de gens parfaits que dans les romans.' Baldassare Cossa was simply a strong man placed in a position for which he had striven hut for which he was eminently unfit, struggling with adversity. It is in the struggle that the interest of his story lies. Up till the battle of Rocca Secca all went well with him; after that, Fate was consistentlv against him. He had the misfortune to have for an enemy one of the foremost literary men of his time; and literary men then said all that they knew was true, all that they thought was true, and much that they hoped was true. -
STORIA FRESONARA Vernetti
Cav. Pietro Vernetti STORIA DEL COMUNE DI FRESONARA NARRATA AL POPOLO PREFAZIONE La storia del nostro paese e degli avvenimenti che hanno coinvolto dai tempi dei Liguri la nostra gente, tutti sapevano essere stata scritta. Quando mio padre mi raccontava di un tal Facino Cane che nel 1404 aveva “eguagliato a terra” il Castello ed il borgo di Fresonara, pensavo ad una tragica fiaba e invece si rifaceva alla storia contenuta nel manoscritto. Quel manoscritto sembrava perduto per sempre. L’Amministrazione Comunale, subito dopo le ultime elezioni, fece il proposito di rendere disponibile per ciascuna famiglia di Fresonara la “storia”, stampandola finalmente in un libro, se mai fosse ricomparsa. E’ un proposito che si realizza, grazie all’intuizione di due giovani, Gianluca Fasciolo e Antonella Ricci, di ideare un giornalino volto a riscoprire le nostre radici, alla penna arguta di Domenico Bisio che proprio attraverso i fogli de “Lo Scagno” ha prima risvegliato in noi Fresonaresi la consapevolezza che conoscere il proprio passato è garanzia per un migliore futuro, e poi reso coscienti gli “eredi” dei preziosi scritti che le testimonianze degli avvenimenti che hanno interessato la nostra terra dovevano essere patrimonio di tutti. Dello stesso avviso sono stati Giuseppe Laguzzi (detto Pinetto) e Gabriella Ferrari. Tramite il primo, nel giro di pochi giorni l’Associazione Culturale venne in possesso delle fotocopie delle bozze del Vernetti, compilate nel 1892. Non passarono che pochi mesi e la signora Gabriella annunciò con sincero entusiasmo la sua piena disponibilità a rendere pubblici gli originali della parte di storia in suo possesso, datata 7 febbraio 1893. -
Life of Malatesta
socialist tendencies and would soon defect to the ranks of the International. Until that moment Malatesta had never heard mention of the International, and he wanted to know what it was. He sought and found it. He then met, among others, Giuseppe Life of Malatesta Fanelli, Saverio Friscia, Carmelo Paladino, and Gambuzzi, and under their influence (especially that of Fanelli and Paladino) 4 he decidedly embraced — in 1870 — internationalist ideas. It Luigi Fabbri is known that in Italy at that time, socialism and the Interna- tional owed their markedly revolutionary and anarchist char- acter to Bakunin’s influence, exerted since 1864. The events of the Paris Commune of 1871 and the ferment for those strewn everywhere reinforced Malatesta’s newly embraced faith, his enthusiasm growing to a crescendo. On August 4, 1872 a congress of internationalists from various parts of the peninsula met in Rimini, known later as the “Conference of Rimini,” where the Italian Federation of the International Workers’ Association was put together. Before this event isolated sections of the International had already been diffused about Italy — the most important of them being in Naples — workers’ fascios, resistance societies, and so on. In Rimini a common organization was solidified. The president of the conference was Carlo Cafiero andthe secretary Andrea Costa. Malatesta didn’t participate in this conference, but soon became one of the most active members of the Federation. Since January he had been the Secretary General of the Neapolitan Labor Federation, whose program he had formulated. He had collaborated the previous year 5 (1871) with Cafiero on L’Ordine of Naples, and he was a regular contributor to La Campana, also of Naples (1871–2), the most important internationalist paper of its time, thanks to the vivacity, seriousness and the density of its thought. -

Cotignola in the Opinion of Leonardo and Luca Pacioli

Nevertheless, it is unlikely that Cotignola was strictly limited to the “villa” because the Descriptio assigns a re- markable number of ‘hearths’ to it, all of 144 focularia2 i.e. tax-paying family units, a considerable number for a late fourteenth century rural location in Romagna.3 In fact, in those days this ‘almost village’ must already have had a defensive wall build by the inhabitants of Faenza and Forlì in 1276, most prob- ably not a wall with a moat but a strong enclosure made of wood, or an em- bankment.4 The castrum may have been degraded to ‘villa’ because of the dire condition it was in when Anglic’s official visited, which is quite easy to imagine in consideration of the fact that the nearby Senio river must have frequently subjected the settlement to the perils of destructive floods. -

On the Identity of Some Musicians at the Brescian Court of Pandolfo III Malatesta *
On the Identity of Some Musicians At The Brescian Court of Pandolfo III Malatesta * By Allan Atlas Although the Brescian court of Pandolfo III Malatesta was relatively short-lived and generally plagued by political difficulties, and though Bres cia at the beginning of the 15th century was as short on an artistic heritage of the first rank as the Malatesta were on the resources to foster such a tradi tion, the signoria over which Pandolfo III presided in that Lombard city from 1404 to 1421 enjoyed a surprisingly distinguished cultural life, especially in the field of music.' Himself a man of letters who commanded Latin, French, and Proven<;al, Pandolfo took a first-hand interest in the literary life of his court, collecting a respectable library, supporting a small but important group ofBrescian writ ers-among them Jacopo Malvezzi, Giovanni da Borgo San Donnino, and perhaps Bartolomeo Baiguera-and writing Latin verses of his own, accom plishments that earned for him the praise of the soldier-poet Ludovico Can tello (his secretary) and the well-known humanist Francesco Filelfo.' In the visual arts, Pandolfo's Brescia always enjoyed the talents ofa number oflocal artists, especially Bartolino Testorino,3 while the period 1414-1419 wit nessed the presence at the court of Gentile da Fabriano, whom Pandolfo commissioned to execute a fresco in a chapel of the Broletto, the 13th-century palace in which Pandolfo lived and in which Sigismondo Pandolfo was born inJune 1417'- Despite these achievements, it was through his support of music that Pan dolfo played perhaps his most significant role as a patron of the arts. -

Leardo Mascanzoni Muzio Attendolo Da Cotignola, Capostipite Degli Sforza*
Leardo Mascanzoni Muzio Attendolo da Cotignola, capostipite degli Sforza* [A stampa in “Nuova Rivista Storica”, LXXXIX-I (Gennaio-Aprile 2005), pp. 55-82 © dell’autore – Distribuito in formato digitale da “Reti Medievali”]. Il 10 aprile dell’anno 1500 Ludovico Sforza detto “il Moro”, a capo del ducato di Milano in guerra contro Venezia e contro Luigi XII re di Francia, incalzato dalle truppe nemiche di Gian Giacomo Trivulzio ed ormai senza speranza di successo, tentò la fuga tra i suoi mercenari svizzeri mescolato fra di loro e vestito come un umile fante. Presto riconosciuto, fu fatto prigioniero ed inviato in Francia dove morì otto anni più tardi. Lo spettacolo del suo travestimento e della sua cattura fu, a detta del Guicciardini, «sì miserabile che commosse le lacrime insino a molti degli inimici»1. Questa scena, che ci si incide nella memoria per il senso di pathos e di dramma che da essa promana, sembrò prefigurare l’inevitabile tracollo di casa Sforza. Invece le cose andarono diversamente ed i dinasti milanesi riuscirono, seppure a stento, a mantenersi in sella ancora per qualche decennio, fino al 1535. Colui dal quale tutto aveva preso le mosse, il capostipite della casata destinata a dominare Milano era stato quel Giacomuccio degli Attendoli, più noto col diminutivo di Muzio e col nomignolo, poi nobilitato in cognome, di “Sforza” affibbiatogli con tutta probabilità dal grande Alberico da Barbiano nella cui leggendaria compagnia di S. Giorgio egli aveva fatto le sue prime prove. “Sforza” a significare colui che è forte, virile, che ha coraggio e non si piega; o, anche, prepotente, come sembra adombrare una storia che attribuisce il soprannome alla violenza con cui avrebbe reclamato una parte di bottino maggiore di quella che gli era stata assegnata2. -
Bartolomeo Colleoni 1 Bartolomeo Colleoni
Bartolomeo Colleoni 1 Bartolomeo Colleoni Bartolomeo Colleoni (1400 – 2 November 1475) was an Italian condottiero. Life Colleoni was born at Solza, in the countryside of Bergamo (Lombardy), where he prepared his magnificent mortuary chapel, the Cappella Colleoni, in a shrine that he seized when it was refused him by the local confraternity, the Consiglio della Misericordia. The family was a noble one, exiled with the rest of the Guelphs by the Visconti. Bartolomeo's father Paolo seized the castle of Trezzo by wile and held it by force, until he was assassinated by his cousins, probably acting on The famous equestrian statue of Bartolomeo Colleoni by order of Filippo Maria Visconti, duke of Milan. Verrocchio in Venice The young Colleoni trained at first in the retinue of Filippo d'Arcello, the new master of Piacenza. Then he entered the service of various condottieri, beginning with Braccio da Montone, who was skirmishing in Apulia, profiting from the struggles between Alfonso of Aragon and Louis of Anjou during the weak sovereignty of Queen Joan II by taking Alfonso's cause, and then of Carmagnola. After the latter was put to death at Venice (1432), Colleoni passed to direct service of the Venetian republic, entering on the major phase of his career. Although Gianfrancesco Gonzaga was nominally commander-in-chief, Colleoni was in fact the true leader of the army. He recaptured many towns and districts for Venice from the Milanese, and when Gonzaga went over to the enemy, Colleoni continued to serve the Venetians under Erasmo da Narni (known as Gattamelata) and Francesco Sforza, winning battles at Brescia, Verona, and on the lake of Garda. -
