Despite the inability of Acciaiuoli’s children, other means were found to continue the expansion of the Monastic complex. In the 14th century the large Cloister was added, while between the 16th and the 17th century, several maintenance and embellishment works were completed. Still in this period, several works of art were commissioned, some of which are still visible. Others, unfortunately, were lost following the confiscation of the Napoleonic period (1810). In 1872 the Monastery was abolished via a Royal Decree. the Cistercian monks were able to return in 1895. In 1958 the Carthusian monks were replaced by the Cistercian order of Monks.

It was designed in 1355 and all in all looks quite like a fortress.

CHURCH OF SAN LORENZO. The construction work began in 1341 and ended in 1394, although the structure was modified later on in the 16th century. Originally there was a part dedicated to the cloistered monks and another part for all the other people. You can also notice two different spaces that are due to the different periods of construction: the facade and the chorus date back to the period between 1550 and 1558, and the part reserved for monks is in the 14th century part. The presbytery and the chorus of monks hold the primacy for antiquity.

Oxford: Voltaire Foundation, University of Oxford, 2011. xix + 311 pp. Summaries, bibliography, and index. £65; $115 U.S. (pb). ISBN 978-0-7294-1024-3. Review by Beatrice Guenther, Bowling Green State University. Germaine de Staël’s writings and political activism during the French Revolution and its (Napoleonic) aftermath continue to fascinate readers even as the bicentennial of her death approaches. This excellent collection of essays, edited by Karyna Szmurlo and which explores Staël’s politics of mediation, contributes multiple insights into her rich, complex oeuvre. Szmurlo is already well-respected as editor of The Novel’s Seduction: Staël’s ‘Corinne” in Critical Inquiry and as co-editor (with Madelyn Gutwirth and Avriel Goldberger) of Germaine de Staël: Crossing the Borders, to mention just two examples of her influential scholarship.[1] In her introduction to this volume, Szmurlo explains how the concept of mediation can act as a filter to connect the diverse aspects of Staël’s literary and political works. Mediation can be understood, on the one hand, as a reflection on the transforming and transformative effects of media (petitions, letters, press, but also conversation). Interdisciplinarity, however, can also be read as a mediating practice, as can the practice of social networking. Particularly relevant for Germaine de Staël, the connections between “multiple language communities”--whether through travel, cultural criticism, translations or critical reception--constitute further politicized forms of mediation (p. 5).

    Asian Studies International Journal Vol I, Issue No.1(December 2019): Pages 43-49 ©ICRD Publication ISSN: 2279-1949 Asian Studies International Journal https://asianstudies.info/ A Comparative Approach to the Eternising Poetry of Feng Zhi and Ugo Foscolo Salvatore Giuffré University of Malta, Malta Abstract This paper aims at bridging two literary corpora establishing a theme close to the heart of a number of poets who engaged with Romantic leitmotifs: the eternising function of poetry. In order to define this poetic stance, evocative examples of two key writers are adopted for close examination: select sonnets of modern Chinese poet Feng Zhi and select verses from the poems of Italian neo- Classicist writer Ugo Foscolo. Both Feng Zhi and Ugo Foscolo make reference to the corruptibility of man’s body. The ultimate purpose of poetry, as seen in the lyrical excerpts, is to immortalise what is generally conceived as ephemeral, be it the mortal beauty of a friend, the historical achievements of a nation, the quests of heroes or even the transient moments of human life. Poetry, unlike material tokens, becomes a unique product of human sensitivity and génie as it provides unequivocal fame and permanence in a world that is affected by time and its relentless corrosive power. The lyrical verses of Feng Zhi and Ugo Foscolo therefore become ever-lasting testimonials or symbols of historical memory for future generations, which can produce heroic sentiments in the case of the Italian carme or nostalgia and endurance on the Chinese side. Introduction Modern literary texts in China and the West highlight one of the main concerns of the poet, who as a modern intellectual, comes to terms with the historical and social conditions of his own country or “nation-to-be”: the relationship with his community and the epitomised purpose of poetry.

  • From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala
    From Coppet to Milan: Romantic Circles at La Scala Carmen Casaliggi Cardiff Metropolitan University When Percy Shelley left England and settled with Mary Godwin and Claire Clairmont at Maison Chapuis close to Villa Diodati in May 1816, his thoughts naturally turned to the people who were part of the coterie of European writers and artists visiting Switzerland during that Summer. As he wrote in a letter to Thomas Jefferson Hogg dated July 18, 1816: “Lord Byron, whom I have seen at this place, is about to publish a new canto of Childe Harold [...] Mad. de Stael [sic] is here & a number of literary people whom I have not seen, & indeed have no great curiosity to see” (493). Despite their strident disagreement over the merits of Byron’s entourage, Shelley’s words are suggestive of the significance of Switzerland as a centre of creativity and inspiration; it also becomes an important site to test authentic forms of sociability. John William Polidori’s diary entry for May 25, 1816 – written only few days after he arrived in Switzerland as Byron’s personal physician - retraces the footsteps of writers and philosophers interested in Swiss destinations: “It is a classic ground we go over. Buonaparte, Joseph, Bonnet, Necker, Staël, Voltaire, Rousseau, all have their villas (except Rousseau). Genthoud, Ferney, Coppet are close to the road” (96). This distinctive association of the biographical, the historical, and the geographical indicates the extent to which the Swiss experience can be seen as one of the first Romantic examples of influence and collaboration between British and European Romantic writers.

  • MONTEPULCIANO's PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – C.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES in FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL and POLITI
    MONTEPULCIANO’S PALAZZO COMUNALE, 1440 – c.1465: RETHINKING CASTELLATED CIVIC PALACES IN FLORENTINE ARCHITECTURAL AND POLITICAL CONTEXTS Two Volumes Volume I Koching Chao Ph.D. University of York History of Art September 2019 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for the significance of castellated civic palaces in shaping and consolidating Florence’s territorial hegemony during the fifteenth century. Although fortress-like civic palaces were a predominant architectural type in Tuscan communes from the twelfth century onwards, it is an understudied field. In the literature of Italian Renaissance civic and military architecture, the castellated motifs of civic palaces have either been marginalised as an outdated and anti-classical form opposing Quattrocento all’antica taste, or have been oversimplified as a redundant object lacking defensive functionality. By analysing Michelozzo’s Palazzo Comunale in Montepulciano, a fifteenth-century castellated palace resembling Florence’s thirteenth-century Palazzo dei Priori, this thesis seeks to address the ways in which castellated forms substantially legitimised Florence’s political, military and cultural supremacy. Chapter One examines textual and pictorial representations of Florence’s castellation civic palaces and fortifications in order to capture Florentine perceptions of castellation. This investigation offers a conceptual framework, interpreting the profile of castellated civic palaces as an effective architectural affirmation of the contemporary idea of a powerful city-republic rather than being a symbol of despotism as it has been previously understood. Chapters Two and Three examine Montepulciano’s renovation project for the Palazzo Comunale within local and central administrative, socio-political, and military contexts during the first half of the fifteenth century, highlighting the Florentine features of Montepulciano’s town hall despite the town’s peripheral location within the Florentine dominion.

  • Mountain Landscape and the Aesthetics of the Sublime in Romantic Narration Paola Giacomoni
    Mountain landscape and the aesthetics of the sublime in Romantic narration Paola Giacomoni Any man who observes nature is always inclined to question its precise order. Te analogies and regularities of natural phenomena have ofen suggested a predetermined design, a benign creator, a sublime artist: thus nature appears to be his masterpiece. Te persuasive quality of the so-called physical-theological proof of the existence of God is well known, a theory that perceives the creator’s perfection in the incredible and spectacular workings of the cosmos. Te knowledge gained from the examination of the order and harmony of the universe suggests an aesthetic dimension which, born from the thrill of wonder and amazement, rises to beauty or to the sublime. But even the most convinced supporters of natural theology, which was a particularly popular theory in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, used for justifying and singing the praises of the cosmos, cannot fail to see certain incongruities or irregularities, not obvious enough to cause doubt in the unity of nature, but certainly enough to render its reconstruction more complicated. As far as the origins of the universe are concerned, not everything appears to be ascribable to a perfect and conclusive order, to a harmonious and totally regulated cosmos, especially since, in this era, it is understood that nature possesses a history of its own, and it can be viewed as transformation. One of the most difcult issues which comes to the fore in the »earth sciences« is the »unevenness« of the earth’s crust which is visibly recognisable in mountain landscapes.

  • Conceptual Networks in Swinburne's Songs of the Springtides
    Chapter2 "QuiveringWeb of Living Thought": ConceptualNetworks in Swinburne's Songs of the Springtides JohnA. Walsh Digital Swinburne, Networks, and Nodes The essay below is infonned by many years' labor on an electronic, Web­ based collection of Swinburne's works, The Swinburne Project (<http://www. swinburneproject.org/>). This digital collection both provides access to high-quality digital representations of Swinburne's texts, along with additional scholarly material, and serves as a test bed for experimentation with various infonnation and Web technologies in an effort to enable new reading and writing strategies; to identify and visualize poetic and informational systems, structures, and designs; and to open previously untrodden paths of discovery through Swinburne's work. Digital media offer possibilities and functionalities-keyword searching, hyperlinking, integration of text, image, audio, and other media--that may benefit the representation and study of any poet, but for Swinburne, a deceptively and disanningly difficult and dense poet, digital media offer even more particular advantages. Swinburne is an ideal poet for such digital presentation and treatment. He is a poet of complex thought, extended conceits, diverse fonns, and extensive and rich allusions. This expansive though elusive or obscured range is represented in Swinburne's work in a carefully organized and architected manner. In one of his famously equivocal essays on Swinburne, T.S. Eliot claims that Swinburne's prose style represents ''the index to the impatience and perhaps laziness of a disorderly mind" (17). Eliot is correct that Swinburne's writing provides us with an index, yet he is very wrong regarding the nature of the mind that is indexed.
