    PI St Peter's Basilica

    www.osram.com 1/4 Press Munich, February 19, 2018 New lighting system for St. Peter’s Basilica taking shape Initial lighting tests show that illumination of the domes is 10 times brighter than before Planning for the new LED lighting system for the world’s largest church has entered its final phase: The lighting calculations and simulations have been successfully completed. In the basilica, the LED lighting system has been tested in many areas, and everyone involved is really pleased with the results. Tests show that the illumination level of the domes is 10 times brighter than before. The new indirect lighting system also eliminates unsightly drop shadows on the circular inscription, which is carved into the wall below the cornices of the basilica. “At St. Peter’s Basilica, we are able to demonstrate our lighting expertise once again,” says Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM Licht AG. “A total of 700 custom-made luminaires with more than 100,000 powerful light-emitting diodes from Regensburg brilliantly illuminate this tremendous building in a way never seen before. And our technology will bathe individual works of art and statues at the Basilica in dazzling light.” “We are really pleased with the new lighting system for St. Peter's Basilica,” said Mons. Rafael De La Serrana Villalobos, Director Department Technical Services of the Governorate of the Vatican State (Servizi Tecnici del Governatorato dello Stato della Città del Vaticano). “During the first tests, we could clearly see details of artwork in the domes that we could only guess at in the past.” The innovative LED light sources will create an unforgettable visitor experience, much like the brilliant results achieved by Osram at the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms.
  • Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700

    Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700

    The Limits of Confessionalization: Social Discipline, the Ban, and Political Resistance Among Swiss Anabaptists, 1550-1700 JOHN D. ROTH* Abstract: Although historians have frequently emphasized the political, social, and religious radicalism of the Anabaptist movement, this essay suggests that in the context of seventeenth-century efforts to impose new forms of central state control over villages in the Swiss Cantons of Zurich and Bern, Anabaptism attracted new members in the countryside precisely because it preserved an older, medieval ideal of a Christian community, capable of self-regulation and self-discipline. At a time when the central authorities were seeking to take control of village Chorgerichten (morals courts) as institutions of social discipline, Anabaptists doctrines and practices gained support as a means of preserving the traditional ideal of a “moral community” made up of members whose disciplined lives were pleasing to both God and their neighbors. On the afternoon of September 29, 1614, Hans Landis—a 70-year-old, self-educated farmer from the Swiss hamlet of Horgen—was led in chains to the main moat (Hauptgrube) at the outskirts of Zurich. There, only hours after the city’s Great Council had judged him guilty of “stubborn and seditious rebellion,” he spoke some final words to a hastily assembled crowd, granted the executioner’s request for forgiveness, and knelt before the executioner’s sword.1 By the time of his death, Zurich authorities were well acquainted with the gray-bearded Landis. Some twenty-five years earlier, in 1589, he, along with fourteen other peasants, had been imprisoned in the *John D.

Regional economic disparities in Switzerland are among the lowest among OECD countries. With a productivity growth of 1.7% per year over the period 2008-14, Ticino not only had the highest level of productivity in 2014 but also recorded the largest growth among Swiss regions. Following a significantly lower productivity growth (0.1% per year), Zurich was replaced by Ticino as the frontier region in terms of productivity in Switzerland in 2010.
