SENATO. DELIBERAZIONI MISTE: The Istituto Veneto di Scienze, Lettere ed Arti is publishing the registers of the Venetian Senate for the period up to the war of Chioggia (181), in a total of twenty volumes. This will make available documentary material of ex- traordinary importance for historic research. The Consiglio dei Rogati o dei Pregadi (Consilium Rogatorum), later the Senate, was possibly set up in 1229-1230 as an organ of support to the Great Council. Its function soon moved from that of preliminary inquiry and advice on matters of trade and navigation to decision-making, eventually in every aspect of economic financial and administrative matters and of internal and external policy. Over the years the Consiglio dei Rogati became the most important of the Venetian councils, at the heart of the institutional order. The deliberations (or parti), valid as law, were recorded from the end of the thirteenth century, and have been conserved from register XV onward. The series is published under the patronage of the Senato della Repubblica Italiana and directed by: Maria Francesca Tiepolo, Dieter Girgensohn and Gherardo Ortalli.

  • Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2009, vol. 4 Body of Empire: Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt n 1578, a committee of government officials and monk and historian IGirolamo Bardi planned a program of redecoration for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Great Council Hall) and the adjoining Scrutinio, among the largest and most important rooms in the Venetian Doge’s Palace. Completed, the schema would recount Venetian history in terms of its international stature, its victories, and particularly its conquests; by the sixteenth century Venice had created a sizable maritime empire that stretched across the eastern Mediterranean, to which it added considerable holdings on the Italian mainland.1 Yet what many Venetians regarded as the jewel of its empire, the island of Cyprus, was calamitously lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1571, three years before the first of two fires that would necessitate the redecoration of these civic spaces.2 Anxiety about such a loss, fear of future threats, concern for Venice’s place in evolving geopolitics, and nostalgia for the past prompted the creation of this triumphant pro- gram, which featured thirty-five historical scenes on the walls surmounted by a chronological series of ducal portraits. Complementing these were twenty-one large narratives on the ceiling, flanked by smaller depictions of the city’s feats spanning the previous seven hundred years. The program culminated in the Maggior Consiglio, with Tintoretto’s massive Paradise on one wall and, on the ceiling, three depictions of allegorical Venice in triumph by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Palma il Giovane. These rooms, a center of republican authority, became a showcase for the skills of these and other artists, whose history paintings in particular underscore the deeds of men: clothed, in armor, partially nude, frontal and foreshortened, 61 62 EMWJ 2009, vol.

It opened on July 21st 1908 to great acclaim, with a lavish oceanfront party for over 3,000 guests from around the globe. Its creators aimed to transform Venice Lido into a fashionable, glamorous destination for the discerning traveller both national and international, utilising its unique beach setting, ample space and breath-taking views to maximum effect. After 18 months of building work, their dream resort was complete: a grand, Belle Epoque style palazzo featuring elabora- te Moorish design elements, with manicured gardens, an immaculate sandy beach and endless rows of private cabanas on one side and the emerald waters of the Venice Lagoon to the other. The hotel quickly became a Lido landmark, the must visit destination for the rich, famous and often royal.

  • Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End?
    EOTVOS LORAND UNIVERSITY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization 2016/2017 Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End? A socio-historical analysis of custodial care with case studies on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. Author: Lazar Stefanović Supervisor: prof. Dr. Katalin Tausz ABSTRACT This study encompasses the phenomenon of institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in a holistic manner, from its rise to the fall as the only mainstream form of care for this group. The phenomenon of the period of “great confinement” with regards to persons with mental disorders determined the later development of custodial care systems; hence my thesis examines wrongness of the inveteracy of punitive and control oriented care that was long taken for granted. The perception of mental disorders progressed significantly after the aforementioned period; still today we are able to detect worryingly outdated approaches to mental disability as well as some features of the custodial care that were present a few centuries ago. A significant breakthrough happened with introduction of somewhat vague concept of dignity that allowed theorists and lawmakers to further develop understanding of this concept and incorporate it in international legal instruments. The position of dignity is examined with regards to realization of the rights of persons with mental disabilities and understanding the importance of autonomy as a prerequisite for dignified life. Ultimately, deinstitutionalisation is a tool by which the society loosens the control established upon the persons with mental disorders a long time ago. The case studies focus on the processes of deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia.

Throughout the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the two powers often clashed in open hostilities. This antagonism between the cities lasted for ten generations, and has been compared to the earlier rivalry between Rome and Carthage. Like the struggle between the two ancient powers, the Venetian/Gcnoan hatred stemmed from their competitive relationship in maritime trade. Unlike land-based rivals, sea powers cannot be separated by any natural boundary or agree to observe any territorial spheres of influence. Trade with the Levant, a source of great wealth and prosperity for each of the cities, required Venice and Genoa to come into repeated conflict in ports such as Chios, Lajazzo, Acre, and Tyre.

Should you wish to access it and/or join the defense that will take place online, contact Csilla Dobos ([email protected]) Summary of the doctoral dissertation The study explores the effects of Venetian transformation from Commune into Dominium using Istria as a case-study. Namely, between the end of the War of Chioggia in 1381 and Venetian official assumption of the mantle Dominium Veneciarum in 1462, the Republic of St. Mark underwent seminal changes of its institutional framework and its territories drastically increased, spanning from north-eastern Italy, across the eastern Adriatic all the way to Aegean See. This was also the era in which Venice divided its state into two constituent parts: the Terraferma in the Italian mainland and the Stato da Mar on the islands and coasts of the Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean Sea. Istria, a region whose principal cities and towns were subjected to Venice already in the thirteenth century, did not pertain exclusively to either of the two newly constituted Venetian realms.

  • Nine Dragon Heads
    20th Anniversary Nine Dragon Heads La Biennale di Venezia www.9dragonheads.com Jump to the Unknown 31st. May 31st. July 2015 Venue Palazzo Loredan dell‘Ambasciatore From the 3 Islands - Murano, Lido, Chioggia Event Open Air Symposium Nature & Culture Survey Exposition Presentation Nine Dragon Heads Introduction Nine Dragon Heads aspires to generate positive environmental and spiritual legacies for the future. This is in a context where humankind benefits from manipulating and dominating its natural surroundings; regarding the natural environment as a target and challenge for conquest, a test of its ability to transform and possess nature. Our desire and ingenuity to exploit and develop the natural environment through domination and control implies superiority. Reflecting on the history of the planet however, many species of all forms became extinct when the friendly environmental conditions that firstly nurtured their birth later changed and became hostile. The question of when will humankind disappear hangs over us. No matter how 'special' we Homo Sapiens think we may be, we have to realize we are a part of the greater natural world and the product of a unique environment that supports our life. How can we lead a life with understanding and respect for the world of nature? How can we maintain a life peacefully and fairly for the survival of mankind? Nine Dragon Heads changes ‘I’ into ‘we’, a community of artists, who explore and re-consider the relationship and equilibrium between people and the natural environment.
