Questa raccolta sarà intitolata Antologia ossia Scelta di opuscoli d'ogni letteratura tradotti in italiano” The aim is "trasportare in Italia, senza averle prima sottoposte alla critica italiana, le produzioni letterarie d'ogni genere, dei francesi, degli inglesi, dei tedeschi, degli spagnoli ecc. e di far conoscere [...] la maniera [...] con cui considerano le nostre produzioni; ed ho pensato che sarebbe cosa utile [...] il riprodurre in lingua italiana gli articoli più piccanti che si leggono negli scritti periodici di queste diverse nazioni".

  • Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy*
    Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R.

Agrati onde illustrare un discorso di Torquato Tasso; a cui se ne aggiugne un altro del maresciallo di Biron: si questo che quello tolti da manoscritti inediti. Brescia, Nicolò Bettoni, 1819. Large 16mo, pp. viii, 160; occasional very light spotting, some foxing on edges, but a crisp, tight, clean copy; nineteenth-century ownership inscription of Dr. Antonio Greppi, recording the book as a gift from Domenico Agrati, the author’s brother; contemporary boards, ink titling on spine. € 310 First and only edition, rare. Styled as the ‘transcription’ of unpublished manuscripts by Tasso and Biron on the French unrest from Calvin to Nantes, this publication was in fact intended to support the reaction of European aristocracy against the outcome and repercussions of the French Revolution. Hume’s and Rousseau’s visions of popular fury depict the violence of the French ‘populace’. Throughout history, Agrati argues, the French have fomented factions, incited rebellion and regularly spoiled the constructive efforts of well-meaning monarchs. In line with the spirit that had just animated the Congress of Vienna, Agrati maintains that only a ‘firm and absolute’ (p. 153) ruler can avert the lethal threat of anarchy.

    Journal of Ancient Egyptian Interconnections ORVIETO AND THE WATERWAYS NETWORK Claudio Bizzarri Fondazione per il Museo C. Faina ABSTRACT In antiquity “road networks” of various kinds played an essential role in defining the territory and determining where settlements and production villas and farms were to be located. This study deals in particular with the waterways in Umbria, involving rivers such as the Tiber, the Paglia and the Chiani, which were all navigable at the time, and how present place names provide an insight into how these waterways were exploited. Corroborated by archaeological finds, descriptions from ancient authors also provide a lively picture of what these villas were like. PREFACE 1 the use of a haulage system, where a system of locks 5 Two distinct methods of analysis can be used in an attempt permitted the exploitation of rivers with a minimum to understand the phenomenon connected to the creation discharge. In Roman times precise laws regulated river and exploitation of a communication and transportation traffic insofar as the flumen (a waterway with a permanent network: physical and chronological. The current flow as distinguished from the rivus and which existed connotation of the term “road network” refers to a even in exceptional periods of drought) vitally enabled complex system dependent in turn on the manner in free circulation. Drawing water from the river was which it is exploited (by rail, wheels, etc.). It might prohibited so as not to interfere with navigation and the therefore be more correct to think of an ancient system as banks were also safeguarded, making access availble to a network of connectivity, that changes, is updated, all.

Restoring the Countryside: George Perkins Marsh and the Italian Land Ethic (1861-1882) MARCUS HALL Institute for Environmental Studies University of Wisconsin Madison, WI 53706, USA SUMMARY G.P. Marsh wrote his monumental Man and Nature (1864) almost entirely in Italy, where he drew heavily from Italian insights and Italian landscapes. While warning about the human propensity to degrade nature, he also maintained hope in the human ability to restore nature. In Italy, as in the United States, Marsh’s writings helped stimulate discussion leading to major new land-use policies; generally preservationist measures in the U.S. and restorationist measures in Italy. The novelty and urgency of Marsh’s messages depended upon contrasting Old and New World traditions of land management. In the mid-nineteenth century, ‘Man’ and ‘Nature’ proved very stylish as ways for entitling monographs. In 1853 for example, Friedrich Körner published at Leipzig his Man and Nature.

Par XXV, 1-9 Formatted: Left History of Remembrance Despite Dante’s desire for a homecoming, as evidenced in the above lines from his Paradiso, this ambition was never realizsed. In fact for centuries the poet’s native city Florence showed remarkably little interest in remembering and commemorating its exiled son, and those who sought reminders of Dante in Florentine streets were left disappointed.

Since then our campus in Florence has annually provided a rich and challenging cultural experience for both students and faculty at OCAD U. This European campus offers a facilitated, directed study approach to learning and is open each year to a limited number of students from all areas that have completed at least two years of study. While in Florence, students develop a body of work in a communal studio setting and study art history amidst a backdrop of architectural and artistic treasures from the Italian Renaissance.
