  • Italy in Egypt and Historical Influences on Egyptian Codification
    Italy in Egypt and Historical Influences on Egyptian Codification Gian Maria Piccinelli Abstract The presence of a large community of Italians in Egypt has assumed a meaningful dimension from the mid-XIX to the mid-XX century. Even if its economic and social profile was generally modest, it succeeded in creating schools, places of worship and meeting attended also by the Egyptian élites and by the members of other nationalities. Particularly appreciated in various professions, the Italians left important traces of their legal culture during the reforms of the Egyptian law after the end of the period of Capitulation system. The creation of the so called ‘mixed’ and ‘national’ systems has seen a participation of both Italian jurists and judges. The influence of the doctrine of Pasquale Stanislao Mancini was evident in the formation of the Egyptian private international law. The intensive work of Italian professors and advocates completed the circulation of Italian codification and it strengthened the Euro-Mediterranean legal koinè. I. The First Egyptian Codification The influence of the civil law model on the legal modernization period in Egypt, which began under Muhammad Ali’s reign (1805-1849),1 was quite clear from its very beginning. The presence of large communities of Europeans, especially Italian, Greek and French people, along with their participation in Egyptian administration, helped the development of that process of modernization. It is maintained that: ‘(T)he transformation from Shari’a law to civil law started with establishing specialized judicial councils in response to Egypt’s gradually increasing subjection to international commerce constraints and Western imperialist influence.

  • Unity Deferred: the "Roman Question" in Italian History,1861-82 William C Mills
    Unity Deferred: The "Roman Question" in Italian History,1861-82 William C Mills ABSTRACT: Following the Risorgimento (the unification of the kingdom of Italy) in 1861, the major dilemma facing the new nation was that the city of Rome continued to be ruled by the pope as an independent state. The Vatican's rule ended in 1870 when the Italian army captured the city and it became the new capital of Italy. This paper will examine the domestic and international problems that were the consequences of this dispute. It will also review the circumstances that led Italy to join Germany and Austria in the Triple Alliance in 1882. In the early morning of 20 September 1870, Held guns of the Italian army breached the ancient city wall of Rome near the Porta Pia. Army units advanced to engage elements of the papal militia in a series of random skirmishes, and by late afternoon the army was in control of the city. Thus concluded a decade of controversy over who should govern Rome. In a few hours, eleven centuries of papal rule had come to an end.' The capture of Rome marked die first time that the Italian government had felt free to act against the explicit wishes of the recendy deposed French emperor, Napoleon III. Its action was in sharp contrast to its conduct in the previous decade. During that time, die Italians had routinely deferred to Napoleon with respect to the sanctity of Pope Pius IX's rule over Rome. Yet while its capture in 1870 revealed a new sense of Italian independence, it did not solve the nation's dilemma with the Roman question.

  • The «Little History» of an Italian Murdered in Rio Grande Do Sul
    Saggi America latina The «little history» of an Italian murdered in Rio Grande do Sul Marco Soresina Università di Milano Introduction The story told here is a «small» piece of history, in the sense that it involves ordinary men who have left few traces behind them – not enough even to identify its protagonists. It is narrated through Italian documents, since some humble Italian family put forward an official request to the Italian government asking for help in the search for a relative emigrated they had lost contact with. Some were more emphatic in making their claim, making use of a famous lawyer, others more unassuming, presenting their case in uncertain Italian, or in the bureaucratic style of some willing municipal official who aided illiterate families. Incomplete as this sources may be, however, we have enough to highlight how Liberal Italy was not prepared to protect its emigrants. More than this, at times there emerges an actual indifference to the emigrants, regarded by the Foreign Ministry, and often also by the consular network, as ex-Italians, former citizens lost to their homeland. This article traces the human experience of emigrants who had lost, or almost lost, all contact with their families in Italy. The context The location of the tragic events narrated here is the gaúcho territory, between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers, and to the east in the southern part of the State of Rio Grande do Sul. Towards the end of the nineteenth century, this territory was an interesting destination for Italian immigrants. It was a migration stimulated by Brazil’s immigration policies, which in the mid-1880s had introduced the 57 Altreitalie luglio-dicembre 2017 winning formula of prepaid travel to Europeans in order to attract the workforce necessary for the agricultural colonisation of the country.

ABSTRACT When Italy became a fully united country in 1870, Britain was an enthusiastic supporter of the new state. This feeling was reciprocated, with Italy regarding Britain as her most sincere friend in Europe. In February 1887 Britain joined Italy, Germany and Austria-Hungary in the Mediterranean Agreements, by which Britain guaranteed support for Italy in the event of attack upon her. However, by then circumstances had changed. The British occupation of Egypt and the Mahdist uprising had led to Britain becoming a significant Power in North-East Africa. During the same period, Italy had started establishing colonial settlements on the Red Sea. This led to a conflict in the region between Italian and British interests. In addition, Franco-Italian friction increased as Crispi, the Italian Premier since August 1887, continually provoked France, culminating in a crisis which nearly tipped Europe into a full-scale war in 1888.
