This project owes much to her generous advice, and I am especially grateful for her careful reading of the full manuscript. I am also very grateful to the anonymous reader of Brill for the valuable advice and the careful reading of the manuscript. I would like to thank Marcella Mulder for her patience and help. This project began life as a doctoral dissertation in the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto. I am grateful to Mark Meyerson and Lawrin Armstrong for their guidance and advice when this project was in the disserta- tion stage, and to Nicholas Terpstra, Giulio Silano, and Laura Ikins Stern, for their valuable feedback on that early version of this project. Dr. Gino Badini, director of the Archivio di Stato di Reggio Emilia (now emeritus), kindly gave me permission to keep a great many sources in the sala di studio for consultation during my research visits to Reggio Emilia. Without this privilege, the present study quite literally would have been impossible. The kindness of all the staff of the Archive made my time there not only productive but also a great pleasure. Many thanks are due to the staff of the Greenlease Library at Rockhurst University, especially Ellie Kohler, for her tireless assis- tance finding and accessing materials. My supportive colleagues in the History Department at Rockhurst University were instrumental in drawing this work to completion. This study has been supported by grants from the Medieval Academy of America and the American Philosophical Society, as well as the Rockhurst University Presidential Grant, and the Center for Catholic Studies at Rockhurst University. There have been many starts and stops along the way, and I am deeply grate- ful to the friends who supported me as this work drew to completion: Natasha Bartels, Faith Childress, Jamie Smith Houghton, Neal Lewis, Aparna Lhila, Trisha Madl, Jaime Malic, Linda Mitchell, Connell Monette, Megan Bishop Moore, Melissa Moore, Marjan Niknam, Andy and Marie Pickard, Joan Marie Stelman, and Shona Kelly Wray (†2012). My gentle friend Carla Valleri (†2015) made me a home in Bologna. I will never walk in the Via Santo Stefano without seeing her there. She will be deeply missed. My greatest thanks is for my family: my mothers, Jill Carraway and Debora Horning, who encouraged my education, and who were simply always there; my wonderful and supportive sister, Debbie Carraway, and sister-in-law, Kara Joanna Carraway Vitiello - 978-90-04-31135-0 Downloaded from Brill.com02/12/2021 02:54:29PM via Library of Congress x acknowledgments Stinnett; my aunt and dear friend, Barbara Carraway (†2010); my brother, Eric Miller; my cousin, Julia Harrell; Antonia’s godmother, Tina Baceski; and my dear parents-in-law, Clara Alfano and Catello Vitiello. My father, Byrle Macon Carraway (†1999), left this world far too soon, long before this project began, but he has been with me every step of the way. My daughter Antonia, the joy of my life, has brightened every day. And finally, for his continuous support and encouragement, there are not enough words to thank my beloved husband Massimiliano, sine quo non.

  • TASIS TODAY Fall 2014
    TASIS TODAY Fall 2014 A Magazine for Alumni and Friends of The American School In Switzerland The new high-tech Campo Science Center in the heart of the campus From the Chairman Dear Alumni and Friends of TASIS, As the years speed by, it is good to reflect on the highlights of the year since our last TASIS Today. A century after the beginning of World War I, the world again seems to be slipping out of control, with the various horrors perpetrated by human beings on other human beings. In the affluent West, many seem to be losing their moral compass, and even the awareness of a moral universe—or agreement on what is right and what is wrong. 2 At TASIS we try to keep a steady hand on the rudder of our moral vessel to maintain an ethical, professional environment, a climate of mutual respect and human concern, where young people can learn and grow in a safe and inspiring setting and strengthen their God-given, fundamental judgment in differentiating right from wrong, good from evil, true from false, worthy from valueless. As my mother, Mrs. Fleming, often said, “Times change, values don’t.” So many good things are happening at TASIS, summer and winter. Surrounded by beauty, our students, from the youngest of 4 to the oldest of 18, are immersed in a truly loving and caring environment where they have numerous opportunities to learn and grow in wisdom and goodness, have life-enhancing experiences, and make long-lasting friendships, as so many of our alumni know.

  • L'affondamento Del “Nova Scotia”
    28 novembre 1942 Oceano Indiano L’AFFONDAMENTO DEL “NOVA SCOTIA” D O S S I E R 2 Nel ricordo di Caldiron Luigi Gino L’AFFONDAMENTO DEL “NOVA SCOTIA” a cura del nipote Fiorenzo Zampieri La piccola grande storia dell’affondamento di un piroscafo britannico nell’Oceano Indiano meridionale causato da un sommergibile tedesco durante la II^ Guerra Mondiale che provocò la scomparsa di diverse centinaia di italiani prigionieri reduci dall’Eritrea e dall’Etiopia Italiane durante il trasferimento verso i campi di concentramento inglesi del Sudafrica. Fra quei poveretti vi era anche il nonno Caldiron Luigi Gino, più volte nominato nei racconti dei sopravissuti che ne testimoniarono la rassegnazione della fine affidata al volere del Signore. 3 I FATTI 15/16 novembre 1942 Da qualche giorno, nel porto di Massaua in Eritrea, era alla fonda il piroscafo britannico Nova Scotia. La nave, di 6976 tonnellate, costruita per il trasporto passeggeri, era stata varata nel 1926 e convertita a trasporto truppe nel 1941. Ora eseguiva la tratta Aden – Sudafrica per il trasporto, oltre che delle truppe britanniche, anche di prigionieri di guerra, ed aveva già effettuato, a questo scopo, diversi viaggi al largo delle coste dell’africa sud orientale. In quei giorni stava imbarcando soldati italiani e tedeschi, rastrellati in Etiopia ed Eritrea, assieme a prigionieri civili, fra i quali, sembra, anche alcune donne, e diverse centinaia di soldati sudafricani ed inglesi. Gli italiani, che erano in numero di 769, in massima parte erano reduci degli equipaggi delle navi come la Tevere, la Colombo, la Mazzini che erano state autoaffondate prima dell’occupazione della colonia italiana.

E come gemme cadute dal suo diadema stan- no disseminate intorno ad essa in quel mare […], Sardegna, Sicilia, ed altre minori isole dove natura di suolo e ossatura di monti e lingua e palpito d'anime parlan d'Italia […] Giuseppe Mazzini a storia della marineria italiana ha origini più antiche dell’Unità d’Italia: basti pensare all’antica Roma o alle repubbliche marinare o a Cristoforo Colombo, L senza contare la marina sarda e quella borbonica. In ogni epoca, gli armatori ita- liani, le loro navi e i loro equipaggi hanno svolto un ruolo da protagonisti nelle vicen- de storiche, politiche ed economiche del Paese. Del resto, non avrebbe potuto essere diversamente, come suggeriscono le parole di Giuseppe Mazzini, che mi sembrano le più appropriate per celebrare i 150 anni dell’Unità d’Italia, perché sottolineano lo stretto legame tra la nostra terra e il nostro mare, le nostre isole e la nostra penisola, la nostra cultura e le culture che, in uno scambio reciproco, hanno contribuito a formarla e a farla primeggiare nel mondo.
