This booklet brings that responsibility to life: reecting on past actions; highlighting important moments; and referencing notable quotes from past eminent Members, while describing the maor changes that have taken place throughout the last 70 years. I am pleased to share this special landmark edition with you, as a memento of the 200th session of the Executive Board. I trust you will read it with as much enthusiasm as I did, and that you will enoy the memories it provides. Over the past 200 sessions the composition of our membership has changed and grown considerably from 18 to 58. The work of the Executive Board in our early days was much different from the work of our Board today. One thing, nonetheless, is immutable: the dedication and determination of each and every one of us has remained steadfast, to ensure that the work of UNESCO responds to the needs of its Member States.

It was before the UNESCO Executive Board that the Egyptologist Christiane Desroches Noblecourt launched her appeal to save the Temples of Nubia. It is in the Board that intellectuals and politicians of the stature of Amadou Hampt B, Pablo Neruda, Indira Gandhi, Archibald McLeish, and so many others, have shared their hopes and their determination to build a world that is more ust, more peaceful and more respectful of human dignity, based on lasting peace.

AVAILABLE FROM Manhattan Publishing Co., 225 Lafayette Street, New York, New York 10012 ($9.50) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.76 HC Not Available from EDRS. PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Cultural Exchange; Cultural Interrelationships; *Diplomatic History; European History; Exchange Programs; Foreign Countries; Foreign Policy; *Foreign Relations; *Intercultural Programs; *International Education; Political Science IDENTIFIERS *Europe; France; Germany; Italy; United Kingdom ABSTRACT The evolution of European government activities in the sphere of international cultural relations is examined. Section 1 describes the period between World War I and World War II when European governments tried to enhance their prestige and policies by means of cultural propaganda. Section 2 analyzes the period during World War II when the cohabitation of several exiled governments in the United Kingdom led to the impetus and development of both bilateral and collective forms of cultural diplomacy. The third section deals with the cultural diplomacy of specific countries including France, Italy, the Federal German Republic, and the United Kingdom. French cultural diplomacy is presented at the model, and an attempt is made to show how the other three countries vary from that model. Section 4 examines the collective experiences of three groups of countries in the field of cultural diplomacy. Attention is first given to the largely homogeneous group of five Nordic countries, which evolved a practice of collective cultural diplomacy among themselves. By way of contrast, the seven countries of the Western European Union including Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, Luxembourg, the Federal German Republic, and Italy exhibit a system of collective cultural cooperation worked out to implement a clause of a treaty after World War II.

  • Pellagra in Late Nineteenth Century Italy: Effects of a Deficiency Disease
    Monica GINNAIO* Pellagra in Late Nineteenth Century Italy: Effects of a Deficiency Disease Pellagra, a nutritional defi ciency disease linked to a defi cit in vitamin B3 (niacin), affected – and until recently continued to affect – poor populations whose diet consisted almost exclusively of maize (corn) for prolonged periods. It appeared in the eighteenth century, and up to the early twentieth it was still found in parts of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Eastern Europe and the United States. In the twentieth century, pellagra was present in Egypt and some eastern and southern African countries, including South Africa. In this article, which focuses on nineteenth-century Italy and particularly the Veneto, the most severely affected Italian region, Monica GINNAIO reviews the history and epidemiology of the disease, then analyses differences in prevalence and mortality by region, occupational status, age group and sex. She shows the predominance of the disease among the most disadvantaged social groups and women of reproductive age, though no massive impact on fertility has been detected. The main purpose of this study is to identify why the disease known as pellagra, endemic in Italy in the late nineteenth century, was strongly selective by place of residence, occupational category, age and sex. Pellagra is a vitamin defi ciency disease caused by a diet consisting almost exclusively of maize (corn), and was particularly severe among farming families in Veneto and Lombardy from the late eighteenth century to the interwar period. To better understand the social “preferences” of pellagra, this study adopts several analytic perspectives – epidemiology, history, history of medicine, gender studies and social history – thereby bringing to light the connections between the cultural, social and epidemiological factors that led to this selection, a selection that was not without demographic consequences.

Padre Agostino Gemelli and the crusade to rechristianize Italy, 1878–1959: Part one Abstract Padre Agostino Gemelli (1878-1959) was an outstanding figure in Catholic culture and a shrewd operator on many levels in Italy, especially during the Fascist period. Yet he remains little examined or understood. Scholars tend to judge him solely in light of the Fascist regime and mark him as the archetypical clerical fascist. Gemelli founded the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore in Milan in 1921, the year before Mussolini came to power, in order to form a new leadership class for a future Catholic state. This religiously motivated political goal was intended to supersede the anticlerical Liberal state established by the unifiers of modern Italy in 1860. After Mussolini signed the Lateran Pacts with the Vatican in 1929, Catholicism became the officialeligion r of Italy and Gemelli’s university, under the patronage of Pope Pius XI (1922-1939), became a laboratory for Catholic social policies by means of which the church might bring the Fascist state in line with canon law and papal teachings.

  • Archivio Jacini
    Archivio di Stato di Cremona Archivio Jacini Titolo I Famiglia Jacini Revisione 2019 a cura di Silvia Rigato con la collaborazione dei volontari del Servizio Civile Nazionale anno 2017-2018 II L’archivio Jacini è stato depositato in Archivio di Stato nel 2016. Si presentava sostanzialmente già ordinato e corredato da inventari manoscritti redatti a metà Novecento da Francesco Forte, archivista presso l’Archivio di Stato Milano, su incarico di Stefano Jacini. Le carte sono state suddivise da Forte in cinque titoli: Famiglia, Fondi e case, Amministrazione, Ditta Jacini, Miscellanea. In questa sede si propone la trascrizione del primo titolo, diviso a sua volta in gruppi, ciascuno dei quali corrispondente a un membro della famiglia. Nel lavoro di trascrizione e revisione degli inventari, si è cercato il più possibile di rispettare l’ordinamento di Francesco Forte, salvo che per i gruppi 28 e 33, in cui erano state aggiunte a posteriori delle buste in coda a quelle già riordinate ed erano stati scambiati o modificati (aggiunti o sottratti) i contenuti di numerosi fascicoli. In questi casi si è optato per il riordino complessivo del gruppo: rimandiamo pertanto alle note introduttive di queste sezioni per i dettagli. Ove possibile, inoltre, è stata riunita in un unico fascicolo la corrispondenza di uno stesso mittente al fine di alleggerire la descrizione che, pur essendo ancora molto analitica, è ora meno ripetitiva. A fronte dei cambiamenti apportati, il presente inventario riporta sia la nuova fascicolazione, sia le precedenti segnature assegnate da Francesco Forte; in tal modo rimane la possibilità di operare un riscontro con gli inventari manoscritti e al contempo non si perde traccia della loro posizione originaria.

  • Business Forms, Capital Democratization and Innovation:Ion
    Monika Poettinger Bocconi University, Milan BUSINESS FORMS, CAPITAL DEMOCRATIZATION AND INNOVATIONION:::: MILAN IN THE 1850s ABSTRACT Lombardy´s economy in the 1850´s was characterized by extensive networks of personal relations, credit by trust and family businesses. Milan´s wealth was maximized by maintaining the mercantile identity of the city, while manufacturing innovation was pursued only when economic profitable or strategic to further growth. Thanks to a sample including extensive data on almost two hundred firms in existence in Milan from 1852 to 1861, it is possible to reconstruct the mechanisms governing such economy: how liquidity was collected and distributed, how partnerships were formed, inside which social circles were partners found, how much kinship ties determined business decisions, what criteria proved relevant in the investment decision making processes, how were innovation and entrepreneurship rewarded. The picture emerging from the sample will vindicate the capacity of Milan´s mercantile elite to foster innovation through the efficient allocation of capital and the creation of entrepreneurial capital, averting at the same time disastrous financial crises: the solid base of the successive development of the region. Monika Poettinger MILAN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY “Each sharecropping farm, in Lombardy, produces rice, cheese and silk to be sold for considerable sums, and also every other possible product; it is an inexhaustible land where everything is cheap” 1 Milan´s onlookers in the middle of the nineteenth century saw an incredible richness apparently springing from the surrounding agriculture. Entrepreneurship, on the contrary, was considered scarce 2 and local manufactures judged as hopelessly lagging behind English ones.
