During the winter we had enjoyed fascinating lectures on modern Italy, Italian cinema and renaissance politics in Venice, plus a festive Christmas Dinner in Islington. But a national 29 lockdown, introduced to stop the spread of the Covid-19 virus, forced us to suspend our programme in March.

Across the centuries, olive trees are the only cultivated plants that tell the story of Mediterranean landscapes. The same as stone monuments, these green monuments represent a real Mediterranean natural and cultural heritage. The aim of this paper is to discuss the value of monumental trees as “biocultural heritage” elements and the role they play in Citation: Schicchi, R.; Speciale, C.; the interpretation of the historical stratification of the landscape.

  • New Bernardo Bio.Pdf
    Dear Guadagni Family and Friends. I have just found in Internet in Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani of the Treccani Encyclopedia, the most important Encyclopedia in Italy, four new biographies, two of the Guadagni brothers, Bernardo (1367- 1434), the one who arrested Cosimo de’Medici and sent him into exile, and Vieri (1369-1426), our direct ancestor, the third of Simone Guadagni (1411-1480), son of above mentioned Vieri, our direct ancestor and also of all the other branches of the Guadagni Family, including the French, and also of the Torrigiani and the Dufour Berte, and the fourth of Migliore Guadagni (died in 1383), Bernardo and Vieri’s grandfather and our direct ancestor, all four by contemporary historian Raffaella Zaccaria Raffaella Zaccaria As we know, historian Passerini wrote about all of them in 1871, and all of our families have a copy of his book, which I translated in English a few years ago, at Vieri’s request. Passerini’s book is the backbone of all the lives of the Guadagnis in the Guadagni Family Website. He was a famous historian of the 19th century, and other Florentine noble families had their family history written by him also. What fascinates me is that 132 years later, in 2003, a new historian, Raffaella Zaccaria, writes the lives of some of them, not copying Passerini, but using new contemporary research and findings, for the Biographical Dictionary of the Italians, paid by Treccani Encyclopedia. These Guadagni ancestors of ours are famous Italians, who shaped and created the history of Italy and through it the history of the world.

For three hundred and fifty years, through twelve generations, the Medici lived in, work in, and to a considerable degree ruled the city. No Medici name rises higher in recorded history than Lorenzo di Piero de’ Medici. Lorenzo il Magnifico is remembered as a patron of the arts, poet, humanist, diplomat and savior of Florence during the Pazzi War. His legacy as a competent banker, manager and caretaker of the family business empire is sadly much less triumphant. Through the “quirks of genealogical fortune”, including a string of untimely deaths of male members of the Medici, Lorenzo found himself to be the sole owner of the Medici Bank in its sixth decade of business.

  • CCJR ANNUAL MEETING PROCEEDING the Pope Francis
    Studies in Christian-Jewish Relations CCJR ANNUAL MEETING PROCEEDING The Pope Francis Effect and Catholic-Jewish Relations1 Noam E. Marans, American Jewish Committee In evaluating the trajectory of Catholic-Jewish Relations in the Pope Francis era, one picture is worth a thousand words. Pope Francis has identified Marc Chagall’s White Cru- cifixion as one of his favorite paintings.2 In the aftermath of Kristallnacht in 1938, when hundreds of European synagogues were torched, foreshadowing greater evil yet to come, Chagall artistically interpreted the threat of Nazism within the continu- um of anti-Semitism. A “Jewish Jesus” is on the cross, wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) loincloth and surrounded by scenes of persecuted and fleeing Jews. A synagogue and its Torah scrolls are engulfed in flames, torched by a Nazi brownshirt. Using conflicting imagery, Chagall delivers his warning: the Jews who were persecuted as Christ-killers are now crucified as Jesus the Jew once was. Pope Francis did not hesitate to publicly herald a painting featuring a syncretistic “Jewish Jesus” that certainly has the potential to offend, notwithstanding the facts of Jesus’ historic Jewishness and the painter’s Jewish identity. It speaks volumes about Francis’ empathy with the Jewish people and lack of concern that his admiration for the painting might be controversial or misinterpreted. And the absence of negative 1 A version of this paper was delivered on October 26, 2014 at the CCJR (Council of Centers on Jewish-Christian Relations) 13th Annual Meeting in Mobile, Alabama. With gratitude, I acknowledge the research assistance of my AJC colleague, Dahlia Herzog, in preparation of this article.
