After the Austrians reconquered Venice in August 1849, multiple observers reported that Venetians protested their renewed subjugation via theatre boycotts (both formal and informal) and a refusal to participate in festive occasions. The ostentatious public silences that met the daily Austrian military band concerts in the city’s central piazza became a ritual that encouraged foreign observers to empathise with the Venetians’ plight. Whereas the gondolier’s song seemed to travel separate from the gondolier himself, the piazza’s design instead encour- aged a communal listening coloured by the politics of the local cafes. In the central section of the article, I explore the ramifications of silence, resistance and disconnections between sight and sound as they shape Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto, which premiered at Venice’s Teatro la Fenice in 1851. The scenes in Rigoletto most appreciated by the first Venetian audiences hinge on the power to observe and overhear, suggesting that early spectators experienced the opera through a mode of engagement born of the local material conditions and political circumstances. -

This article offers a new interpretation of the Wallachian revolution of . It places the revolution in its imperial and European contexts and suggests that the course of the revolution cannot be understood without reference to these spheres. The predominantly agrarian principality faced different but commensurate problems to other European states that experienced revolution in . Revolutionary leaders attempted to create a popular political culture in which all citizens, both urban and rural, could participate. This revolutionary community formed the basis of the gov- ernment’s attempts to enter into relations with its Ottoman suzerain and its Russian protector. Far from attempting to subvert the geopolitical order, this article argues that the Wallachians positioned themselves as loyal subjects of the sultan and saw their revolution as a meeting point between the Ottoman Empire and European civilization. The revolution was not a staging post on the road to Romanian unification, but a brief moment when it seemed possible to realize internal regeneration on a European model within an Ottoman imperial framework. But the Europe of was too unstable for the revolutionaries to succeed. The passing of this moment would lead some to lose faith in both the Ottoman Empire and Europe. -

In this chapter I will first present a brief synoptic overview of the history of the iwma (in its varied forms) in Italy and abroad from 1864 to 1881. I will then exam- ine interpretations of aspects of Italian Internationalism: Mazzinian Repub- licanism and the origins of anarchism, the Italians, Bakunin and interactions with Marx and his ideas, the theory and practice of propaganda by the deed and the rise of a third-way socialism neither fully reformist nor revolutionary, neither Marxist nor anarchist. -

Jewish Self-Defense Against the Blood Libel in Mid-Nineteenth Century Italy: the Badia Affair and Proceedings of the Castilliero Trial (1855-56)
QUEST N. 14 – FOCUS Jewish Self-Defense against the Blood Libel in Mid-Nineteenth Century Italy: The Badia Affair and Proceedings of the Castilliero Trial (1855-56) by Emanuele D’Antonio Abstract In 1855, the Badia affair, the sequel to a blood libel against a Jewish businessman in a Veneto town, temporarily put in question relations between state, society and the Jewish minority in the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom. After reconstructing the stages of the episode, the present article analyzes the strategies of response to the crisis resorted by the Jewry of Hapsburg Italy, then in the process of emancipation nearly achieved. With the support of state authorities, community leaders and Jewish intellectuals together with some Catholics, Venetian liberalism urged in favor of an apologetic explication to undermine majority prejudice. The effort led to the creation of a text, published as a supplement in the authoritative Eco dei Tribunali, which used the trial minutes against the slanderer, making the legal proceedings into a refutation of the ritual murder stereotype. Blood Libels in Restoration Italy Crisis and Resolution Preparing the Refutation The Blood Libel on Trial Useful Knowledge? ___________________ 25 Emanuele D’Antonio Blood Libels in Restoration Italy The Restoration coincided with the process of emancipation for Italian Jewry when it became the victim of a new, now little-known wave of blood libels. The six documented cases took place between 1824 and 1860 in cities and towns of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom, the Papal States, and the Kingdom of Sardinia.1 The accusations of ritual murder were local in scope overall; urban Jewish communities of varying size and demographic and socio-economic makeup were involved. -

IRB protocol # ____________________ iii Abstract Polidori-Scordo-Noya, Angela (Ph.D., Comparative Literature) The Mother, the Beloved, and the Third Woman—Symbolic Exchanges: A Literary Model in Nievo, Tarchetti and Svevo Thesis directed by Professor Valerio Ferme The process of representation, which has been diagnosed at the root of our Western drive to know, according to modern thinkers, is inseparable from the imperial speaking subject. Such realization has led to a crisis in subjectivity that has forced us to question notions that in the past have anchored our sense of legitimacy. In literature, this crisis has been articulated as the dissolutions of the paternal fiction, understood as the guarantor of our heritage. -
Castelfranco Veneto Verso L'unità
1 CASTELFRANCO VENETO VERSO L’UNITÀ 1. Premessa Il 1861, anno dell‟Unità d‟Italia, fu, certamente per Castelfranco e il Veneto intero, una tappa fondamentale del cammino unitario, che sarebbe stato sanzionato formalmente dal decreto regio n. 3300 del 4 novembre 1866, con il quale veniva stabilito l‟unione al Regno d‟Italia delle province venete, delle attuali province di Udine, Pordenone e Mantova, rimasta in mano austriaca anche dopo il 1859, sussistendo proprio a Mantova uno dei quattro punti di forza del famigerato Quadrilatero (gli altri punti erano: Verona, Legnago e Peschiera). A questo cammino diedero il loro contributo volontario in armi tra il 1848 e il 1866 ben 306 cittadini castellani, quasi tutti in giovanissima età, alcuni di essi anche adolescenti, 9 dei quali morirono per la causa unitaria, tutti ricordati nella lapide infissa nell’atrio al pianterreno del municipio (fig. 1). 1 2 Spicca tra le schiere di giovani che combatterono nelle file garibaldine e dell‟esercito prima piemontese (1848 e 1859) e poi italiano (sino al 1866), la figura di Antonio Guidolin detto “dei Mille” (fig. 2), il solo castellano partecipante a tutta la spedizione condotta da Giuseppe Garibaldi nel 1860. 2 3 Tutti i nomi dei 306 cittadini castellani, inclusi coloro che sostennero la causa unitaria nella cospirazione segreta, sono „scolpiti nel Monumento ai Volontari della Città di Castelfranco accorsi a difesa della Patria stampato in città dalla Tipografia Longo nel 1867: un documento da ritenere memoria oggettiva e indiscutibile della reale entità del contributo dato da Castelfranco all‟Unità (fig. 3). 3 4 2. -

Transnational, national, and local perspectives on Venice and Venetia within the ʻmultinationalʼ empire The so-called seconda dominazione austriaca of Venice and Venetia lasted from 1814 to 1866, punctuated only by the revolutionary parenthesis of 1848–9. This half century of rule from Vienna has traditionally been seen as a period of exploitative and insensitive government backed by heavy- handed policing, restrictive censorship, and ultimately dependent on the presence of regiments of white-coated Croat and Austrian troops. -

It is a veritable rite—literally, a rite of passage—which is carried out collectively. Its meanings and purposes are very different to those of the introspective or contemplative solitary walk. Instead, it regularly involves hundreds or thousands of participants spurred on by the desires and pleasures of open-air leisure; socialisation; looking at others and being looked at in turn; exercising a status, economic class, and/or gender and age-class prerogatives. -
