  • La Défense Du Paradis Fiscal Suisse Avant La Seconde
    CHRISTOPHE FARQUET Il y a un siècle, le secret bancaire suisse était remis en cause pour la première fois sur la scène internationale. LA DÉFENSE DU PARADIS FISCAL SUISSE Ce livre étudie comment les dirigeants helvétiques sont parvenus à faire AVANT LA SECONDE GUERRE MONDIALE : face aux pressions internationales, qui apparaissent après le premier conflit FARQUET CHRISTOPHE mondial, pour empêcher le placement en Suisse des capitaux étrangers en UNE HISTOIRE INTERNATIONALE HISTOIRE fuite. Fruit d’une recherche très vaste sur des sources inédites, issues de nombreux fonds d’archives suisses et européennes, l’ouvrage renouvelle les connaissances sur l’histoire de la place financière helvétique et des relations économiques internationales au cours de la première moitié du XXe siècle. L’analyse démontre que les autorités fédérales, de concert avec le patronat bancaire et industriel, ont élaboré un ensemble de stratégies visant non seulement à écarter les attaques à l’encontre du secret bancaire et des avantages fiscaux, mais encore à renforcer l’attractivité du centreoffshore suisse, notamment par le biais de la signature des premières conventions de double imposition. Si cette politique ne trouve pas d’équivalent à l’étranger, elle a cependant constamment reçu d’importants appuis auprès des élites européennes. En se penchant sur les premiers épisodes de l’histoire de la protection du secret bancaire, La défense du paradis fiscal suisse avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale réintègre ainsi les événements actuels dans une perspective de plus longue durée. OIRE INTERNATIONALE Christophe Farquet est titulaire d’un doctorat en histoire. Il est actuelle- ment maître-assistant à l’Institut Paul Bairoch de l’Université de Genève.

  • Le Nigeria Et La Suisse, Des Affaires D'indépendance
    STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Analyser les rapports économiques et diplomatiques entre le Nigeria et la Suisse revient à se pencher sur des méca- nismes peu connus de la globalisation: ceux d’une relation Nord-Sud entre deux puissances moyennes et non colo- niales. Pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, le Nigeria semblait en passe de devenir, à l’aube de son indépendance, une puissance économique continentale. La Suisse, comme d’autres pays, espérait profiter de ce vaste marché promis à une expansion rapide. Entreprises multinationales, diplo- mates et coopérants au développement sont au centre de cet ouvrage, qui s’interroge sur les motivations, les moyens mis en œuvre et les impacts des activités de chacun. S’y ajoutent des citoyens suisses de tous âges et de tous mi- lieux qui, bouleversés par les images télévisées d’enfants squelettiques durant la « Guerre du Biafra » en 1968, en- treprirent des collectes de fonds et firent pression sur leur gouvernement pour qu’il intervienne. Ce livre donne une profondeur éclairante aux relations Suisse – Nigeria, ré- cemment médiatisées sur leurs aspects migratoires, ou sur les pratiques opaques de négociants en pétrole établis en Suisse. STEVE PAGE a obtenu un doctorat en histoire contempo- raine de l’Université de Fribourg et fut chercheur invité à l’IFRA Nigeria et au King’s College London. Il poursuit des recherches sur la géopolitique du Nigeria. www.peterlang.com Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Bern · Berlin · Bruxelles · Frankfurt am Main · New York · Oxford · Wien Information bibliographique publiée par «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» «Die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek» répertorie cette publication dans la «Deutsche Nationalbibliografi e»; les données bibliographiques détaillées sont disponibles sur Internet sous ‹http://dnb.d-nb.de›.

  • Un'antica Famiglia Patrizia Di Brissago: I Codonini Genealogia E
    ESTRATTO DAL BOLLETTINO GENEALOGICO DELLA SVIZZERA ITALIANA • ANNO XX • NUMERO 20 • DICEMBRE 2016 Orlando NOSETTI1 Un’antica famiglia patrizia di Brissago: i Codonini Genealogia e strategie familiari Introduzione Il 9 febbraio 1947 all’età di novantun anni si spegneva a Brissago Rosa Codoni- ni, soprannominata in ambito familiare «zia Zen», figlia di Gaetano ed Elisabetta Giuseppa Zanoni. Dopo aver lavorato per molti anni nella Fabbrica Tabacchi di Brissago e aver vissuto a lungo con la sorella Teresa, vedova di Giuseppe Nosetti, Rosa dovette essere ricoverata dapprima al San Donato di Intragna (dal 7 feb- braio 1939), in seguito al San Carlo di Locarno e infine, dal 1° settembre 1942, nella Casa San Giorgio di Brissago, dove appunto morì di marasma senile.2 La sua scomparsa segnò anche la fine dell’ultimo ramo dei Codonini, una delle famiglie patrizie più antiche di Brissago, come documentano in modo inequivocabile i libri parrocchiali. Risalire alle lontane origini dei Codonini, rico- struirne le varie generazioni che si sono succedute a partire dal capostipite, descrivere le condizioni materiali della loro vita, inquadrandole nel contesto dell’epoca, illustrare qualche tratto del carattere di alcuni dei discendenti: questi sono i temi principali trattati in questo testo, frutto di approfondite ricerche negli archivi storici del comune di Brissago e della Parrocchia. Teresa Codonini in Nosetti Dal capostipite Antonio Codonino alla bisnonna Teresa La prima attestazione certa della presenza di questa famiglia a Brissago risale al 1595: il 5 agosto di quell’anno infatti fu battezzata «una figliola d’An- tonio Codonino de Icella et de Jacomina della Mayna sua moglier, […] alla quale fu posto il nome di Giòanina».

Quinn: Canton Ticino And The Italian Swiss Immigration To California Canton Ticino and the Italian Swiss Immigration to California by Tony Quinn “The southernmost of Switzerland’s twenty-six cantons, the Ticino, may speak Italian, sing Italian, eat Italian, drink Italian and rival any Italian region in scenic beauty—but it isn’t Italy,” so writes author Paul Hofmann1 describing the one Swiss canton where Italian is the required language and the cultural tie is to Italy to the south, not to the rest of Switzerland to the north. Unlike the German and French speaking parts of Switzerland with an identity distinct from Germany and France, Italian Switzerland, which accounts for only five percent of the country, clings strongly to its Italian heritage. But at the same time, the Ticinese2 are fully Swiss, very proud of being part of Switzerland, and with an air of disapproval of Italy’s ever present government crises and its tie to the European Union and the Euro zone, neither of which Ticino has the slightest interest in joining.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. Quinn: The Italian Swiss DNA The Italian Swiss DNA by Tony Quinn* DNA testing is the new frontier in genealogical research. While the paper records of American and European churches and civil bodies are now generally available on line, DNA opens a new avenue of research into the period well before the advent of written records. And it is allowing people to make connections heretofore impossible to make. Recent historical examples are nothing short of amazing. When the bodies thought to be the last Russian Czar and his family, murdered in 1918, were discovered, a 1998 test using the DNA of Prince Philip proved conclusively that the bodies were indeed the Czar and his family. That is because Prince Philip and the Czarina Alexandra shared the same maternal line, and thus the same mitochondrial DNA. Even more remarkable was the "king in the car park," a body found under a parking lot in England thought to be King Richard III, killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.
