His use of the Italian language stands out as a model. 1828 - 1829 Italy Rediscovering The Past The Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II and Charles X of France finance the archaeological expedition to Egypt headed by Ippolito Rossellini and Jean-Francois Champollion. 1829 Italy Music, Literature, Dance And Fashion Gioachino Rossini puts on stage in Paris his last opera, Guillaume Tell, featuring the fight of the Swiss people for freedom from Habsburg domination.

    CHAPTER 11 The Italian Renaissance and Beyond: The Politics of Culture, 1350 - 1550 CHAPTER OUTLINE I. The Cradle of the Renaissance: The Italian City-States Renaissance Italy was distinguished by the large number and political autonomy of its thriving city-states, the development of which can be divided into two distinct phases: the republicanism phase of the eleventh century and the principality phase of the fourteenth century. A. The Renaissance Republics: Florence and Venice In contrast to the majority of the Italian city-states, Florence and Venice held steadfastly to the traditions of republicanism under the patriciate system of political and artistic influence by a few great families. 1. Florence Under the Medici The amazingly wealthy banker Cosimo de' Medici emerged as the greatest of the Renaissance patrons. Seizing Florentine political power in 1434, Cosimo enforced a long period of unprecedented peace in which the arts could flourish. Always at the center of Florence's political affairs, Cosimo nevertheless rarely held formal office and shrewdly preferred to leverage influence behind the scenes. 2. Venice, the Cosmopolitan Republic Venice, the first European power to control colonies abroad, conquered a number of ports along the Geek coast. The resulting influx of exotic goods transformed Venice into a giant in the economics of the region and cosmopolitan in its social scope. Defined primarily by its social stability, the Venetian city- state became (and still is) the longest surviving republic in history at roughly five hundred years of independent affluence. B. Princes and Courtiers The ideals of the Renaissance, though created within the republican city-states, soon spread to the principalities ruled by one man (the prince).

  • LABOUREUR, Francesco by Federico Trastulli - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 62 (2004)
    LABOUREUR, Francesco by Federico Trastulli - Biographical Dictionary of Italians - Volume 62 (2004) The son of Massimiliano, a sculptor originally from Brussels, and of Paola Salomoni, the Laboureur was born in Rome on 11 November. 1767. He was baptized in the parish of S. Lorenzo in Lucina with the names of Francesco, Filippo and Simone (Rome, Arch., Historian of the Vicariate, S. Lorenzo in Lucina, Liber baptizatorum, 32, c 127v); the fact that the Laboureur was better known as Francesco Massimiliano, or "Cavalier Massimiliano" after the conferral of the knighthood of the papal order of the Golden Spur, has generated confusion regarding the news concerning the biography and the works referable to him, to his father and son Alessandro Massimiliano. The Laboureur devoted himself early to sculpture, learning the rudiments in the family; he attended the courses of the Accademia di S. Luca, obtaining the second place at the Clementino Prize of 1783. His fortune in the Roman environment was linked to the figure of the French F. Cacault, minister plenipotentiary in Rome as well as great patron, who already in a letter of 1801 signaled to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ch.-M. de Talleyrand, the excellent workmanship of a marble bust of Napoleon who commissioned the sculptor, part of a larger group of works he collected, now at the Musée des beaux-arts in Nantes. There is news about the working of a second bust of Bonaparte in another letter from Cacault, announcing how he had in mind to make the Laboureur also a colossal statue of Napoleon, at the time the first consul.

  • Il Cardinale Pietro Gasparri Segretario Di Stato (1914–1930)
    Lorenzo Botrugno Gasparri ed i rapporti con il Regno Unito nel pontificato di Pio XI Spunti per la ricerca a partire dalle sessioni della Congregazione degli Affari Ecclesiastici Straordinari Abstract Through unpublished documentary sources – the minutes of the meetings of the Sacred Congregation of Extraordinary Ecclesiastical Affairs – the essay aims to illustrate Pietro Gasparri’s privileged perspective over anglo-vatican relations. While mainly focused on his period as Cardinal Secretary of State of Pius XI (1922–1930), some hints will also be given to his tenure of office during the pontificate of Benedict XV, as well as to Consalvi’s and Rampolla’s influence on his way of perceiving British matters. Gasparri’s role and at­ titude will be analysed with particular reference to the negotiations on the appointments of Apostolic Delegates in the British Empire (1926) and the conflict between Church and State in Malta (1928–1932). 1 Introduzione Nel giudizio storiografico la persona e l’opera del Gasparri sono state associate, da sempre, a quella corrente della diplomazia pontificia che si richiama al realismo ed alla flessibilità nella ricerca di intese con gli Stati 1: è dal 1932 che Ernesto Vercesi ne percepì la figura allineata a quella di due suoi predecessori al vertice della Segreteria di Stato, i cardinali Ercole Consalvi e Mariano Rampolla del Tindaro, ognuno dei quali rappresentava natu­ 1 Tale fu, ad esempio, la percezione di Giovanni Spadolini: “Gasparri era, e restava in ogni atto della sua vita, il grand commis della Chiesa, il grande diplomatico spregiudicato e scettico, armato con tutti i ferri del mestiere ma capace di tutte le duttilità e di tutte le astuzie, pur di servire un fine che egli giudicava essenziale”.

    THE FLORENTINE HOUSE OF MEDICI (1389-1743): POLITICS, PATRONAGE, AND THE USE OF CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SHAPING THE RENAISSANCE By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP A thesis submitted to the Graduate School—New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Art History written under the direction of Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. and approved by _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Florentine House of Medici (1389-1743): Politics, Patronage, and the Use of Cultural Heritage in Shaping the Renaissance By NICHOLAS J. CUOZZO, MPP Thesis Director: Archer St. Clair Harvey, Ph.D. A great many individuals and families of historical prominence contributed to the development of the Italian and larger European Renaissance through acts of patronage. Among them was the Florentine House of Medici. The Medici were an Italian noble house that served first as the de facto rulers of Florence, and then as Grand Dukes of Tuscany, from the mid-15th century to the mid-18th century. This thesis evaluates the contributions of eight consequential members of the Florentine Medici family, Cosimo di Giovanni, Lorenzo di Giovanni, Giovanni di Lorenzo, Cosimo I, Cosimo II, Cosimo III, Gian Gastone, and Anna Maria Luisa, and their acts of artistic, literary, scientific, and architectural patronage that contributed to the cultural heritage of Florence, Italy. This thesis also explores relevant social, political, economic, and geopolitical conditions over the course of the Medici dynasty, and incorporates primary research derived from a conversation and an interview with specialists in Florence in order to present a more contextual analysis.
