Thesis, I.A.A.S., YORK 1986 ABSTRACT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The aim of the study has been to investigate the This study was made possible due to the history and development of major national European encouragement and generous support, in all phases of philosophies, i.e. those in Italy, England, France and the work, by my tutors Dr Derek Linstrum, who helped Germanic countries, in respect to historic buildings, to define and develop the subject and the structure of monuments and sites, the cross fertilization of these the thesis instructing in the methods of research and ideas and principles, and their contribution towards in typographical and linguistic problems, and Sir an international approach in the treatment of historic Bernard Feilden, Director Emeritus of ICCROM, structures. Five case studies have been examined who had the study accepted as an official project at in depth for examples in the treatment of historic ICCROM including a sabatical period of archival buildings; these are the Colosseum (Rome), the study, and who continuously gave his warm support temple of Athena Nike (Athens), Durham Cathedral and practical assistance to the work.

The study extends My work at ICCROM as the coordinator of training from the Italian Renaissance over to the period in architectural conservation and the personal contacts following the Second World War, and distinguishes with the work of restoration and conservation in many between the traditional approach to the treatment countries has been the main reason for my undertaking of historic monuments, the ‘romantic restoration’ the study. I am particularly grateful to Professor Paul established in the Italian Renaissance and developed Philippot, Director Emeritus of ICCROM, for his particularly in the nineteenth century (Schinkel, inspiring lectures and many interesting discussions Scott, Mérimée, Viollet-le-Duc), the ‘conservation through which I was introduced to a critical movement’ emphasizing the material authenticity and appreciation of conservation theory and practice, as documentary value of the monument (Ruskin, Morris, well as for his comments and advice on this study. Boito), and the modern conservation theory which is I am thankful to the present Director of ICCROM based on a critical historical evaluation of the work Professor Cevat Erder for his critical archaeological of art in its aesthetic, historical and use values (Riegl, insight, his insistence on the correct interpretation of Argan, Brandi), and is reflected in the Venice Charter conservation theory, as well as for his support to the (1964) and in the policy of ICCROM and ICOMOS. work. The close collaboration with the Scuola di Perfezionamento per lo Studio ed il Restauro dei Monumenti of the University of Rome and its founding Director Professor Guglielmo De Angelis d’Ossat, under whose direction the programmes of the International Architectural Conservation Course were developed, has helped me to form a basis and a broad historical critical understanding of the subject.

  • The Garden Designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765)
    2-4 GS Reeve + RS CORR NEW_baj gs 4/9/13 10:02 PM Page 9 The BRITISH ART Journal Volume XIII, No. 3 Of Druids, the Gothic, and the origins of architecture The garden designs of William Stukeley (1687–1765) Matthew M Reeve illiam Stukeley’s central place in the historiogra- phy of eighteenth-century England is hardly Winsecure.1 His published interpretations of the megalithic monuments at Avebury (1743) and Stonehenge (1740) earned him a prominent position in the history of archaeology, and his Vetusta Monumenta ensured his rep- utation as a draughtsman and antiquarian. Recent research has shown that Stukeley was a polymath, whose related interests in astrology, Newtonian natural history and theol- ogy formed part of a broader Enlightenment world view.2 Yet, in the lengthy scholarship on Stukeley, insufficient attention has been paid to his interest in another intellectu- al and aesthetic pursuit of eighteenth-century cognoscenti: garden design.3 Stukeley’s voluminous manuscripts attest to his role as an avid designer of gardens, landscapes and garden build- ings. His own homes were the subjects of his most interesting achievements, including his hermitages at Kentish Town (1760), Stamford (Barnhill, 1744 and Austin Street 1737), and Grantham (1727).4 In this, Stukeley can be located among a number of ‘gentleman gardeners’ in the first half of the eighteenth century from the middling classes and the aristocracy.5 He toured gardens regularly, and recorded many of them in his books, journals and cor- respondence. His 1724 Itinerarium Curiosum recounts his impressions of gardens, including the recent work at Blenheim Palace and the ‘ha-ha’ in particular, and his unpublished notebooks contain a number of sketches such as the gardens at Grimsthorpe, Lincs., where he was a reg- ular visitor.6 Stukeley also designed a handful of garden buildings, apparently as gifts for friends and acquaintances.

  • Blackstone As Architect: Constructing the Commentaries
    Blackstone as Architect: Constructing the Commentaries Wilfrid Prest* On January 28, 1746, as Cumberland's forces pursued the retreating Jacobite army into Scotland, a twenty-three year old newly-minted Bachelor of Civil Law and junior fellow of All Souls College sat down to write a characteristically cheerful letter to his lawyer uncle Seymour Richmond, shortly after reaching "my new Habitation (which is at Mr Stoke's a Limner in Arundel St)."' In the light of what is becoming clear about William Blackstone's own accomplishments and interests in draftsmanship and the visual arts, his choice of London lodgings was perhaps not entirely accidental. Be that as it may, this report on what was seemingly Blackstone's first serious encounter with the common law (even though he had by now accumulated a full five years' standing at the Middle Temple), exudes a jaunty self-confidence, couched in topically martial language: "I have stormed one Book of Littleton, & opened my Trenches before ye 2d; and I can with Pleasure say I have met with no Difficulty of Consequence...." Having established that even the * Australian Research Council Australian Professorial Fellow, University of Adelaide. This paper is part of William Blackstone. Life and Works, an Australian Research Council Discovery Project (DP0210901) at the University of Adelaide which aims to produce a full- length biography, together with annotated editions of Blackstone's correspondence and architectural writings.

  • Mani Pulite) Inquiry on Corruption and Its Effects on the Italian Political System
    62 ALBERTO VANNUCCI THE “CLEAN HANDS” (MANI PULITE) INQUIRY ON CORRUPTION AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE ITALIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM THE “CLEAN HANDS” (MANI PULITE) INQUIRY ON CORRUPTION AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE ITALIAN POLITICAL SYSTEM Alberto Vannucci Dipartimento di Scienze Politiche, Università di Pisa [email protected] Abstract: The article offers a survey of the main effects of judicial inquiry on corruption in Italy (the “mani pulite” inquiry) and scandals on the political and party system. Some data on the evolution and achievements of the inquiry mani pulite are briefly offered, then focusing on the political consequences of the scandal in terms of delegitimization and consequent crisis of leading political figures, parties, and the political system as a whole. There is then a brief focus on the “lesson” of mani pulite – what did not work in political, institutional and societal mechanisms that should have provided a shelter against systemic corruption. Finally, the main long-term drawbacks of the judicial inquiry are analysed, e.g. the political career of the media tycoon Berlusconi, who was himself prosecuted for corruption crimes, with a dramatic increase of the institutional conflict between the political and the judicial power. Keywords: Corruption; Parties, Italian Political System; “Mani Pulite” Inquiry; Scandal. Resumo: O presente artigo apresenta um levantamento dos principais efeitos do inquérito judicial sobre a corrupção na Itália (especificamente a “Operação Mãos Limpas”) e os escândalos no sistema político e partidário do país. Alguns dados sobre a evolução e os alcances da Operação Mãos Limpas são brevemente expostos. Foca-se a atenção nas consequências políticas de tal escândalo em termos da deslegitimação e a consequente crise de liderança das figuras políticas, dos partidos e do sistema político como um todo.

John Kavulich, senior policy adviser [corrected president] at the U.S.-Cuba Trade & Economic Council, told Inside U.S. Trade that despite constant pressure from the business community, the Obama Administration, in these regulatory changes, did not make meaningful progress on several key business priorities. During an Oct. 14 conference call on the regulatory changes, a senior administration official said “we're mindful of the clock. And this is certainly likely the last significant tranche of changes. But there are always additional refinements that we can do to our policies, as my Treasury and Commerce colleagues know well." For Kavulich, that is something that “is not what the United States business community wants to hear.” Similarly, attorney and Cuba analyst Robert Muse describes the latest regulatory changes as short of what was expected and lacking significance overall. The business community’s top four priorities, according to Kavulich, are: expanding imports of Cuban agriculture products; substantive options to expand U.S.

Avoiding the travails of the road, you arrived by ship at the port of Ostia; from there, you’ve had a short journey up the Via Ostiensis into Roma herself. What do you see there? 3 Quam pulchra est urbs aeterna! • What is there to see in Rome? • What are some monuments you have heard of? • How old are the buildings in Rome? • How long would it take you to see everything important? 4 Map of Roma 5 The Roman Forum • “According to the Roman legend, Romulus and Tatius, after the mediation of the Sabine women, met on the very spot where the battle had been fought, and made peace and an alliance. The spot, a low, damp, grassy field, exposed to the floods of the river Spinon, took the name of “Comitium” from the verb coire, to assemble. It is possible that, in consequence of the alliance, a road connecting the Sabine and the Roman settlements was made across these swamps; it became afterwards the Sacra Via…. 6 The Roman Forum • “…Tullus Hostilius, the third king, built a stone inclosure on the Comitium, for the meeting of the Senators, named from him Curia Hostilia; then came the state prison built by Ancus Marcius in one of the quarries (the Tullianum). The Tarquin [kings] drained the land, gave the Forum a regular (trapezoidal) shape, divided the space around its borders into building- lots, and sold them to private speculators for shops and houses, the fronts of which were to be lined with porticoes.” --Rodolfo Lanciani, The Ruins and Excavations of Ancient Rome, 1897, p.

Newly merged parties (PdL, PD) were successful in retaining their former voters; parties which looked as if they would be penalized by the electoral system (Sinistra Arcobaleno, UDC) were deserted by voters. The relative success of the Lega Nord and Italia dei Valori results from strong performance in retaining their own voters and marginal transfers of votes from their coalition partners.

  • Lapo's Life and Work
    ch1.qxd 10/18/1999 2:02 PM Page 1 CHAPTER 1 Lapo’s Life and Work In the years that preceded the more or less permanent reentry of Pope Eugenius IV into Rome, the Renaissance humanist movement was in the middle of an interesting phase. At that time a large component of its members consisted of intellectuals who lacked ‹xed institutional places. Humanism—this new ars whose curricular focus was the studia humani- tatis—had still to ‹nd its place in society and was dependent largely on patrons. One practitioner of this new art was the Florentine Lapo da Cas- tiglionchio the Younger, who died in 1438 at the age of thirty-three. One of his most interesting cultural bequests to us is a treatise that he wrote in the year of his death, entitled De curiae commodis, or On the Bene‹ts of the Curia. In this dialogue, Lapo offers us a portrait of the papal curia that is written elegantly, learnedly, earnestly, and even angrily. It is a human document that is alive with information not only for intellectual historians but for social and cultural historians as well. The goal of this study is to discuss this dialogue in its intellectual and social contexts. A critical edition of the Latin text along with an annotated English transla- tion follows the discussion. This ‹rst chapter offers an examination of Lapo’s life and work, fol- lowed by a brief look at the historiography on the dialogue. Chapter 2 deals with the literary context of the dialogue and examines a compli- cated passage on the virtues, which I believe can serve as an interpretive key for the piece as a whole.
