And with concerns about issues such as climate change, energy supply and environmental health receiving increasing political attention, interest in the sustainable development of our future cities has grown dramatically. Yet despite a wealth of literature on green architecture, evidence-based design and sustainable planning, only a fraction of the current literature successfully integrates the necessary theory and practice from across the full range of relevant disciplines.

We are surrounded and embraced by her: powerless to separate ourselves from her, and powerless to penetrate beyond her. Without asking, or warning, she snatches us up into her circling dance, and whirls us on until we are tired, and drop from her arms. She is ever shaping new forms: what is, has never yet been; what has been, comes not again. Everything is new, and yet nought but the old … Goethe in the frst edition of Nature 1869 RESTORE was founded on inspiration from the philosophy of the Living Building Challenge and to further explore the established restorative/regenerative thinking of writers. RESTORE has certainly been an adventurous journey over four years, a journey of Rethinking Sustainability Towards a Regenerative Economy, from initial deliberations in Faro through to an imagined future city, RESTORD 2030, a truly regenerative city that applies all the outcomes from RESTORE. RESTORE has indeed taken inspirational regenerative thinking, explored further insights, research, practice and development and added to the body of regenerative knowledge through creating important publications, papers and dissemination that will move the built environment towards a regenerative culture and economy. The initial premise of RESTORE was to affect a paradigm shift in sustainability thinking, in practice, in academia & education and importantly in members of RESTORE. That paradigm shift is evident as discussions, debates and thinking have matured in understanding the differences between sustainability, restorative and regenerative. Working Group One in Faro established the framework for following working groups, through establishing several key defnitions relating to sustainability and regenerative economics Sustainability was defned as minimising and eliminating impact, the bridging point between not doing less bad and starting to do ‘more good’. It was Yvon Chouinard, founder at Patagonia, who said that we should not use the word sustainable until we give back as much as we take. Restorative Sustainability was defned as restoring ecological and social systems back to a healthy state, and then Regenerative Sustainability as creating the conditions that enable vital social and ecological systems to thrive. vii viii Foreword In essence embracing regenerative sustainability is embracing deep change, not only for the built environment processes and buildings, but for people and for the planet. It is vital that regenerative sustainability is seen as holistic, and should not be approached in the siloed fashion business as usual sustainability has been addressed, but to recognise the complexity of ecosystems, and the role and responsibility that we and our buildings have within our highly connected planetary ecosystems. Wrapped up within social and ecological systems are the concepts of being culturally rich and economically just. It is encouraging that as I write this, following our renewed understanding of nature from Covid-19 and on social and climate justice from Black Lives Matter movement, to note that XR USA within their 4th Demand (and a 'demand' much debated in XR across Europe) calls to establish legal rights for ecosystems to thrive and regenerate in perpetuity. Where we are today, this does not seem so radical or rebellious. The strap line from RESTORE, to move towards a Regenerative Economics, necessitated an economic defnition, as ‘a product of human and societal vitality, rooted in ecological health and the inclusive development of

    AVVERTENZA 11 lavoro, nato come inventario di un « fondo » dell Archivio di Stato geno­ vese a fini essenzialmente archivistici e non storici, risente di questa sua origine nella rigorosa limitazione dei regesti a quel fondo, pur ricostruito sulla base dell’ordine cronologico dei documenti, e nella sobrietà discreta dei singoli re­ gesti. Del pari la bibliografia non vuol essere un repertorio critico e non intende richiamare tutte le edizioni comunque eseguite dei diversi atti, ma limita i riferim enti alle edizioni principali, apparse nelle raccolte sistematiche più comu­ nem ente accessibili, ed a quanto fu pubblicalo del codice diplomatico dell Im­ periale. Si è ritenuta peraltro utile anche una serie di riferimenti agli Annali di Caffaro e Continuatori per i passi in cui si ricordano i fatti significati dai docum enti del fondo. Il lettore d’altra parte facilmente rileverà che tale appa­ rato si riferisce con larga prevalenza ai secoli del Medio Evo; il che rappresenta un fatto pieno di significato, anche se la serie dei richiami, come si è detto, e largamente incompleta. Gli indici, alla cui redazione ha direttamente collaborato, col dott. Liscian- drelli ed il dott. Costamagna, anche il Segretario prof. T.O. De Negri, che ha cu rato l’edizione, si riferiscono strettamente ai nomi riportati nei Regesti, ove spesso, per ovvie ragioni, i nominativi personali sono suppliti da richiami anoni­ mi o da titoli generici (re, pontefice1, imperatore...). Essi hanno quindi un valore indicativo di massima e non possono esaurire la serie dei riferimenti. Per m aggior chiarezza diamo di seguito, col richiamo alle sigle e nell or­ dine alfabetico delle sigle stesse, l’elenco delle pubblicazioni utilizzate.

Or, le concept d’Etat employé pour désigner un souverain distinct de la personne du Prince remonte au XIIIe siècle en relation avec la doctrine des corporations qui faisait de l’office une persona ficta. Le fait que dignitas non moritur permettait de garantir l’ordre de succession fondé sur un patrimoine commun transmissible dépassant le caractère mortel de la personne du roi2. Mais royaumes et empires n’aboutirent pas forcément à l’Etat. Inversement le roi put fort bien en invoquant sa « certaine science » se passer de tout conseil y compris parlementaire pour légiférer3. Il y a ainsi dans l’histoire de l’Europe occidentale méditerranéenne un développement précoce de l’Etat et à la fois une difficulté insondable à atteindre sa plénitude dans le lent processus qui résulte de la différenciation du politique vis- à-vis de l’économie, de la société et de la culture4.

  • Caterina Sforza: the Shifting Representation of a Woman Ruler in Early Modern Italy Di Joyce De Vries
    © LO SGUARDO - RIVISTA DI FILOSOFIA - ISSN: 2036-6558 N. 13, 2013 (III) - GLI STRUMENTI DEL POTERE. DAL PRINCIPE All’ARCHEOLOGO Articoli/7 Caterina Sforza: the shifting representation of a woman ruler in early Modern Italy di Joyce De Vries Articolo sottoposto a peer review. Ricevuto il 12/09/13. Accettato il 01/10/13 Caterina Sforza’s fame as ruler of the small territories of Imola and Forlì in the late fifteenth-century has persisted over the centuries. Yet her fame has shifted and changed with the Niccolò Machiavelli’s comments on her life greatly affected her reputation. Her powerful Medici descendants further tempered her legend without diminishing her fame. The various levels of archival traces for Sforza’s life and legend present a remarkable example of how accretions of information and interpretation become history. *** Caterina Sforza’s fame as ruler of the small territories of Imola and Forlì in the late fifteenth-century has persisted over the centuries, with good reason. Despite her gender, Sforza successfully ruled these small but vital territories in northern Italy for a dozen years, marking her as an unusual, if not exceptional character. The fascinating connections between her public and private life, which included several marriages to prominent Italian men, many children, and several assassinations and conspiracies, added to her fame among her contemporaries and those that followed. Most notoriously, Sforza’s reputation was bolstered by Niccolò Machiavelli, who reported that she bared her genitalia during a stand-off over the rule of Forlì. Yet Sforza’s fame has shifted and changed with the times.

  • Social Identity” (153). the Banquet Offered by Giuliano Della Rovere
    comptes rendus 165 social identity” (153). The banquet offered by Giuliano della Rovere and Pietro Riario (nephews of Pope Sixtus IV) in Rome, 1473, to honour Eleonora of Aragon, future bride of Ercole I Este, is to be viewed under this light; and so also the banquet in Ariosto’s Innamorato offered by Charlemagne to all knights, Saracens included, to celebrate the feast of Pentecost. In both, woman becomes the desired food, the one to possess/eat. The connections among these literary works of the Italian canon, viewed through the lens of food, are extremely interesting. Food becomes a tool that allows the reader to catch subtle nuances, references, citations, and interpre- tations that touch on social, religious, and cultural realities of the time. Pina Palma’s book is an intriguing read that goes well beyond appearances and brings to light an intricate network of connections that a modern reader would definitely miss without the help of her accurate and well-balanced transversal reading. elena brizio The Medici Archive Project, Florence Pattenden, Miles.

This study investigates several important approaches to the field of papal his- tory. First, it ably reconstructs the events surrounding a series of trials that took place in 1560–61 through which Pope Pius IV prosecuted the nephews of Pope Paul IV. The notoriety of the Carafa family’s crimes makes this a good case study for a revisionist perspective built upon manuscript evidence.

  • 10. Chapter 3 Transformation from Naples to Ferrara 139–186
    Chapter 3 Transformation: From Naples to Ferrara On 24 May 1473, Eleonora d’Aragona, accompanied by a vast entourage of Neapolitan and Ferrarese nobles, left Naples to begin the long overland journey to Ferrara. Travelling across half of the Italian peninsula, via the Papal States, Siena, Florence and Faenza, they would reach Ferrara on 3 July 1473 having been on the road for six weeks. The journey took on the character of a state visit as Eleonora stopped along the way at towns where she and her inner circle were met by local dignitaries and accommodated at the expense of the town’s leading citizens. The most significant of these visits was to Rome where Eleonora’s comitiva remained for five days, entertained at vast expense by the young cardinal, Pietro Riario, on behalf of his uncle, Pope Sixtus IV. The political significance of Eleonora’s nuptial journey, particularly her visit to Rome, has been greatly illuminated by the discovery of two documents in the Archivio di Stato in Modena. These documents are edited and translated for the first time in the Appendix as Documents 3 and 4. Both are sets of instructions, composed for Eleonora’s guidance along the way, one by Ferrante, while the other can be safely attributed to Diomede Carafa. While the primary concern of both men was to ensure that Eleonora appeared in the best possible light in her meetings with civic and religious leaders along the way, particularly in her audience with Sixtus IV, the tone of their instructions reflects their differing priorities: Ferrante’s were power and influence, Carafa’s were style and protocol.

THOMAS HAILES LACY, 89, STRAND, (Opposite Southampton Street, Covent Garden Market), LONDON. PREFACE. THIS Drama is in no sense a translation, and ought not, I think, in fairness to be called even an adaptation of Victor Hugo's fine play ' Le Roi s'Amuse.' It originated in a request made to me by one of our most popular actors, to turn the libretto of Rigoletto into a play,as he wished to act the part of the jester. On looking at Victor Hugo's drama, with this object, I found so much in it that seemed to me inadmissible on our stage—so much, besides, that was wanting in dramatic motive and cohesion, and,—Isay it in all humility—so much that was defective in that central secret of stage effect, climax, that I determined to take the situation of the jester and his daughter, and to recast in my own way the incidents in which their story was invested.
