Itinerari italiani
L'attuale condizione globale sollecita una riflessione rinnovata sull'identità locale e specifica del nostro Paese. Questo libro raccoglie un'ampia selezione di progetti di residenze collettive realizzate in Italia negli ultimi trent'anni, con lo scopo di rileggere questa esperienza italiana alla luce dei profondi cambiamenti che la nostra epoca ha attraversato e sta ancora attraversando. L'insieme strutturato come un ideale viaggio in Italia propone quattro itinerari definiti dalle questioni che i progetti riuniti in altrettanti raggruppamenti hanno in comune tra loro. Questioni anch'esse specifiche e fortemente legate ai caratteri identitari della cultura architettonica italiana la quale, pur risentendo inevitabilmente delle sollecitazioni internazionali, si propone ancora nel suo insieme di grande interesse per gli studi e le ricerche sull'architettura.

The World of Girolamo Donzellini
Girolamo Donzellini was born in 1513. He was a religious dissenter, a physician, and a bibliophile involved in the Medical Republic of Letters. He was put to death by the Venetian Inquisition in 1587, after being tried five times in his lifetime. Extending beyond an individual case study to a granular and probing account of the many connections between Venetian physicians and heterodox religious movements in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, this innovative monograph reveals the heretical networks of physicians in sixteenth-century Venice. In addition to Donzellini himself, the web of actors includes printers, scholars, women, and alchemists who were all committed to fighting against religious dogma and violence in a time and place when both were the order of the day. This book will appeal to researchers and students alike interested in the History of Medicine, the History of religious heterodoxy and tolerance, as well as the History of the Catholic Inquisition in Venice.
The Italian Encounter with Tudor England
The small but influential community of Italians that took shape in England in the fifteenth century initially consisted of ecclesiastics, humanists, merchants, bankers and artists. However, in the wake of the English Reformation, Italian Protestants joined other continental religious refugees in finding Tudor England to be a hospitable and productive haven, and they brought with them a cultural perspective informed by the ascendency among European elites of their vernacular language. This study maintains that questions of language are at the centre of the circulation of ideas in the early modern period. Wyatt first examines the agency of this shifting community of immigrant Italians in the transmission of Italy's cultural patrimony and its impact on the nascent English nation; Part Two turns to the exemplary career of John Florio, the Italo-Englishman who worked as a language teacher, lexicographer and translator in Elizabethan and Jacobean England.
The European Left and the Jewish Question, 1848-1992
This book examines how left-wing political and cultural movements in Western Europe have considered Jews in the last two hundred years. The chapters seek to answer the following question: has there been a specific way in which the Left has considered Jewish minorities? The subject has taken various shapes in the different geographical contexts, influenced by national specificities. In tandem, this volume demonstrates the extent to which left-wing movements share common trends drawn from a collective repertoire of representations and meanings. Highlighting the different aspects of the subject matter, the chapters in this book are divided in three parts, each dedicated to a major theme: the contribution of the theorists of Socialism to the Jewish Question; Antisemitism and its representations in left-wing culture; and the perception of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Taken together, these three themes allow for a multidisciplinary analysis of the relationship between the Left and Jews from the second half of the nineteenth century to recent times.
