Do They Make a Difference?
Over the last three decades, numerous radical right populist parties (RRPP) have emerged, developed, and strengthened their electoral weight in Western Europe. Yet, while several RRPP have managed to formally participate in government coalitions (such as in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland) or to informally support minority governments (such as in Denmark, and in The Netherlands) and while other RRPP have become highly visible opposition forces (such as in France, and Germany), the influence exercised by RRPP remain underexplored. It is essential to focus on their policy influence because of their electoral strength but also because they are often perceived by journalists, citizens, policy-ma...
The Wealth of Communities
The early decades of the sixteenth century were a turbulent time for the Italian peninsula as competing centres of power struggled for political control. Nowhere was this more true than the area contested by Milan and Venice, that was constantly crossed and occupied by rival armies. Investigating the impact of successive crises upon the inhabitants of the Po Valley, this book challenges many fundamental assumptions about the relationship between war and economic development and draws conclusion that have implications for early modern Europe as a whole. In traditional historiography, periods of war and general crisis have often been regarded as promoting a shift in resources from the communal...

Apostolic Iconography and Florentine Confraternities in the Age of Reform
Focusing on artists and architectural complexes which until now have eluded scholarly attention in English-language publications, Apostolic Iconography and Florentine Confraternities in the Age of Reform examines through their art programs three different confraternal organizations in Florence at a crucial moment in their histories. Each of the organizations that forms the basis for this study oversaw renovations that included decorative programs centered on the apostles. At the complex of Ges? Pellegrino a fresco cycle represents the apostles in their roles as Christ?s disciples and proselytizers. At the oratory of the company of Santissima Annunziata a series of frescoes shows their martyr...
Living Like Nomads
Despite the vast amount of research on Italian anarchism conducted over the last forty years, little is known about the history of Milanese anarchists. Living Like Nomads: The Milanese Anarchist Movement Before Fascism illuminates anarchist ideas, practices and militants in Milan during the two decades before the rise of fascism. It tells the fascinating stories of some Italian anarchists at the beginning of the twentieth century, and sheds light on their lifestyle, political campaigns and ideological debates. Living Like Nomads examines anarchist thought, particularly the relationship between theories of individualism and communist anarchism. It engages with masters of this school of philos...
101 viaggi straordinari da fare almeno una volta nella vita

Gramsci 2017
Ripercorrendo le tappe della storia politica italiana del primo Novecento, Roberto Guerra riflette sull’attuale crisi culturale e sulla possibile rinascita, nel nostro Paese, nell’era di Internet, di una sinistra realmente democratica associata al Futurismo. Chiudono il libro, caratterizzato da uno stile inconsueto e personale, una serie di interviste e una raccolta di poesie che l’autore ha voluto dedicare al terremoto emiliano del 2012.
Primarie per il sindaco
Le elezioni primarie sono una delle pi significative e interessanti innovazioni introdotte nella politica italiana nel corso degli ultimi dieci anni. Spesso accompagnato da una dose eccessiva di manipolazione e improvvisazione, questo particolare metodo di selezione delle candidature, sebbene diffuso anche in altri paesi, ha assunto caratteristiche e dimensioni tali da renderlo un caso eccezionale degno di rigoroso approfondimento. Il libro affronta, in un'ottica critica e scientifica, il tema delle primarie per la selezione delle candidature alla carica di sindaco. Oltre a offrire una interpretazione generale della repentina diffusione delle primarie comunali in Italia, i capitoli affrontano il fenomeno sotto differenti punti di vista: l'importanza delle regole e dei regolamenti, il peso dell'apparato partitico, la comunicazione dei candidati, la partecipazione dei cittadini e, infine, le strategie elettorali adottate dagli elettori prima, durante e dopo le primarie.
