Emotions and Architecture
Emotions and Architecture: Forging Mediterranean Cities Between the Middle Ages and Early Modern Time explores architecture as a medium to arouse or conceal emotions, to build consensus through shared values, or to reconnect the urban community to its alleged ancestry. The chapters in this edited collection outline how architectonic symbols, images, and structures were codified – and sometimes recast – to match or to arouse emotions awakened by wars, political dominance, pandemic challenges, and religion. As signs of spiritual and political power, these elements were embraced and modulated locally, providing an endorsement to authorities and rituals for the community. This volume provide...
Apprenticeship, Work, Society in Early Modern Venice
Apprenticeship in early modern Europe has been the subject of important research in the last decades, mostly by economic historians; but the majority of the research has dealt with cities or countries in Northern Europe. The organization, evolution and purpose of apprenticeship in Southern Europe are much less studied, especially for the early modern period. The research in this volume is based on a unique documentary source: more than 54,000 apprenticeship contracts registered from 1575 to 1772 by the "Old Justice", a civil court of the Republic of Venice in charge of guilds and labour disputes. An archival source of such scale provides a unique opportunity to historians, and this is the fi...
Free Trade and Free Ports in the Mediterranean
How did free trade emerge in early-modern times? How did the Mediterranean as a specific region – with its own historical characteristics – produce a culture in which the free port appeared? What was the relation between the type of free trade created in early-modern Italy and the development of global trade and commercial competition between states for hegemony in the eighteenth century? And how did the position of the free port, originally a Mediterranean ‘invention’, develop over the course of time? The contributions to this volume address these questions and explain the institutional genealogy of the free port. Free Trade and Free Ports in the Mediterranean analyses the atypical ...
Digital Restoration and Virtual Reconstructions
This book provides the opportunity to explore the variety of meanings, undertones and contextual connotations that currently pertain to the expressions of "virtual (or digital) restoration" and "reconstruction". The book focuses on the latest applications of virtual restoration and reconstruction in different areas of Cultural Heritage through the presentation and discussion of several case studies. The goal is to provide a broad perspective on the subject. The sample presented in this book has been indeed selected and evaluated referring to different disciplinary fields such as archaeology, architecture, and conservation while encompassing a variety of cultural and chronological contexts.
Epistolario político de don Luis de Haro (Aragón, Cataluña y Andalucía, 1644-1647 - Extremadura y Portugal, 1658-1659)
Los estudios sobre el valimiento han señalado la proximidad entre el monarca y su valido como piedra angular de esta práctica de gobierno. Sin embargo, el valimiento también se construyó sobre la distancia entre ambas figuras, un fenómeno menos conocido fruto de circunstancias excepcionales. El ciclo clásico del valimiento español, iniciado por el duque de Lerma y continuado por el conde-duque de Olivares, respondió al primer modelo. Pero a partir de 1643, con don Luis de Haro, se produjo una mutación abrupta en la relación entre rey y valido. En dos ocasiones Felipe IV ordenó a Haro salir de Madrid: la primera a Andalucía (1645-1646) y la segunda a Extremadura y Portugal (1658- ...
La manifattura cotoniera a Barcellona tra innovazione e persistenza
La lavorazione del cotone divenne, tra il XVII e il XVIII secolo, l'elemento di modernizzazione dei sistemi manifatturieri nazionali, e rappresentò il passaggio dalla fase protoindustriale a quella basata sul modello di fabbrica. Il processo di stampa e colorazione delineò una nuova geografia industriale in Europa seguendo uno schema che in larga parte si sovrapponeva a quello creato dalle manifatture tessili tradizionali (in special modo lana e seta), discostandosi da un reale percorso di path dependence. Nei fatti, sebbene la produzione del cotone stampato avesse beneficiato di un vantaggio localizzativo costituito dalla presenza di know-how tecnico e di una specifica politica commercial...
AgriCulture. Tutela e valorizzazione del patrimonio rurale nel Lazio
Questo volume contiene alcuni progetti e ricerche che fanno parte di un processo culturale contemporaneo che vede la trasformazione del concetto di tutela del paesaggio, intesa non più come un travasamento di vincoli sul territorio, quanto piuttosto una tutela finalizzata all’individuazione di nuove modalità di gestione, valorizzazione, promozione delle forme e delle attività identitarie che regolano i paesaggi. In questo senso i paesaggi rurali rappresentano una categoria interessante di paesaggio culturale, la cui sopravvivenza è legata a doppio filo con il mantenimento delle pratiche agricole tradizionali e degli usi delle comunità locali. I contributi afferiscono a diverse discipline ed evidenziano la necessità di una multidisciplinarietà nell’approccio ai temi del paesaggio.
