An incredible season for algebraic geometry flourished in Italy between 1860, when Luigi Cremona was assigned the chair of Geometria Superiore in Bologna, and 1959, when Francesco Severi published the last volume of the treatise on algebraic systems over a surface and an algebraic variety. This century-long season has had a prominent influence on the evolution of complex algebraic geometry - both at the national and international levels - and still inspires modern research in the area. "Algebraic geometry in Italy between tradition and future" is a collection of contributions aiming at presenting some of these powerful ideas and their connection to contemporary and, if possible, future developments, such as Cremonian transformations, birational classification of high-dimensional varieties starting from Gino Fano, the life and works of Guido Castelnuovo, Francesco Severi's mathematical library, etc. The presentation is enriched by the viewpoint of various researchers of the history of mathematics, who describe the cultural milieu and tell about the bios of some of the most famous mathematicians of those times.
Even more important is the question of the pre-Seljuq work in the Masjid-i-Jami’ of Isfahan. It is the most interesting, and, in the loveliness of some parts, the most beautiful of Persian buildings. No one can stand in its great dilapidated court, or under the Seljuq domes, where the loud flight of agitated pigeons leaves a profound silence that seems to roar in the ears, without a sense of awe. It is the work of many periods. But in the succession of these it contains hardly anything that is not of the best…” (Eric Schroeder, Standing Monuments of the First Period, 1967). The text publishes a thorough research of one element of the pre-Seljuq work of this monument, its wall painting....
Super-intelligent hairy beach balls suddenly appear from another universe. Billy Morton's family come quickly to love the playful alien 'Louie'. But when Louie starts using their computer to hack into government and corporate accounts, learn all that NSA knows, and steal millions from banks, the Government decides that all these aliens, even though most of them seem interested in only harmless play, are terrorists.
Facendo tesoro delle indicazioni di Giovanni Urbani (direttore dell’ICR dal 1973 al 1983) gli autori hanno cercato di proporre azioni coerenti che consentano di attivare le condizioni della duratura conservazione dell’arte, anche per ridurne sempre più i bisogni di sempre più frequenti nuovi restauri: “ri-restauri”, appunto. L’ebook è stato redatto dall’Istituto Mnemosyne di Brescia. indice • PRESENTAZIONE: Manutenzione e prevenzione per la conservazione dell’arte • PREMESSA: Un “Istituto” per la durabilità dei materi ali di storia e d’arte • APERTURA: “Solo è senza virtù chi non la vuole” • INTRODUZIONE: Per noi, nuovi vandali, “sono soltanto pietre...
Occasionali riflesssioni-preghiera cresciute meditando le Voci del Rosario in rapporto con le proposte disperse di Giovanni Urbani e con l’enciclica Laudato sii di Papa Francesco. Un’inedita costruttiva presentazione delle problematiche connesse alla cura del bene culturale e del territorio. Dalla Presentazione di Mons. Achille Bonazzi: … una felice sintesi culturale ai fini di una piena conoscenza di un’opera d’arte tra contemplazione, saggezza e azione finalizzata alla conservazione preventiva, senza la quale non possono esserci processi di effettiva valorizzazione delle risorse d’arte dei territori storici. Inizio proprio dalla contemplazione, quale forma più alta di conoscen...
