Venice Reconsidered
Venice Reconsidered offers a dynamic portrait of Venice from the establishment of the Republic at the end of the thirteenth century to its fall to Napoleon in 1797. In contrast to earlier efforts to categorize Venice's politics as strictly republican and its society as rigidly tripartite and hierarchical, the scholars in this volume present a more fluid and complex interpretation of Venetian culture. Drawing on a variety of disciplines—history, art history, and musicology—these essays present innovative variants of the myth of Venice—that nearly inexhaustible repertoire of stories Venetians told about themselves.
Convents and the Body Politic in Late Renaissance Venice
In late sixteenth-century Venice, nearly 60 percent of all patrician women joined convents, and only a minority of these women did so voluntarily. In trying to explain why unprecedented numbers of patrician women did not marry, historians have claimed that dowries became too expensive. However, Jutta Gisela Sperling debunks this myth and argues that the rise of forced vocations happened within the context of aristocratic culture and society. Sperling explains how women were not allowed to marry beneath their social status while men could, especially if their brides were wealthy. Faced with a shortage of suitable partners, patrician women were forced to offer themselves as "a gift not only to God, but to their fatherland," as Patriarch Giovanni Tiepolo told the Senate of Venice in 1619. Noting the declining birth rate among patrician women, Sperling explores the paradox of a marriage system that preserved the nobility at the price of its physical extinction. And on a more individual level, she tells the fascinating stories of these women. Some became scholars or advocates of women's rights, some took lovers, and others escaped only to survive as servants, prostitutes, or thieves.
A Venezia lucean le stelle
Nel diciannovesimo secolo la Repubblica non c’è piú ma Venezia c’è ancora e continua a splendere. Questa volta però a illuminarla non è piú lo splendore della sua eccezionale civiltà: la luce proviene da fuori, direttamente dai grandi astri internazionali dell’Ottocento che fanno di Venezia la loro seconda patria ma anche dai grandi veneziani, uomini e donne che lottano per la sopravvivenza della città e, di fatto, la mantengono in vita nonostante il giogo delle potenze straniere che ora la possiedono. Venezia riflette tutte queste luci stellari e le moltiplica: Zorzi la racconta in una serie di storie affascinanti. Giustina Renier Michiel ama cosí tanto la sua patria caduta d...
War, Culture and Society in Renaissance Venice
While the majority of these essays are about wars fought against Venice's enemies or on the building and defence of Venetian and other fortifications, there are also essays on other aspects of Venetian life and art: on Giorgione's earliest work; on the career of a Venetian pope; on the building of the Ca' d'Oro; and on the Diarii of Marino Sanuto.
Music and the Making of Medieval Venice
Introducing a new geographical paradigm for the study of medieval music, this path-breaking book uncovers the role of music, liturgy, and ritual in building Venice's empire in the eastern Mediterranean, activating the city's material culture, and shaping its state-craft of the imagination.
