Gli ultimi dieci mesi della mia carcere
Non semplice diario di detenzione, ma racconto di formazione alla moderazione dei costumi e alla conquista della serenità interiore secondo un ideale di compostezza classica che è modello insieme di vita e di scrittura. Il regime carcerario è paragonato a quello monastico: educa alla sobrietà, al controllo degli impulsi, al lavoro costante come antidoto alla noia e all’abbrutimento. Molto lo accomuna al romanzo Le mie prigioni di Silvio Pellico. Il fatto che innocui letterati abbiano dovuto languire per anni in carceri malsane è un potente atto di accusa contro la pretesa giustizia sovrana; non c’è giustizia dove c’è violazione dei diritti e della dignità di altri uomini. Questa la lezione, purtroppo ancora attuale, che Gazzadi impartisce ai suoi lettori.
The Italian Garden
Italian gardens vary widely according to their historical date and geographic location. This collection approaches Italian gardens of all periods, from the middle ages to modern times, and it ranges widely throughout the peninsula, from Genoa to Sicily, the Veneto to Liguria, and Ferrara to Florence. The authors are a distinguished group of Italian, American, English and German scholars, with different backgrounds in art history, literature, architecture, planning, and cultural history. The explorations of the subject from these different perspectives illuminate not only their own disciplines, but are concerned to make many fresh connections between garden art and the politics of nationalism, between the art of gardens and urban infrastructure, between cultural movements like freemasonry and site planning, between design and planting materials. The book offers therefore a narrative of the garden by selecting ten high points of its history, which are introduced with a consideration by the volume editor of the fresh challenges to contemporary Italian garden history.

Lucia Tongiorgi Tomasi groups the works into chapters on such topics as florilegia, women artists, tulipomania, Dutch and Flemish painting, and exotic flowers from distant lands, providing an introduction to each chapter...
