Campionissimo, Monsieur Chrono, Kannibale & Co.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg erlebte der Profi-Straßenradsport eine Renaissance. Obgleich der organisierte Wettbewerb in den Kriegsjahren nicht gänzlich zum Erliegen kam, sehnten sich die „Giganten der Landstraße“ danach, endlich wieder in Friedenszeiten mit ihresgleichen wetteifern zu können. Schon zu Beginn der 40er Jahre auf hohem Level erfolgreiche Akteure wie Bartali, Coppi, Kübler und Schotte sowie neue Helden namens Van Steenbergen, Koblet, Bobet, Anquetil und Gaul setzten fortan die Glanzlichter im Profi-Peloton.

“Misfits” in Fin-de-Siècle France and Italy
As the 19th century drew to a close, France and Italy experienced an explosion of crime, vagrancy, insanity, neurosis and sexual deviance. “Misfits” in Fin-de-Siècle France and Italy examines how the raft of self-appointed experts that subsequently emerged tried to explain this aberrant behavior and the many consequences this had.

Art and Love in Renaissance Italy
"Many famous artworks of the Italian Renaissance were made to celebrate love, marriage, and family. They were the pinnacles of a tradition, dating from early in the era, of commemorating betrothals, marriages, and the birth of children by commissioning extraordinary objects - maiolica, glassware, jewels, textiles, paintings - that were often also exchanged as gifts. This volume is the first comprehensive survey of artworks arising from Renaissance rituals of love and marriage and makes a major contribution to our understanding of Renaissance art in its broader cultural context. The impressive range of works gathered in these pages extends from birth trays painted in the early fifteenth century to large canvases on mythological themes that Titian painted in the mid-1500s. Each work of art would have been recognized by contemporary viewers for its prescribed function within the private, domestic domain."--BOOK JACKET.
