Women and Religion in Medieval and Renaissance Italy
Between the twelfth and the sixteenth centuries, women assumed public roles of unprecedented prominence in Italian religious culture. Legally subordinated, politically excluded, socially limited, and ideologically disdained, women's active participation in religious life offered them access to power in all its forms. These essays explore the involvement of women in religious life throughout northern and central Italy and trace the evolution of communities of pious women as they tried to achieve their devotional goals despite the strictures of the ecclesiastical hierarchy. The contributors examine relations between holy women, their devout followers, and society at large. Including contributions from leading figures in a new generation of Italian historians of religion, this book shows how women were able to carve out broad areas of influence by carefully exploiting the institutional church and by astutely manipulating religious percepts.

I protagonisti della politica. Notabili, elezioni e sistema politico in Campania (1861-1919)
In che modo la classe dirigente dello Stato italiano si pose in rapporto al problema dello State-building e, più in particolare, al rapporto centro-periferia? Qual era la composizione sociale e professionale di questa classe dirigente? Attraverso quali strumenti si stabilirono le reti di relazione che intersecarono l’attività svolta dal parlamentare in funzione delle richieste giunte dalla società civile che lo aveva eletto? Qual era il ruolo, in questo contesto, del notabile? Come veniva organizzata la lotta politica in età liberale? Sono queste le domande alla base della presente ricerca che si pone di analizzarle in uno spazio geografico ben preciso, quello della Campania. Emerge dalle seguenti pagine una biografia collettiva di una classe dirigente composta per lo più di notabili decisi a rivendicare, in virtù della propria funzione mediatrice fra lo Stato e la società civile, un ruolo politico in ambito locale o un riconoscimento di prestigio come sigillo ultimo di una intera carriera politica.
