Chi era responsabile di un figlio illegittimo tra tardo medioevo ed età moderna? In molti paesi europei, fino a tutto il Settecento, non la madre ma il padre presunto. Era stato il diritto canonico a imporre l’obbligo degli alimenti, anche per i figli abbandonati nei brefotrofi, ai padri. Ma come identificarli? E come si comportavano le donne nubili di ceto popolare, le famiglie, la comunità di fronte a una gravidanza imprevista e a un partner in fuga? Il libro ricompone in un ampio quadro la ricerca della paternità; le dichiarazioni di gravidanza imposte alle nubili incinte, e usate, al pari delle querele per seduzione, per individuare i padri; la diffusa tolleranza verso la sessualità prima delle nozze; la solidarietà di parenti, vicini, estranei nel viaggio del neonato verso il brefotrofio. Finché, nell’Ottocento, il divieto della ricerca della paternità e la colpevolizzazione delle donne – seduttrici, non più sedotte – attribuirono alle madri la responsabilità dei “figli del peccato”.
This two-volume book, published open access, brings together leading scholars of constitutional law from twenty-nine European countries to revisit the role of national constitutions at a time when decision-making has increasingly shifted to the European and transnational level. It offers important insights into three areas. First, it explores how constitutions reflect the transfer of powers from domestic to European and global institutions. Secondly, it revisits substantive constitutional values, such as the protection of constitutional rights, the rule of law, democratic participation and constitutional review, along with constitutional court judgments that tackle the protection of these ri...
A metà degli anni Cinquanta, nel salotto o nel tinello di casa, milioni di famiglie italiane si riuniscono la sera attorno al ‘canoro focolare del ventesimo secolo’, la radio, a sentire musica, programmi vari e tanti radiodrammi. Sono gli ultimi e più eclatanti trionfi, in termini produttivi e di pubblico, prima della lenta, ma inesorabile affermazione del nuovo ‘focolare elettrico’, la televisione. Rodolfo Sacchettini ricostruisce nel dettaglio una miriade di storie, temi e forme dei radiodrammi trasmessi in Italia dal 1955 al 1960, anni di profondi e decisivi cambiamenti per il paese, avvalendosi per la prima volta dei copioni e delle registrazioni conservate negli archivi della ...
Padua, Italy. An unremarkable man, a husband and father, disappears without a trace. After a few months of searching, the police send his file to the cold cases department to be thrown in with the files of other missing persons. One woman knows the truth about his disappearance, but, being the daughter of a prominent and wealthy Swiss industrialist she fears coming forward with what she knows: that she was his lover and that there is more to his disappearance than another bored suburban husband running out on his. Stricken by guilt, she finally confides in a lawyer who advises her to turn to Marco Buratti, aka The Alligator, for help. Buratti agrees to assist the woman. Initially, the case o...
