My Vineyards: Home To the Cabreo Legacy
The narrative of Ambrogio Folonari goes beyond that of a passionate individual or a dynamic entrepreneur in the wine industry. It is, in essence, a first-person account intricately linked with the historical, social, and economic events of an entire nation, mirroring the destiny of wine in Italy. In the past century, in fact, wine production and consumption have not simply been a consequence of major cultural and socio-economic changes but, in some cases, have determined the fate of larger contexts.

Who Runs the Artworld
Who Runs the Artworld: Money, Power and Ethics examines the economics and mythologies of today s global artworld. It unmasks the complex web of relationships that now exist among high-profile curators, collectors, museum trustees and corporate sponsors, and the historic and ongoing complicity between the art and money markets. The book examines alternative models being deployed by curators and artists influenced by the 2008 global financial crisis and the international socio-political Occupy movement, with a particular focus on a renewed activism by artists. This activism is coupled with an institutional and social critique led by groups such as Liberate Tate, the Precarious Workers Brigade and Strike Debt. Who Runs the Artworld: Money, Power and Ethics brings together a diverse range of thinkers who draw on the disciplines of art theory, social sciences and cultural economics, and curatorship and the lived experience of artists. The contributors to this book are, in their respective contexts, working at the forefront of these compelling issues.

A Female Activist Elite in Italy (1890–1920)
This book explores and traces the progressive activism and radical ideas of several elite women in Italy beginning in the early 20th century. It discusses the shared political culture that shaped the thinking and the activity of these women, mainly oriented towards political philanthropy and work, seen as the cornerstone of a comprehensive redefinition of gender relations. It also discusses the connections linking them to an international network of women involved in similar political actions and economic initiatives addressing women’s' interests, as well as their legacy for the next generations. With essays from a range of scholars, this book provides an interdisciplinary framework for understanding these activists and deals with methodological and historiographical issues in reconstructing women’s contribution to history.
