Acquedotti realtà e futuro
In Italia la vicenda "acquedotti", iniziata nell'antichità con opere che destano tutt'ora l'ammirazione del mondo intero, è giunta ad un punto paradossale in quanto, a fronte delle grandi possibilità offerte dalla moderna tecnica acquedottistica, presenta in realtà delle carenze gravi. Si riscontrano perdite d'acqua assolutamente inammissibili e notevoli difetti di costituzione e di esercizio degli impianti in parte dovuti ad errate concezioni di base considerate intoccabili e ad erronee indicazioni della letteratura tecnica e degli insegnamenti impartiti dall'università ai nuovi ingegneri. E' evidente la necessità della profonda revisione dell'intero sistema di distribuzione idropotab...
Il guardiacaccia
Il romanzo di Marcello Meneghin è un intreccio di storie vere e di invenzione o meglio di supposizioni. È la ricerca del nome di un assassino. Lo scenario delle montagne trentine che l’autore conosce bene per averci lavorato nel passato, fa da sfondo a un vero e proprio giallo. Ma il romanzo è anche un pretesto per fare conoscere a chi non c’era o non sapeva, cosa voleva dire portare energia elettrica a un’Italia stremata dalla seconda guerra mondiale. Alle figure dei personaggi si alternano figure e nomi di cose, di macchine, di metodi di rilievo topografico e di tecniche di scavo. Un intreccio di immaginario, che si sposa bene alla magia delle montagne, e di pragmatico, concreto. ...
Degli intricati misfatti per Artemisio
Dopo Il guardiacaccia, un giallo ambientato in montagna, Marcello Meneghin dà alle stampe un libro di undici racconti, tutti incentrati sulla figura di Artemisio l'investigatore. Sono tante storie, tanti spaccati di vita quotidiana dove i furbi tentano di imbrogliare chi è sprovveduto, o semplicemente chi non è abituato a guardarsi dai malfattori. Un'agenzia immobiliare impegnata in pratiche oscure; uno strano incidente automobilistico; un intelligente sensale di animali da pascolo alle prese con un concorrente sleale; una grossa rapina in piazza San Marco, che vede attori protagonisti dei furbi criminali; una villa venduta due volte a due ignari compratori; questi e altri episodi tengono...
Domestic Devotions in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
Domestic devotion has become an increasingly important area of research in recent years, with the publication of a number of significant studies on the early modern period in particular. This Special Issue aims to build on these works and to expand their range, both geographically and chronologically. This collection focuses on lived religion and the devotional practices found in the domestic settings of late medieval and early modern Europe. More particularly, it investigates the degree to which the experience of personal or familial religious practice in the domestic realm intersected with the more public expression of faith in liturgical or communal settings. Its broad geographical range (spanning northern, southern, central and eastern Europe) includes practices related to Christianity, Judaism and Islam. This Special Issue will be of interest to historians, art historians, medievalists, early modernists, historians of religion, anthropologists and theologians, as well as those interested in the history of material religious culture. It also offers important insights into research areas such as gender studies, histories of the emotions and histories of the senses.

Domestic Devotions in the Early Modern World
This volume sets out to explore the world of domestic devotions and is premised on the assumption that the home was a central space of religious practice and experience throughout the early modern world. The contributions to this book, which deal with themes dating from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century, tell of the intimate relationship between humans and the sacred within the walls of the home. The volume demonstrates that the home cannot be studied in isolation: the sixteen essays, that encompass religious history, the histories of art and architecture, material culture, literary history, and social and cultural history, instead point individually and collectively to the porosity of the home and its connectedness with other institutions and broader communities. Contributors: Dotan Arad, Kathleen Ashley, Martin Christ, Hildegard Diemberger, Marco Faini, Suzanna Ivanič, Debra Kaplan, Marion H. Katz, Soyeon Kim, Hester Lees-Jeffries, Borja Franco Llopis, Alessia Meneghin, Francisco J. Moreno Díaz del Campo, Cristina Osswald, Kathleen M. Ryor, Igor Sosa Mayor, Hanneke van Asperen, Torsten Wollina, and Jungyoon Yang.

Building Renaissance Venice
This book brings to life the story of the construction of some of the most outstanding early Renaissance buildings in Venice. Through a series of individual case studies, Richard J. Goy explores how and why great buildings came to be built. He addresses the practical issues of constructing such buildings as the Torre dell’Orologio in Piazza San Marco, the Arsenale Gate, and the churches of Santa Maria della Carita and San Zaccaria, focusing particular attention on the process of patronage. The book is the first to trace the complete process of creating important buildings, from the earliest conception in the minds of the patrons--the Venetian state or other institutional patrons--through the choice of architect, the employment of craftsmen, and the selection of materials. In an interesting analysis of the participants’ roles, Goy highlights the emerging importance of the superintending master, the protomaestro.
