Archaeology and Architecture of the Military Orders
As elite communities in medieval societies the Military Orders were driven by the ambition to develop built environments that fulfilled monastic needs as well as military requirements and, in addition, residential and representational purposes. Growing affluence and an international orientation provided a wide range of development potential. That this potential was in fact exploited may be exemplified by the advanced fortifications erected by Templars and Hospitallers in the Levant. Although the history of the Military Orders has been the subject of research for a long time, their material legacy has attracted less attention. In recent years, however, a vast range of topics concerning the Or...
La Costa dei Trabocchi
«Lo sguardo del viaggiatore è continuamente attratto da queste singolari strutture realizzate dall’uomo, tra terra e mare. Sono mirabili macchine da pesca che sfidano la forza dell’Adriatico con arguzia e rispetto per la natura. Strutture che affascinano l’osservatore, perché evocano forza e fragilità, ingegno e semplicità nei materiali utilizzati. I trabocchi si susseguono ad una distanza controllabile a vista, a meno di qualche promontorio che ne impedisce la visione e punteggiano la linea di demarcazione tra mare e terra, separando lo specchio d’acqua dalla collina incombente, ricoperta di vegetazione mediterranea, che diventa a strapiombo sul mare quando assume la forma di f...
Lettere, 1936-1963
Author of Architettura del medioevo in Sardegna which won him the Premio Nazionale Olivetti in 1956, Raffaello Delogu was an art historian and Commissioner for Antiquities and Monuments in Sardinia, Abruzzo and Sicily. His correspondence with one of the most eminent Italian writers of the second half of the twentieth century, as transcribed and lavishly annotated here by Monica Graceffa, reveals him not only as a committed intellectual devoted to the study of ancient and modern art, but also as a caustic and playful friend. His dialogue with Giuseppe Dessí commenced in their youth, when Dessí was an amateur painter on the way to maturity, who instead rapidly developed into a mature writer and attentive connoisseur of all forms of art. In addition to their studies and mutual friends (including Claudio Varese and Maria Lai), they also shared an interest in painting and in what Dessí was experiencing (his moves, his political passion) and what he was writing (fiction, drama, essays); important in this regard are the letters touching on the collaboration of both on the Sardinian issue of Pietro Calamandrei's «Il Ponte»
L’évêque, l’image et la mort
La figure de l’évêque occupe une position centrale dans l’organisation ecclésiastique du Moyen Âge et exerce une action déterminante sur tout aspect de la vie politique, spirituelle, culturelle et sociale de cette époque. Apprécier son rôle et connaître les personnes qui occupèrent ce rang constitue une clef essentielle pour une compréhension approfondie de l’époque. Malgré son importance reconnue, la figure de l’évêque n’a cependant pas encore reçu l’attention qu’elle mérite, surtout en ce qui concerne son importance pour l’imaginaire de la chrétienté médiévale. En se focalisant sur l’évêque défunt, cet ouvrage s’attache à un des aspects centraux...
