The divisions of the army of the R.S.I. 1943-1945 – Vol. 2
The goal that we have set ourselves with this series of two volumes, written by four hands, is to give an overall picture of the Divisions formed by the Army of the R.S.I. on the departments employed in the fight against the partisans by the Republican National Army, starting from the last months of 1943, offering a purely military point of view, free from judgments of any kind. The intention to “continue the war” had always been present since the beginning of autumn 1943 in the military authorities of the Social Republic. In the course of talks, three Mussolini and Hitler agreed to form a new fascist army, which, in the intentions of the Fuhrer, was to be composed of an army of 10/15 Divisions. In reality only 4 were planned and formed by the Republican National Army: 1st Bersaglieri Division “Italia”, 2nd Grenadiers Division “Littorio”, 3rd Marine Infantry Division “San Marco”, 4th Alpine Division “Monterosa”. This second volume is dedicated to the “San Marco” Division, which operated in Liguria and Garfagnana, against the Allies, until the end of the conflict, and to the “Monterosa” Alpine Division.
Implementing Entrepreneurial Processes for Good
We all know that sustainable goals are a challenge and, specifically, firms play a key role in achieving them since they define and manage activities that impact our lives. For established firms, sustainable approaches are difficult to implement. For new firms, they may be not. More and more often, in fact, the new firms are born as good businesses: good as in ethical, good as in eco-sustainable and good as in performance (e.g., as measured by the SDGs). Scholars contributing to this volume have addressed their attention toward four main themes respectively dealing with: Opportunities for good (Part I); The influence of individual profiles on entrepreneurial processes for good (Part II); The...
Decision Making in Social Sciences: Between Traditions and Innovations
This book explores several branches of the social sciences and their perspectives regarding their relations with decision-making processes: computer science, education, linguistics, sociology, and management. The decision-making process in social contexts is based on the analysis of sound alternatives using evaluative criteria. Therefore, this process is one that can be rational or irrational, and can be based on knowledge and/or beliefs. A decision-making process always produces a final decision, which may or may not imply prompt action, and increases the chances of choosing the best possible alternative. The book is divided into four main parts. The concepts covered in the first part, on c...
The Western Perception of Islam between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
In the Middle Ages, as Christian sources on the Islamic world show, Muslim culture was perceived as extremely threatening: there were many defenses of Christianity, like the treatise on the "mistakes" of the followers of Allah. This book shows, through an analysis of the works of Nicholas of Cusa and of other authors, that in the course of time this textual attitude was modified, as European authors aimed to point out the Christian truth in comparison with the "falsity" of Islamic theology, in order to reinforce Christian identity through the presupposition of its own absolute truth. The apologetic aim was gradually replaced by a systematic comparison based on partial translations of the Qur'an. The comparison with the "other" was also the basis for reinforcing identity, in order to demonstrate the truth and consequently the supremacy of one's own theoretical position.
Cuba
This catalog, which accompanied an exhibition at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, gathers paintings, drawings and photography from Cuba done over the past century and a half. In addition to hundreds of works on paper, it features revealing photographs - some never before published - that record the country's wars of independence and revolution, its utopian endeavors and social realities. Numerous essays explore aspects of the Cuban visual arts such as nineteenth-century landscapes and photojournalism, the burgeoning of the arte nuevo period, Wifredo Lam's seminal African-inspired images, the creation of the famed collective mural, Castro-era poster art and the emergence of a new generation of artists.

Arte Ambientale, Urban Space, and Participatory Art
Working in 1970s Italy, a group of artists—namely Ugo La Pietra, Maurizio Nannucci, Francesco Somaini, Mauro Staccioli, Franco Summa, and Franco Vaccari—sought new spaces to create and exhibit art. Looking beyond the gallery, they generated sculptural, conceptual, and participatory interventions, called Arte Ambientale (Environmental Art), situated in the city streets. Their experiments emerged at a time of cultural crisis, when fierce domestic terrorism aggravated an already fragile political situation. To confront the malaise, these artists embraced a position of artistic autonomy and social critique, democratically connecting the city's inhabitants through direct art practices.

Luciano Spiazzi - Mezzo secolo di arte bresciana nella penna di Luciano Spiazzi
Questo volume racchiude ciò che Luciano Spiazzi – bresciano “d.o.c.”, insegnante, critico d'arte e giornalista, per lunghi anni principale curatore delle pagine dedicate all'arte su Bresciaoggi e Giornale di Brescia – ha scritto dell’arte bresciana durante quasi trent'anni di attività nella seconda metà del ‘900. In particolare, si ritrovano testi critici sui numerosi artisti ai quali la Fondazione Dolci ha già ad oggi dedicato 18 monografie. Luciano Spiazzi è stato in quegli anni il più attento osservatore, veritiero e fine critico, del movimento artistico bresciano contemporaneo, di cui si è proposto come narratore e interprete, frequentando quotidianamente con passione ...
De luchtkunstenaar
In 1992 was Jan Hoet tijdens Documenta IX God in Kassel. Voor het oog van de wereld leefde hij zijn kunstideeën gretig uit. Hij wekte de indruk dat zijn artistieke oordeel onfeilbaar was. Die indruk is hij nadien blijven wekken. Had Jan Hoet inderdaad een alziend oog voor hedendaagse kunst of was hij vooral een janus die op briljante wijze zowel het publiek als de media inpakte? Hoet trok als een magiër de aandacht naar zich toe, maar hij werd ook zwaar op de korrel genomen door minder grote bewonderaars, die hij al evenzeer in overvloed had (alles aan Hoet was overvloed). Niet alleen Hoet zelf komt in dit boek aan het woord. Ook aartsvijanden, critici en collega-curatoren spreken zich over hem uit. En voor het eerst getuigen zon zestig internationale kunstenaars van hun ervaringen met Hoet, van Gerhard Richter en Marina Abramovic via Ilya Kabakov en Marlene Dumas tot Joseph Kosuth en Rob Scholte.
