A Cultural Symbiosis
The history of the Florentine patriciate did not end with the establishment of the Medici Duchy and Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Proud and self-confident, these patricians were not subservient courtiers; on the contrary, they continued to exert a considerable influence on Florentine culture and politics for centuries. The patrician class in sixteenth-century Florence were the descendants of wealthy, sophisticated and politically savvy families who, while acquiring noble titles, estates, and villas, retained their long-standing urban identity. The mark they left on the city’s cultural and artistic life was embraced by the Medici, who used their political and diplomatic knowhow, eleborate artistic commissions, and European networks to enhance their power and prestige. A Cultural Symbiosis highlights the contributions to Florentine art and culture of eight patricians, focusing on the Valori, Pucci, Ridolfi, Vecchietti, del Nero, Salviati, Guicciardini, and Niccolini families.

Santa Maria del Prato in Campagnano. Mille anni di storia
La storia della chiesa e convento di Santa Maria del Prato in Campagnano, fondazione benedettina attestata dal 1093, poi trasferita ai Minori conventuali nel secolo XIII e nel 1488 ai Minori osservanti, è una storia di lunga durata' che termina con la soppressione dell'Ente nel 1873, a seguito delle leggi eversive dell'asse ecclesiastico, per risorgere, negli ultimi decenni del secolo scorso, come Ente Assistenza Sociale "Il Salvatore". Ciò che sorprende è la 'quantità di storia' generata, a testimonianza della vitalità di questa fondazione la cui storia emerge alla nascita della nazione italiana e sempre è intrecciata nella complessa e complicata vicenda del Paese. Il volume, a cura di Lanfranco Mazzotti e Mario Sciarra, è introdotto da Luigi Londei, con saggi di: Laura Gili, Carmine Iuozzo, Dante Marini, Luigi Sergio Mecocci, Simona Sperindei.

When Michelangelo Was Modern

Ferdinand Gregorovius in seinem Jahrhundert
Der Band versammelt die Beiträge einer internationalen Tagung zum 200. Geburtstag von Ferdinand Gregorovius (1821–1891). Sie stand im Zusammenhang mit der Edition seiner größtenteils unbekannten "Gesammelten deutschen und italienischen Briefe", die einen vollkommen neuen Blick auf den Altmeister der Mediävistik und Erfolgsautor erlauben. Die Beiträge widmen sich seinem Blick auf den Katholizismus und das Judentum, seinem Verhältnis zu anderen deutschen Historikern im 19. Jahrhundert, gehen dem Verhältnis von Zunft- und Privatgelehrtentum und den Interferenzen von wissenschaftlicher Forschung und Zeitzeugenschaft nach. Aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln beleuchten sie Gregorovius' Selbstverständnis als Gelehrter, Philologe, Schriftsteller und Geschichtsschreiber sowie seine Stellung im internationalen Gelehrtennetzwerk. Ein Quellenanhang bietet eine größere Auswahl der bislang unbekannten römischen Korrespondenzen, die Gregorovius für die Berliner "National-Zeitung" verfasste. Die Artikel sind mit und neben seinen Tagebüchern eine erstklassige Quelle für den deutschen Blick auf Italien, das Risorgimento und die römische Stadtgeschichte.
