A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy (1350–1600)
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
The Sistine Chapel
The art of the Sistine Chapel, decorated by artists who competed with one another and commissioned by popes who were equally competitive, is a complex fabric of thematic, chronological, and artistic references. Four main campaigns were undertaken to decorate the chapel between 1481 and 1541, and with each new addition, fundamental themes found increasingly concrete expression. One overarching theme plays a central role in the chapel: the legitimization of papal authority, as symbolized by two keys—one silver, one gold—to the kingdom of heaven. The Sistine Chapel: Paradise in Rome is a concise, informative account of the Sistine Chapel. In unpacking this complex history, Ulrich Pfisterer ...
Negative Regulators of Innate Immunity and their Role in Host Responses to Injury and Infection, 2nd edition
Every organism must recognize damage-associated and pathogen-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs and PAMPs) to react rapidly. The immune system requires potent negative regulators to control unnecessary or overshooting responses and balance the homeostasis in all tissues. A significant number of negative regulators of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) consist of modified innate sensors and downstream molecules that regulate inflammatory signals initiated by sterile, damage-associated inflammation as well as responses to pathogens. These conserved mechanisms contribute to immune homeostasis, maintain a constant number of immune cells, and limit the activation of the cells during frequent s...
La polveriera
Il premio Strega è da sempre un formidabile contenitore di storie, perlopiù a sfondo giallo. Beninteso, non il giallo oro che lo zafferano dona all'omonimo liquore. Se c'è una tonalità appropriata, è piuttosto quella sulfurea delle gelide macchinazioni. Maria Bellonci scriveva di possedere ben chiara "la percezione di aver architettato una polveriera". Stanze cariche di presenze e memorie, dove si è dispensata - e tuttora si dispensa - la gloria letteraria: "sala d'aspetto d'Immortali", scrive ironicamente Cesare Pavese, e al contempo "polveriera" in cui deflagrano le ambizioni dei maggiori scrittori contemporanei, suggerisce con realismo Maria Bellonci, padrona di casa nonché animatr...
