The Keepers of the Spring

The “Sant’Anna” Water Adventure

By: Adriano Moraglio,Alberto Bertone

«In front of us there is a treasure of nature, which seems to say: defend me, protect me, let me know. We approach the waterfall at an accessible point and sink our hands into a pool. It's good, it's very light ... The water we tasted has conquered us immediately and, moreover, the place is enchanting. The idea of commercial is as good as water itself. A few days later, my father summoned me to his office: "Alberto, take care of you". "But Daddy, I do not care about this thing, I have other things on my mind: buildings, construction sites ...». A spite of all my rebellions, beyond a little, where do I go? It's been just a month since that conversation with my father that I find myself dealing with mineral waters, sources to be managed, future bottles to sell and grains to solve ... ". Thus begins the story of the water "Sant'Anna", the natural mineral water today leading in Italy. And this is his novel.

Piracy and the Decline of Venice 1580 - 1615

By: Alberto Tenenti

Pirate welfare played a prominent part in Mediterranean life during the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Its influence was significant both in the decline of Venice and in the shift of the economic hegemony of Europe. Professor Tenenti maintains that Venice is a fitting focus for study of this period, for the mediterranean became and increasingly a centre of European activity. On one side was Venice which, in spite of a huge navy and a still sizable merchant fleet, observed the strictest neutrality and sought only to protect her trade. On the other were potentially or openly hostile navies, which clashed with one another and frequently also with Venetian shipping. english and Dutch navies forced their way into the area by a combination of trade and piracy and established themselves in positions of great strength. Professor Tenenti analyzes the impact of northern piracy on the trade of the Venetian republic and her failure to resist this threat. During the early seventeenth century Venetian prosperity was irreparably damaged, not only by competition from the north, but also by a severe shipbuilding crisis. He suggests that Venice wa unable to adapt the organization, equipment and discipline of her navy to the changed conditions; for these were spheres in which her pride was particularly strong and tradition enduring. He describes the different types of pirates from the Barbary pirates, the Knights of Malta and the English corsairs to the Uscocchi, whom even sophisticated Venetians regarded as necromancers. The translation of this important work fo Venetian economic history makes a valuable addition to the books on the period available to English readers. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1961.

Poverty, Money, and Ecology as Pillars of Pope Francis' Pontificate (2013–2019)

By: Pablo Alberto Baisotti

This book will deal with arguments that analyze the Vatican policies of Francis, during the first seven years of his pontificate, in relation to some of the most urgent questions concerning humanity: migrants and refugees, the economy, and ecology. The logical choice of the time period for this work is given by Jorge Bergoglio's ascent to the "chair of St. Peter" until the end of 2019. That is why there is an interrelationship between history and the present, since it is written—in part—as his apostolic journeys, interventions, diplomatic actions, and discourses are carried out. To this is added an important quantity of writings of his authorship, as well as of some of his predecessors, in order to frame the question in a historically correct way and to understand his approach to issues of politics and international diplomacy, given his investiture as a religious and—at the same time—political leader

Monsignor Luigi Giussani (1922–2005) was the founder of the Catholic lay movement Communion and Liberation in Italy, which has hundreds of thousands of adherents around the globe. In The Life of Luigi Giussani Alberto Savorana, who spent an important part of his life working and studying with Giussani, draws on many unpublished documents to recount who the priest was and how he lived. Giussani’s life story is particularly significant because it shares many of the same challenges, risks, and paths toward enlightenment that are described in his numerous and influential publications. Savorana demonstrates that the circumstances Giussani experienced and the people he encountered played a crucial role in defining his vocation. Illuminating details are shared about Giussani’s parents, professors, and friends in the seminary, the things he read, his priesthood, his experience teaching, misunderstandings and moments of recognition, and illness. Luigi Giussani considered Christianity to be a fact, a real event in human life, which takes the form of an encounter, inviting anyone and everyone to verify its relevance to life’s needs. This is what happened for so many people all over the world who recognized in this priest and leader, with his rough and captivating voice, not only a teacher to learn from, but above all a man to compare oneself with – a companion for the journey who could be trusted to answer the question: how can we live? In addition to providing the first chronological reconstruction of the life of the founder of Communion and Liberation, The Life of Luigi Giussani provides a detailed account of his legacy and what his life’s work meant to individual people and the Church.

Jingle Bloody Bells

By: Matteo Bertone,Daniele Picciuti,Angelo Marenzana,Gianluca Ingaramo,Alberto Büchi,Emanuele Corsi,Francesco Calè,Armando Rotondi,Vito Pirrò,AA. VV.

Babbo Natale pubblica il suo primo libro ed esordisce in digitale, attraverso le narrazioni di nove autori italiani che ci parlano della propria visione del Natale. La notte più magica dell'anno si trasforma così in un teatro di morte e orrore, a volte venato di ironia, a volte sprofondato nella tenebra più profonda. Follia, perfidia, vendetta, mostruosità, demoni, zombie e folletti si alternano sul palcoscenico natalizio, dando vita a una giostra di sangue che vi farà dubitare della bontà del Natale. Per fortuna, penserà Santa Claus a mettere tutto a posto. Dalla sua introduzione: "Natale non è soltanto la gioiosa festa che tutti pensano, per quanto io mi sforzi di far sì che tutti lo credano, è chiaro. In questo giorno - e soprattutto la notte - accadono le cose più assurde. Solo in superficie è un momento di gioia, per molti il Natale è quell'unico giorno nell'anno in cui fare qualcosa di diverso per cambiare le cose. E, in genere, in peggio.
