Mussolinis Navy

A Reference Guide to the Regia Marina 1930-1945

By: Maurizio Brescia

This book is a complete guide to the Regia Marina, the navy with which Italy fought the Second World War. Starting with the historical background, it describes how the navy developed, how it was organised, the facilities that supported it, and the operations it conducted both before and after the armistice in 1943. It also details all its ships, with full technical particulars, plans and photos. Furthermore, there are chapters on special topics like camouflage; uniforms, decorations and insignia; and a 'who's who' of important naval personalities; and the reference value of the book is enhanced by a comprehensive bibliography and guide to sources. The illustration is a noteworthy feature of the book as the author's collection of naval photographs is one of the best in Italy. He is also a fine draughtsman, and his ship plans and colour illustrations are both detailed and accurate, adding a particular appeal for modelmakers. Of all the main combatant navies of this era, the Italian is probably the most poorly represented in English publications, so this comprehensive handbook will be especially welcomed by the naval history community.

Machiavelli's God

Machiavelli's God

By: Maurizio Viroli

How Machiavelli's Christianity shaped his political thought To many readers of The Prince, Machiavelli appears to be deeply un-Christian or even anti-Christian, a cynic who thinks rulers should use religion only to keep their subjects in check. But in Machiavelli's God, Maurizio Viroli, one of the world's leading authorities on Machiavelli, argues that Machiavelli, far from opposing Christianity, thought it was crucial to republican social and political renewal—but that first it needed to be renewed itself. And without understanding this, Viroli contends, it is impossible to comprehend Machiavelli's thought. Viroli places Machiavelli in the context of Florence's republican Christianity, which was founded on the idea that the true Christian is a citizen who serves the common good. In this tradition, God participates in human affairs, supports and rewards those who govern justly, and desires men to make the earthly city similar to the divine one. Building on this tradition, Machiavelli advocated a religion of virtue, and he believed that, without this faith, free republics could not be established, defend themselves against corruption, or survive. Viroli makes a powerful case that Machiavelli, far from being a pagan or atheist, was a prophet of a true religion of liberty, a way of moral and political living that would rediscover and pursue charity and justice. The translation of this work has been funded by SEPS—Segretariato Europeo per le Pubblicazioni Scientifiche.

Il recupero dei crediti internazionali

By: Maurizio Gardenal - Christian Montana

Stipulare un contratto con una controparte estera può far sorgere dubbi e problemi più complessi ed articolati rispetto a quelli generati dai rapporti contrattuali con soggetti nazionali. Il contesto in cui si sviluppa una transazione con l'estero è, infatti, caratterizzato dalla diversità di sistemi giuridici, dalla diversità di norme, di consuetudini, di significato attribuito a termini di uso comune che suggeriscono un esame attento delle diverse clausole contrattuali per ricercare quelle più idonee. Le componenti valutarie, finanziarie, creditizie, logistiche e commerciali, gli usi e le consuetudini, la scelta dei termini di consegna delle merci, le forme di pagamento in uso nei singoli Paesi possono, infatti, incidere in misura rilevante nella determinazione della natura e del contenuto del rapporto contrattuale. Nel volume sono approfondite le normative che interessano l'operatore italiano impegnato nel recupero di somme di denaro all'estero. Si esaminano il quadro normativo in vigore nell'Unione Europea, le norme italiane di diritto internazionale privato e processuale nonché le principali disposizioni di diritto uniforme relative alla vendita di beni mobili previste dalla Convenzione di Vienna. Si analizzano poi le disposizioni in essere in alcuni principali Paesi del mondo, ossia gli USA, la Cina, il Brasile, l'India, la Turchia e la Russia.

Italian Heavy Cruisers

From Trento to Bolzano

By: Maurizio Brescia,Augusto de Toro

When the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 effectively banned the building of battleships, competition between the major navies concentrated on the next most powerful category, heavy cruisers limited to 10,000 tons displacement and 8-inch guns. Italy followed this trend, the first design for what became Trento and Trieste being ordered in 1924. These were the fastest of the first generation ‘Treaty’ cruisers but were very lightly armored, and the succeeding Zara class of four ships were slower but better protected. However, before the final ship of this class (Pola) had been completed, there was a return to the earlier fast, lightly protected concept with the Bolzano, although this ship also incorporated aspects of the Zara design. The political background, design history and technical features of these classes are covered in great depth in this volume. They were important ships, subject to incremental improvement so no two were identical, and modelmakers in particular will appreciate the space devoted to the variations in appearance, using both description and illustration. As major units of the Italian battlefleet, they were more active than most during the war and their careers are fully detailed, including analyzes of damage suffered. Tragically, they were all sunk and the full circumstances of each loss is explored. As befits a technical history, the book is thoroughly illustrated with ship and armament plans, detail drawings and color camouflage schemes, as well as an outstanding collection of photographs. Translated from the same series that produced the highly successful Italian Battleships, this volume is a fitting companion.

Women and Weasels

Mythologies of Birth in Ancient Greece and Rome

By: Maurizio Bettini

If you told a woman her sex had a shared, long-lived history with weasels, she might deck you. But those familiar with mythology know better: that the connection between women and weasels is an ancient and favorable one, based in the Greek myth of a midwife who tricked the gods to ease Heracles’s birth—and was turned into a weasel by Hera as punishment. Following this story as it is retold over centuries in literature and art, Women and Weasels takes us on a journey through mythology and ancient belief, revising our understanding of myth, heroism, and the status of women and animals in Western culture. Maurizio Bettini recounts and analyzes a variety of key literary and visual moments that highlight the weasel’s many attributes. We learn of its legendary sexual and childbearing habits and symbolic association with witchcraft and midwifery, its role as a domestic pet favored by women, and its ability to slip in and out of tight spaces. The weasel, Bettini reveals, is present at many unexpected moments in human history, assisting women in labor and thwarting enemies who might plot their ruin. With a parade of symbolic associations between weasels and women—witches, prostitutes, midwives, sisters-in-law, brides, mothers, and heroes—Bettini brings to life one of the most venerable and enduring myths of Western culture.

As If God Existed

Religion and Liberty in the History of Italy

As If God Existed

Religion and Liberty in the History of Italy

By: Maurizio Viroli

Religion and liberty are often thought to be mutual enemies: if religion has a natural ally, it is authoritarianism--not republicanism or democracy. But in this book, Maurizio Viroli, a leading historian of republican political thought, challenges this conventional wisdom. He argues that political emancipation and the defense of political liberty have always required the self-sacrifice of people with religious sentiments and a religious devotion to liberty. This is particularly the case when liberty is threatened by authoritarianism: the staunchest defenders of liberty are those who feel a deeply religious commitment to it. Viroli makes his case by reconstructing, for the first time, the history of the Italian "religion of liberty," covering its entire span but focusing on three key examples of political emancipation: the free republics of the late Middle Ages, the Risorgimento of the nineteenth century, and the antifascist Resistenza of the twentieth century. In each example, Viroli shows, a religious spirit that regarded moral and political liberty as the highest goods of human life was fundamental to establishing and preserving liberty. He also shows that when this religious sentiment has been corrupted or suffocated, Italians have lost their liberty. This book makes a powerful and provocative contribution to today's debates about the compatibility of religion and republicanism.

La ricerca del Santo Graal nel Mezzogiorno d'Italia durante il Medioevo - Volume II - "Milites Christi"

By: Maurizio Lo Conte

In questo secondo volume della trilogia, dopo aver individuato le fonti indicate nel primo libro, l'indagine sistematica procede attraverso la riproposizione e la rivisitazione degli straordinari avvenimenti che condussero alle fondazioni dei rinomati Ordini cavallereschi medievali. Tuttavia lo studio, che pur esamina le fasi dello sviluppo e della tragica decadenza che colpì le suddette fratellanze, è rivolto essenzialmente verso l'interpretazione, con chiave di lettura esoterica, del loro agire. Discostandosi dalle opinioni maggioritarie e convenzionali propugnate dalla critica storica moderna, al fine di far emergere le tracce celate che attestano il volontario coinvolgimento dei sodalizi in questione fin nel "cuore spirituale" della corrente del Santo Graal fluente nel Mezzogiorno della penisola italiana.

For Love of Country

An Essay On Patriotism and Nationalism

By: Maurizio Viroli

Nationalism and patriotism are two of the most powerful forces shaping world history. Though seen by many as two sides of the same coin, they have developed widely different connotations. Nationalism is increasingly seen as destructive, and at the root of the world's bloodiest conflicts; patriotism seems something more benign, a political virtue. How are we to mark the distinction between these two phenomena? How can we rescue patriotism from the tainted grasp of nationalism? Reconstructing the historical the meaning of the terms, Maurizio Viroli shows how the two concepts have been used within specific cultural and ideological contexts. He reviews the political though of Italy, England, and Germany and shows how patriotism and nationalism have fundamentally different roots. Professor Viroli concludes that it is morally unacceptable, and indeed unnecessary, to be a nationalist to defend the values that nationalists hold dear. Patriotism, however, is a valuable source of civic responsibility.

Age-Dating Stars

From the Sun to Distant Galaxies

By: Maurizio Salaris

The determination of stellar ages has been - and still is - crucial for the development of our understanding of the universe, and to constrain theoretical models for the formation of galaxies and the evolution of planetary systems. Stellar ages provide scientists with timescales, and these timescales allow us to identify the relevant physical processes responsible for the development of cosmic structures. This book describes in a simple, yet rigorous, manner the vast array of techniques that have been developed and are currently being used to determine the ages of stars. It also explores how stellar ages inform our knowledge about planets, star clusters, galaxies, even distant galaxies that we cannot resolve into individual stars. Up-to-date with the latest research and technologies in the field, it includes the cutting-edge methods being used based on asteroseismology and discusses open problems that remain to be pondered in future research. It will be of interest to advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying astronomy, in addition to the general public. Key Features Presents an entertaining and accessible approach whilst also providing a rigorous and comprehensive presentation of the subject Describes how to unveil the ages of stellar populations in distant galaxies that we cannot resolve into individual stars Contains historical notes about these techniques, outstanding major problems, and a discussion on future developments in the field

Doc-Humanity

By: Maurizio Ferraris

However you view the present time, it is a new century, a new world, and also a new humanity - in fact, humanity is not something that was ever defined once and for all, but remains an open project. For several decades we have been witnessing a revolution. However, unlike the political and ideological revolutions that took place around the First World War, this is a technological and much more radical one that does not depend on people's beliefs, but rather on the tireless labour of machines. The rise of automation has brought about a revelation of something that had hitherto remained hidden in the workshops of homo faber. That is, there are very few functions, apart from consumption, where a machine cannot replace a human being, be these material or spiritual - machines need energy, but they can also do without it, whereas humans die if deprived of it, or one can imagine a machine producing symphonies, but not enjoying them. So while human beings are still needed, their roles and scopes have to be reconsidered. Workers may be superfluous, but humans are still needed, including those who until recently only recognised themselves as producers. The exclusion of workers from production does not discount humans being able to produce value in the form of consumption. Recognising this will enable us to conceive the "Webfare" - a new digital system that will teach us to find new names and new forms, more tolerance and room for traditional human needs. Above all, it will teach us how to transform the time given to us by automation into an opportunity for progress.

Suicide in Schizophrenia

By: Roberto Tatarelli,Maurizio Pompili,Paolo Girardi

Why an entire volume on suicide in schizophrenia? It would appear that international literature already provides enough information in this field. Also, the daily growing number of papers on suicide among schizophrenic are certainly a more updated source of information may contribute to the reduction of deaths by suicide among these patients. Yet, as in the case of suicide as a whole, this progress of knowledge does not match with reduction of suicide rates, let alone reduction of suicide rates among people with schizophrenia. Maybe a summary, an overview that cannot be achieved with a simple Medline search may help those who are involved and those who should be involved in the prevention of self-killing of schizophrenic patients. This book, therefore, reports essays of some of the opinion leaders in the field with the aim to shed light to such overwhelming phenomenon.

Redeeming The Prince

The Meaning of Machiavelli's Masterpiece

By: Maurizio Viroli

A fresh introduction to—and bold new interpretation of—Machiavelli's Prince In Redeeming "The Prince," one of the world's leading Machiavelli scholars puts forth a startling new interpretation of arguably the most influential but widely misunderstood book in the Western political tradition. Overturning popular misconceptions and challenging scholarly consensus, Maurizio Viroli also provides a fresh introduction to the work. Seen from this original perspective, five centuries after its composition, The Prince offers new insights into the nature and possibilities of political liberation. Rather than a bible of unscrupulous politics, The Prince, Viroli argues, is actually about political redemption—a book motivated by Machiavelli's patriotic desire to see a new founding for Italy. Written in the form of an oration, following the rules of classical rhetoric, the book condenses its main message in the final section, "Exhortation to liberate Italy from the Barbarians." There Machiavelli creates the myth of a redeemer, an ideal ruler who ushers in an era of peace, freedom, and unity. Contrary to scholars who maintain that the exhortation was added later, Viroli proves that Machiavelli composed it along with the rest of the text, completing the whole by December 1513 or early 1514. Only if we read The Prince as a theory of political redemption, Viroli contends, can we at last understand, and properly evaluate, the book's most controversial pages on political morality, as well as put to rest the cliché of Machiavelli as a "Machiavellian." Bold, clear, and provocative, Redeeming "The Prince" should permanently change how Machiavelli and his masterpiece are understood.

Crimes of Peace

Mediterranean Migrations at the World's Deadliest Border

By: Maurizio Albahari

Among the world's hotly contested, obsessively controlled, and often dangerous borders, none is deadlier than the Mediterranean Sea. Since 2000, at least 25,000 people have lost their lives attempting to reach Italy and the rest of Europe, most by drowning in the Mediterranean. Every day, unauthorized migrants and refugees bound for Europe put their lives in the hands of maritime smugglers, while fishermen, diplomats, priests, bureaucrats, armed forces sailors, and hesitant bystanders waver between indifference and intervention—with harrowing results. In Crimes of Peace, Maurizio Albahari investigates why the Mediterranean Sea is the world's deadliest border, and what alternatives could improve this state of affairs. He also examines the dismal conditions of migrants in transit and the institutional framework in which they move or are physically confined. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of places, people, and European politics, Albahari supplements fieldwork in coastal southern Italy and neighboring Mediterranean locales with a meticulous documentary investigation, transforming abstract statistics into names and narratives that place the responsibility for the Mediterranean migration crisis in the very heart of liberal democracy. Global fault lines are scrutinized: between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East; military and humanitarian governance; detention and hospitality; transnational crime and statecraft; the universal law of the sea and the thresholds of a globalized yet parochial world. Crimes of Peace illuminates crucial questions of sovereignty and rights: for migrants trying to enter Europe along the Mediterranean shore, the answers are a matter of life or death.

Old Stellar Populations

How to Study the Fossil Record of Galaxy Formation

By: Santi Cassisi,Maurizio Salaris

The book discusses the theoretical path to decoding the information gathered from observations of old stellar systems. It focuses on old stellar systems because these are the fossil record of galaxy formation and provide invaluable information ont he evolution of cosmic structures and the universe as a whole. The aim is to present results obtained in the past few years for theoretical developments in low mass star research and in advances in our knowledge of the evolution of old stellar systems. A particularly representative case is the recent discovery of multiple stellar populations in galactic globular clusters that represents one of the hottest topics in stellar and galactic astrophysics and is discussed in detail. Santi Cassisi has authored about 270 scientific papers, 150 of them in peer-reviewed journals, and the title Evolution of Stars and Stellar Populations.

Il giallo si tinge di nero

Una spumeggiante pasquinata basata sull?ironica parodia di personaggi e circostanze trafugati all'immaginario collettivo o recuperati da notizie di stampa pi? o meno recenti. Due fantasiosi racconti che si svolgono in Sicilia e che prendono spunto dall?indagine sulla misteriosa morte di un investigatore privato molto noto in citt?. La pista seguita dal commissario di polizia incaricato delle indagini insieme a uno dei due collaboratori della vittima, si ingarbuglia come un gomitolo di corda sottile ogni volta che sembra arrivare a qualcosa. Pian piano appare sempre pi? evidente che dietro tutti quei delitti si nasconde una trama pi? sottile e quello che sembrava un giallo assume sembianze diverse, dove gli intrecci tra mafia, massoneria e politica rendono via via pi? chiari i contorni del disegno.

Una Rolls Bianca - Diario di Nunzio l'Emigrante

By: Maurizio Massa

Nunzio è il classico bravo ragazzo. Studioso, corretto e, soprattutto, ottimista, come il Candido di Voltaire si lascia coinvolgere in grandi amicizie e profondi amori. Avvocato di successo, deve lasciare la toga ed emigrare in Germania dove è costretto a lavorare come operaio in un'azienda di stoccaggio e commercializzazione del pesce. Poi, improvvisamente, succede qualcosa che cambierà tutta la sua vita. Vince in premio con una bibita una bellissima Rolls e torna al suo paese natio. Al suo arrivo viene accolto come un esule che torna vittorioso e non ha il coraggio di spiegare come la vita sia dura per un emigrante e come non sia possibile riscattare le proprie origini nè metter soldi da parte. La mattina seguente, al suo risveglio, si rende conto di essere rimasto solo. Lui, le galline e pochi vecchi che non avevano più la forza di mettersi in viaggio.
