Pietro Testa's «Alexander the Great Saved from the Rive». Ediz. a Colori

By: Stefan Albl

Stefan Albl's project focused on preparing a book on one of Pietro Testa?s last paintings before committing suicide. This painting was inspired by Quintus Curtius Rufus History of Alexander the Great and depicts a rarely represented episode in the life of the great commander: in the middle of a hot summer day, Alexander, covered in dust and sweat, decided to swim in the river Cydnus. Unaware of the fact that the water was cold, Alexander?s limbs went rigid and all the warmth of life was drained from his body. This study examined Testa?s reading of Curtius Rufus and his interpretation in painting. Classical art-historical analytical methods were combined with more philosophical and medical issues.

Catalog of the Gaietto Collection

By: Pietro Gaietto

The idea of this catalog came after an auspicious placement of these sculptures in museums of prehistoric archaeology in those regions of Italy where the sculptures were found. Their division into 12 types that were produced progressively over two million years is of use to scholars; it allows us to visually interpret the evolution of the human species as represented in the sculptures, as well as types of stone processing, the sculptures' meaning (as religious objects) and lastly, the evolution in stylistic deformation, that is artistic fashion.

Italian Mathematics Between the Two World Wars

By: Angelo Guerraggio,Pietro Nastasi

This book describes Italian mathematics in the period between the two World Wars. It analyzes the development by focusing on both the interior and the external influences. Italian mathematics in that period was shaped by a colorful array of strong personalities who concentrated their efforts on a select number of fields and won international recognition and respect in an incredibly short time. Consequently, Italy was considered a third mathematical power after France and Germany.

Origin Of Man

By: Pietro Gaietto

In this book prehistoric archaeologist Pietro Gaietto reviews 200 years of research on prehistoric man, tracing the two-million year journey from Homo habilis to modern man. Comparing skeletal remains and skulls with Paleolithic stone sculptures helps explain how different human civilizations came about and prevailed, in parallel or in association. The book uses skeletal finds to explain how one human species overlapped with another. In addition, little-known anthropomorphic sculpture from the Paleolithic is presented to illustrate the physical evolution of man and aspects of prehistoric behavior similar to modern man, with a careful consideration of how human intelligence evolved.

The Politics of Migration in Italy

Perspectives on local debates and party competition

By: Pietro Castelli Gattinara

Migration represents one of the key issues in both Italian and European politics, and it has triggered EU-wide debates and negotiations, alongside alarmist and often sensationalist news reporting on the activities of government, party and social movement actors. The Politics of Migration in Italy explores what happens when previously undiscussed issues become central to political agendas and are publicly debated in the mass media. Examining how political actors engage with the issue of migration in electoral campaigning, this book highlights how complex policy issues are addressed selectively by political entrepreneurs and how the responses of political actors are influenced by strategic incentives and ongoing events. This book studies the dynamics of the politicization of the immigration issue across three local contexts in Italy – Prato, Milan and Rome – which differ systematically with respect to crucial economic, cultural and security dimensions of immigration. Offering an innovative exploration of party competition and migration in Italy, as well as providing the conceptual and analytical tools to understand how these dynamics play out beyond the Italian case, this book is essential reading for students, scholars and policymakers working in the areas of migration studies, agenda-setting and European politics more generally.

Science and Religion

Baden Powell and the Anglican Debate, 1800-1860

By: Pietro Corsi

Science and Religion assesses the impact of social, political and intellectual change upon Anglican circles, with reference to Oxford University in the decades that followed the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars. More particularly, the career of Baden Powell, father of the more famous founder of the Boy Scout movement, offers material for an important case-study in intellectual and political reorientation: his early militancy in right-wing Anglican movements slowly turned to a more tolerant attitude towards radical theological, philosophical and scientific trends. During the 1840s and 1850s, Baden Powell became a fearless proponent of new dialogues in transcendentalism in theology, positivism in philosophy, and pre-Darwinian evolutionary theories in biology. He was for instance the first prominent Anglican to express full support for Darwin's Origin of Species. Analysis of his many publications, and of his interaction with such contemporaries as Richard Whately, John Henry and Francis Newman, Robert Chambers, William Benjamin Carpenter, George Henry Lewes and George Eliot, reveals hitherto unnoticed dimensions of mid-nineteenth-century British intellectual and social life.

In this book Pietro Gaietto, archaeologist and artist, documents the life of the domestic dog. He analyzes the many activities in which the dog is used by man for work, including the heaviest tasks. In spite of everything, man's friendship with the dog has never failed, nor has his appreciation for its beauty. In the other half of the world, the dog is also appreciated as a nutritious menu item. The dog is now our close companion and often a pup is castrated to avoid disturbing man with its inconvenient passions!

Reincarnation in Modern Life

Towards a New Christian Awareness : Six Lectures Given in Rome, 22-25 April 1994

By: Pietro Archiati

Reincarnation is usually considered to be an ancient, non-Christian doctrine originating in the East. Is it compatible with the teachings of Christianity? In a lively and fluid style, Pietro Archiati describes the approach to reincarnation taken by the spiritual master Rudolf Steiner--an approach that is wholly relevant to Western consciousness and steeped in true Christianity. By applying and developing Steiner's ideas, Archiati brings the concept of reincarnation to bear on many aspects of modern life, including such vexed issues as abortion and rape. He addresses the question of whether reincarnation appears in the New Testament, and explains how we can understand theological problems such as Christ's Resurrection and the resurrection of the body from this wider context.

Happiness - Life's important moment

By: Pietro Gaietto

Pietro Gaietto, archaeologist, artist and essayist, recalled that happiness is repeated many times in people's lives. In his youth, happiness was a consequence of his important discoveries of bifacial anthropomorphic lithic sculpture of the ancient Stone Age (Paleolithic). In another period he found happiness exploring new styles of shapes and colors in his activity as an artist. On other occasions happiness came from making new friends.

Ethical and Aesthetic Explorations of Systemic Practice

New Critical Reflections

By: Pietro Barbetta,Maria Esther Cavagnis,Inga-Britt Krause,Umberta Telfener

In Ethical and Aesthetic Explorations of Systemic Practice, the four co-authors come together to rhizomatically consider how systemic theories can be reinvigorated in the present day. This fascinating book uses the ideas and work of renowned anthropologist Gregory Bateson as a springboard from which to examine the fundamental tenets of systemic theory and practice, as well as looking to the work of Deleuze, Guattari, Maturana, Varela and von Foerster. Including contributions from a range of renowned therapists, each chapter examines the guiding principles from a critical perspective, asking questions around the ontology of the therapeutic encounter and the technique of therapy itself. This revivifying volume will be of interest to systemic professionals, and those looking at how the systemic community can continue to grow and evolve.

History of Venice

By: Pietro Bembo

Pietro Bembo (1470–1547), a Venetian nobleman, later a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, was a celebrated Latin stylist and was widely admired for his writings in Italian as well. His early dialogue on the subject of love influenced the development of the literary vernacular, as did his Prose della volgar lingua (1525). From 1513 to 1521 he served Pope Leo X as Latin secretary and became known as the leading advocate of Ciceronian Latin in Europe and of the Tuscan dialect within Italy. He was named official historian of Venice in 1529 and began to compose in Latin his continuation of the city's history in twelve books, covering the years from 1487 to 1513. Although the work chronicles internal politics and events, much of it is devoted to the external affairs of Venice, principally conflicts with other European states (France, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, Milan, and the papacy) and with the Turks in the East.

In the Mirror of the Prodigal Son

The Pastoral Uses of a Biblical Narrative (c. 1200–1550)

By: Pietro Delcorno

In the Mirror of the Prodigal Son provides a comprehensive history of the function of the parable of the prodigal son in shaping religious identity in medieval and Reformation Europe. By investigating a wealth of primary sources, the book reveals the interaction between commentaries, sermons, religious plays, and images as a decisive factor in the increasing popularity of the prodigal son. Pietro Delcorno highlights the ingenious and multifaceted uses of the parable within pastoral activities and shows the pervasive presence of the Bible in medieval communication. The prodigal son narrative became the ideal story to convey a discourse about sin and penance, grace and salvation. In this way, the parable was established as the paradigmatic biography of any believer.
