Eugenio principe di Savoia-Carignano, conte di Soissons. Generale a soli 24 anni, feldmaresciallo a 27, Eugenio è stato il più grande comandante della storia dell’esercito di Casa d’Austria e dalle cancellerie europee, per l’abilità dimostrata anche in diplomazia, fu considerato ‘l’imperatore segreto’. Dopo il rifiuto da parte di Luigi XIV al suo ingresso nell’esercito, il principe fuggì in Austria e in quel paese iniziò la sua sfolgorante carriera, culminata con l’ascesa ai vertici della macchina militare asburgica, condotta nella duplice veste di combattente e instancabile riformatore. In questa serie di tre volumi viene analizzata la storia, la direzione dell’esercito e la sua organizzazione, compreso l’equipaggiamento e le uniformi della fanteria imperiale al tempo del grande capitano italiano.
L’idea di completare questo lavoro sulla fanteria imperiale, non poteva prescindere dalla compilazione delle storie reggimentali e le relative filiazioni avvenute nelle diverse unità, esaminate nell’arco degli anni nei quali agì il grande capitano italiano. Non potevano altresì mancare i rimandi uniformologici, solo in parte già noti e che durante la ricerca si fecero sempre più dettagliati, fino ad aprire un‟ampio spiraglio sulla conoscenza delle prime uniformi dell’esercito di Casa d’Austria. Sicuramente un volume utile agli appassionati di storia militare e di uniformologia.

The formulation of Maxwell’s equations completely defines the connection between the electric field and the magnetic field, definitively unifying electricity and magnetism and at the same time providing a theoretical synthesis of all the experimental phenomena connected to these areas. In his revolutionary 1864 memoir where J.C. Maxwell presented his equations, he cites a handful of scientists, which were at the basis of his Theory. This book, in its first part, presents an insight on all these latter scientists, reconstructing the scientific network behind Maxwell’s unification and, in the second part, focuses on the Italians in such a network: Ottaviano Fabrizio Mossotti and Riccardo Felici, with a further insight on the connections between Maxwell and Italy and, in particular, Tuscany.
Milan, known worldwide as the economic and fashion capital of Italy, is one of the most advanced cities in the world which, in its completely urbanized area of almost 181.76km², includes also wonderful shops and a great social life, besides, of course, art, a university culture, excellent food and traditions recognizable in everyday life and in daily habits; for example, the rediscovery of the small markets as a place to meet and have a chat, or going for a walk with the family in the streets of the centre. It is not at all easy to determine what is in the name “Milan”: first of all, it refers to a municipality with about 1,300,000 inhabitants, but also to an urban area with about 3,900,000 inhabitants also known as the “Greater Milan” and finally, to a metropolitan area of 7,400,000 inhabitants. Nevertheless, the city is identified by its symbols, and our intention is to introduce you to every aspect of the city of Milan through virtual photographs, texts and some curiosities. It is worth visiting Milan to learn the many realities that surround this city, from the entrepreneurial vocation to the connection with tradition: only by knowing the richness of the past can we confront the present. Enjoy your visit!
Carlo Emanuele III di Savoia detto il Laborioso e soprannominato dai torinesi Carlin , secondo re di Sardegna, nasce a Torino il 27 aprile 1701. Oltre al titolo reale che cinge nel 1730 riveste anche i titoli di duca di Savoia, marchese di Monferrato, marchese di Saluzzo, Principe di Piemonte e conte d‘Aosta , della Moriana e di Nizza. Sotto il suo regno, che durò ben quarantatré anni, tutti nel corso del 700, lo Stato di Sardegna rimase nell’orbita strategica delle grandi potenze intervenendo nelle guerre di successione polacca ed austriaca ed astenendosi invece dalla guerra dei sette anni. Cosa che portò alla formazione di un potente strumento militare quale fu l’esercito sabaudo di quegli anni e che qui illustriamo nelle bellissime tavole dell’artista romano Massimo Brandani che sono la parte aurea del volume che andiamo a proporvi.

Year 2018: from the icon of the Palace of the Lordship of Jesi the bronze crown to symbolize the royalty of the city, always above the rampant lion, disappears . A new enigma to be solved for the scholar Lucia Balleani who, having finally met the love in the young archaeologist Andrea Franciolini, she has to rediscover with him some unknown aspects of the life of her ancestor Lucia Baldeschi. So let's return, together with our two heroes, back in time to half a millennium, to discover how people lived among the alleys, squares and palaces of a beautiful city in the Marche region, famous in the world, then as now, for being the birthplace of Emperor Frederick the II. ”But neither one of them, looking up over the portal and dwelling on the rampant lion's shrine, could escape a detail, which brought an exclamation to their mouths, almost in unison, as if they were one person: ”The crown!”.Bernardino, the printer, is lying in desperate conditions in a room at Santa Lucia hospital. Cardinal Baldeschi died suddenly and left the city government vacant. Will young Lucia Baldeschi finally take the reins of government and prevent Jesi from falling into the hands of enemies who have always been pressing at his doors? Certainly, one cannot leave the government in the hands of four corrupt nobles or, worse, entrust it to the papal legate sent by the Pope. But Lucia is a woman, and it's not easy to take on roles of power, traditionally handed down to men. And Andrea, her love, what happened to her, after escaping the scaffold and disappearing in the wake of the Mancino? Will he return to the scene to help his beloved? Or will controversial events lead him to other shores? And we also remember the parallel story, that of the scholar Lucia Balleani, our contemporary, who perhaps has finally met the love of hes life, the one who will take her by hand to discover with the reader new arcane secrets. Love and death, esotericism and logic, good and evil. These are just some of the ingredients that give rhythm to this new investigation, focused on the mysterious disappearance of the bronze crown, once placed above the rampant lion of the main palace of Jesi, that of the Signoria. Once again, the past is intertwined with the present, through the parallel vicissitudes of the protagonists of the present day and their namesake ancestors. A comely lady and haughty regent of the Aesina Republic, Lucia Baldeschi is divided between the obligations of the reason of state and love for the fugitive knight, the brave leader Andrea Franciolini. Between history and legend, the action ranges from the severe buildings and dark secret passages of an underground Jesi, to the open countryside of its Contado, populated by shepherds and monks during the day and animated by magical rites during moonlight. Then there are the intrigues of the palace, the feuds between the lords and the battles; those between the armies and against the pirates, from Urbino to Senigallia, up to some of the most suggestive gorges of the Apennines. The sixteenth century, characterized by light and shadow, is divided between the cult of reason and the practice of esotericism, of which the characters of the novel are the faithful mirror. In their demeanour, as well as in their merits and defects. In their footsteps, among sensational discoveries and brilliant intuitions, the quarrelsome lovers, Lucia and Andrea, from the Jesi of the twenty-first century will come to the truth in the sign of a timeless love.
This book explores the cultural conditions that led to the emergence and proliferation of Saint Hermenegildo as a stage character in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It considers how this saint became a theatrical trope enabling the Society of Jesus to address religious and secular concerns of the post-Tridentine Church, and to discuss political issues such as the supremacy of the pope over the monarch and the legitimacy of regicide. The book goes on to explain how the Hermenegildo narrative developed outside of Jesuit colleges, through works by professional dramatist Lope de Vega and Mexican nun Juana Inés de la Cruz. Stefano Muneroni takes a global approach to the staging of Hermenegildo, tracing the character’s journey from Europe to the Americas, from male to female authors, and from a sacrificial to a sacramental paradigm where the emphasis shifts from bloodletting to spiritual salvation. Given its interdisciplinary approach, this book is geared toward scholars and students of theatre history, religion and drama, early modern theology, cultural studies, romance languages and literature, and the history of the Society of Jesus..

Year 2019: once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of a historical centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras. The archaeological excavations of Piazza Colocci will in fact reserve unexpected surprises in the eyes of the entire population of Jesi. We begin to follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discovery of ancient documents and archaeological finds by the young couple of researchers of our time. New winds of war will in fact lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. After the first two episodes of the series ”The Printer”, here we are at the end, the last episode of the saga dedicated to the Renaissance Jesi. We left Andrea almost at the point of death, helped by his beloved, hidden in disguise. The plot has moved to Urbino, but certainly our two heroes, Andrea Franciolini and Lucia Baldeschi, will have to return to Jesi to fulfill their dream of love. The wedding will have to be a festive and opulent event, and will have to be celebrated by the Bishop of the City of Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. But are we sure that obscure plots, of destiny and of men, will not be able to hinder for the umpteenth time the union between Andrea and Lucia? The two lovers have found each other again, and for nothing in the world would they want to leave each other again. Andrea finally wants to be a father to his little girl, Laura and, why not, to Lucia's adopted daughter, Anna. The girls are fantastic, they are growing up healthy and lively in the country residence of the Counts Baldeschi, and Andrea is enjoying their closeness. But winds of war will once again lead the Captain of Arms of the Royal City of Jesi to the battlefields. And soon to leave the peace and quiet regained. The Lansquenets press the gates of northern Italy and the Duke of Oak, in a strange alliance with Giovanni De' Medici, better known as Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, will do his best to prevent German soldiers from reaching Florence and even Rome. Avoiding the sacking of the Eternal City in 1527 will not be an easy task, neither for the Duke Della Rovere, nor for Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, nor for Captain Franciolino de' Franciolini. Let us once again follow the events of the characters of the sixteenth century through the discoveries of ancient documents and archaeological finds of the young couple of researchers of our time. Once again, the scholar Lucia Balleani and the archaeologist Andrea Franciolini will take us by the hand and guide us through the arcane mysteries of the Renaissance Jesi, among streets, alleys and palaces of an old town centre that, at the gates of the 1920s, begins to regurgitate from the underground ancient and important objects from past eras.

Alcuni anni fa abbiamo celebrato i centocinquant'anni dell'unità d'Italia, avvenuta come noto il 17 marzo 1861. Processo avvenuto a termine di quel lungo percorso storico noto col nome di Risorgimento. Tuttavia un primo seme di italianità, e non solo nella denominazione, si ebbe con la nascita, nel 1805 del Regno Italico, stato a sua volta figlio delle repubbliche Cisalpina, Cispadana e altre fiorite a seguito della Rivoluzione francese. Quel ventennio napoleonico portò in Italia gioie e dolori, fu un periodo complesso che tuttavia concorse grandemente, grazie all'affermazione degli ideali rivoluzionari e di fatto grazie all'affermazione tramite la legislazione pubblica voluta da Napoleone, dello stato di diritto.

Raccogliamo in questo omaggio a Nadia Boccara una serie di testi che i colleghi e amici dell’allora Facoltà di Lingue e dell’attuale Dipartimento di Scienze Umanistiche, del Turismo e della Comunicazione hanno fortemente voluto per celebrare gli intensi anni passati insieme e per donare una ennesima dimostrazione di stima, affetto e riconoscenza. Gli articoli qui raccolti sono incentrati non tanto sugli approfondimenti filosofici sui quali Nadia Boccara ha basato buona parte della sua carriera accademica, quanto quelli legati al secondo amore della nostra collega: quello cioè del viaggio e della scrittura di viaggio da intendersi come momento di scoperta dell’altro e del diverso, ma per converso, anche di conoscenza e approfondimento di sé. Storici, letterati, anglisti, francesisti, lusitanisti e quant’altri trovano infatti sul terreno comune delle esperienze di viaggio quel luogo immateriale di incontro e confronto che Nadia Boccara ha sempre frequentato.
Questo libro ricco di fantastiche immagini a colori e in bianco e nero, è il primo di due volumi dedicati al fantastico mondo della cavalleria e al suo esercizio per antonomasia: il torneo o la giostra. Durante tutto il periodo medievale e per buona parte di quello rinascimentale, l’arte del torneare raggiunge il culmine della notorietà e del successo. I cavalieri vi aderiscono con entusiasmo: del resto i valori (e i premi) in gioco sono molto seducenti ed esercitano sui partecipanti un’attrazione magnetica ed irresistibile. È un’epopea ben narrata nei famosi romanzi cavallereschi, come quelli che hanno per protagonisti Ivanhoe, Lancillotto, Re Artù e tutti gli altri cavalieri della tavola rotonda.
