Nuova opera. Edizione critica e annotata
Get PDFIl fiorentino Giovanni Cavalcanti (1381-1451 ca.), membro di un ramo decaduto della famiglia, ebbe una vita segnata dal carcere per debiti. Il desiderio di giustizia e rivalsa informa i suoi scritti. La Nuova opera è un testo eterogeneo: punteggiato da novelle e aneddoti, fra cronaca storica e satira morale, narra e commenta gli eventi che coinvolsero Firenze negli anni 1440-1447. Memore di Dante, letto con profitto da Machiavelli, l’autore denuncia le cruente opposizioni tra fazioni e la degenerazione nei vizi della città, nonché la violenza e la tendenza alla tirannide dilaganti nella penisola, con punte polemiche verso Filippo Maria Visconti, Francesco Sforza, Cosimo de’ Medici. La nuova edizione critica e annotata guida i lettori attraverso la densa e vivace scrittura cavalcantiana
Medioevo feroce. Le storie e il mito di Ezzelino
Get PDFIl volume analizza le vivaci cronache della Marca Trevigiana, con particolare attenzione al ruolo giocato in esse dalla figura di Ezzelino da Romano. In primo piano, le strutture letterarie nella scrittura storica medievale che hanno contribuito alla creazione di una tappa fondamentale per le origini della letteratura italiana. I testi dei cronisti affrontati non solo evidenziano quanto Ezzelino abbia ricoperto una posizione storica di rilievo assoluto, ma anche come una straordinaria stagione storiografica, intrecciata a originali procedure narrative, abbia concorso a delinearlo come feroce e astuto tiranno. L’ultima parte del volume si concentra sul mito di Ezzelino e sulla possibile ricezione delle cronache nella Commedia dantesca e in altri testi successivi, fino a Machiavelli
Episcopal authority and networks in Carolingian times: recent approaches and perspectives
Get PDFThis paper introduces the volume, aiming first of all at presenting the historiographical framework in which the collected essays are placed and the common questions around which they revolve, with particular regard to typologies, characteristics, extension of the social and cultural
networks that the Italian bishops built around themselves, and to their effects on the integration of the regnum in the Carolingian political structures
The Imperial Image of Theoderic: the Case of the Regisole of Pavia
Get PDFThe contribution intends to retrace the history of Pavia’s famous equestrian statue, known as the “Regisole”, destroyed in 1796. The statue, in gilded bronze, represented a Roman emperor and was transferred from Rome to Ravenna, most likely by Theoderic. At a certain point, probably between the eighth and tenth centuries, the Regisole arrived in Pavia, even if it is difficult to establish who was responsible for that. The most logical solution is to attribute the transfer of the monument to a Lombard king, specifically to Aistulf, who conquered Ravenna in 751. It
is possible to argue that by transferring the Regisole – which was believed to represent Theoderic – to the capital of the Lombard kingdom, Aistulf intended to promote an imperial image of himself, at a time when the virtual conquest of the whole of Italy raised him to the rank of “new Theoderic”
The Revival of Cassiodorus’ Variae in the High Middle Ages (10th -11th Century)
Get PDFThis paper is based on a number of reuses of Cassiodorus’ Variae that have been found in notarial documents written in Rome and Lazio between the tenth and eleventh century. Given that the manuscript tradition of the Variae becomes visible only from the twelfth-thirteenth centuries onwards, these reuses are a good starting point to reflect on a specific question: what were the practical and contingent motivations that, in Lazio, stimulated the intellectual elites to research and reuse the Variae? By following an alternative path to that of the manuscript evidence, it is thus possible better to identify the contexts of preservation, circulation, and practical use of the Variae underlying the more evident late medieval revival
A fragmentary story: episcopal culture in Milan during Lothar I’s reign?
Get PDFDealing with episcopal culture in Milan during Lothar I’s age (822-855), that is the age of Archbishop Angilbert II (824-859), is a difficult task, because of the lack of sources and uncertain origin of many extant manuscripts. As a matter of fact, Angilbert II shared a common cultural
background with his transalpine colleagues, but he had to face the loss of the schools in Milan and to rebuild a cultural system which could also improve the political role of his see to the detriment of Pavia. This paper analyses some main features of his cultural policy: the activity
of masters accustomed to the new ideas of Carolingian schools, in particular the role played by Hildemar and his library in Civate; the renewal of St. Ambrose’s cult and Angilbert’s iconographical choices on the golden altar of Sant’Ambrogio, in connection with literary activity in
Milan (as for the case of bishop Mansuetus’ letter copied in Montpellier, Bibliothèque Interuniversitaire, Faculté de medicine, H 233)
