Thoracoscopic resection of benign tumours of the esophagus.
No full textThoracoscopic excision of an esophageal leiomyoma was successfully performed in 5
patients. The tumours were enucleated easily without intraoperative
complications. A patient in whom the muscular layer was not sutured after removal
of the myoma, one year after the operation presented an esophageal
pseudodiverticulum requiring a thoracotomy for resection. This new procedure
which reduces the operative trauma and postoperative pain and allows quick
recovery is described
A 13 kg intra-abdominal mass: a case of mesenteric fibromatosis.
No full textMesenteric fibromatosis is a benign fibrous tumor, characterized by
proliferations of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts, locally aggressive but
non-metastasizing. It can occur rarely in association with familial adenomatous
polyposis or sporadically (related with previous trauma, abdominal surgery or
prolonged estrogens intake). Small bowel mesentery is the most common site of
origin of mesenteric fibromatosis. The authors report a case of a 47-years-old
male with a large mass involving the mesentery of the first jejunal loops. The
patient was symptomatic for nausea and referred an increasing abdominal
circumference; a CT scan showed a huge mass (34 × 29 × 15 cm) very close to the
superior mesenteric vessel roots. The surgical treatment consisted in the en bloc
removal of the mass weighting 13 kg

Abitare il Rinascimento. Il gusto Bardini e la geografia del collezionismo tra Ottocento e Novecento
No full textThis paper will explore the impact of the revival of interest in Renaissance art in 19th and 20th century Italian private museums.
Newly established European governments, such as the French Third Republic (1870) and the German Empire (1871), looked to the accomplishments of Renaissance art and society, and identified that glorious period as a Golden Age and exemplar for their own countries.
In Italy, this renewed interest in the Renaissance style was aligned to the process of unification and the quest for a truly national identity. Art collectors fully embraced this trend. Together with other dealers and collectors, prominent art dealer Stefano Bardini (1836-1922) exerted great influence in the field of collecting in Europe and in the United States. As an innovative promotional strategy Bardini created an inspiring stage set for his inventory of Renaissance decorative arts. Artworks in his Florence showroom were displayed in the manner of an imagined private domestic setting, thus marketing a lifestyle as much as the objects themselves. That strategy was to have significant impact on public and private display strategies in the following decades.
Bardini’s archive helps document a widespread network of dealers, collectors, advisors, museum curators and artisans, revealing the complex and often controversial relationships existing in the art world of his day. His address books, together with an array of other archival material, map the growth and diversification of the art market and of collecting practices in Italy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
