Fonti economiche e demografiche inedite per lo studio del territorio: Messina e le circoscrizioni parrocchiali nel Settecento
No full textI censimenti ordinati dalla Deputazione del Regno per conteggiare le anime e i beni presenti nell’Isola sono la fonte principale di questa ricerca, integrata da altri documenti reperiti tra i registri parrocchiali, all’Archivio di Stato di Messina, all’Archivio Arcivescovile e Archimandritale della stessa diocesi e all’Archivio Segreto Vaticano.
La tornata dei riveli presa in esame si riferisce agli anni 1748-1758, durante i quali furono registrati dagli incaricati governativi i nuclei familiari e le relative proprietà secondo una triplice casistica: laici, religiosi e nullatenenti. Escludendo l’ultimo gruppo, ci si è dedicati all’esame dei primi due. Ne è emersa una morfologia urbana scandita dalla suddivisione in parrocchie, strutture territoriali con precisi confini, dotate di funzioni importanti per il controllo della popolazione non solo a livello morale e religioso ma anche demografico e fiscale tramite i censimenti che sia i parroci sia l’amministrazione civile erano tenuti a redigere per motivi diversi.
Grazie alla registrazione delle notizie sui proprietari, sui beni stabili urbani e rusticani, sugli affittuari, fornite dai riveli, sono state individuate le dieci circoscrizioni parrocchiali che costituivano l’ossatura del territorio. Ad esse si aggiungeva una parrocchia ad personas, San Nicolò dei Greci, cui facevano riferimento tutti i praticanti del culto cattolico-orientale presenti in città.
Secondo la delimitazione settecentesca desunta dai riveli sono state predisposte schede sintetiche relative a tutti gli edifici pubblici, sacri e civili ubicati in ogni circoscrizione. I confini dei territori parrocchiali che sono stati delineati rimasero inalterati fino al 1783, anno in cui il terremoto produsse ingenti danni, distruggendo o rendendo inagibili le sedi di molte parrocchie. I rispettivi titoli furono, quasi sempre, trasferiti presso altre chiese a volte situate in zone diverse della città. Conseguentemente variarono i confini delle circoscrizioni parrocchiali. Ulteriori grandi cambiamenti si verificarono dopo il sisma del 1908.
Le analisi puntuali dei riveli hanno permesso di individuare, inoltre, diverse tipologie edilizie accompagnate dal valore economico espresso in onze.
Le zone extra moenia o limitrofe alle mura erano caratterizzate da semplici costruzioni, sovente ad un solo piano, realizzate con materiali modesti.
Spesso circondate da piccoli orti avevano un basso valore immobiliare, in genere non superiore alle cinquanta onze, ed erano abitate dal popolo.
Le aree interne alla cinta difensiva erano impreziosite, specialmente nelle zone contigue al fulcro di piazza duomo, da palazzi nobiliari eleganti e dotati di grandi spazi. Il capitale di queste abitazioni riservate esclusivamente al ceto agiato e alla classe dirigente superava sempre le duecento onze, con parecchi casi di vera eccellenza, che oltrepassavano le quattrocento onze. Si trattava di immobili pregevoli, rifiniti con cura dal punto di vista architettonico e ubicati prevalentemente o sulla marina, lungo il teatro marittimo, o nelle zone limitrofe al piano della Matrice ma anche nei pressi del Palazzo Reale, lungo la Magistra Ruga, e sulle strade Austria, Cardines, dei Porzi, dei Librai e intorno all’ Annunziata dei Teatini.
Grazie ai riveli è stata documentata la presenza di numerosi casini di campagna disseminati nei borghi. In alcuni esempi si trattava di vere e proprie ville di delizia, ampie, circondate da vasti appezzamenti di terreno con svariate colture, che hanno consentito di delineare il paesaggio agricolo dell’hinterland.
Anche all’interno della città, l’analisi dei beni censiti ha permesso di individuare molteplici botteghe dove si esercitavano vari mestieri. La numerazione di anime e beni ha altresì messo in luce la presenza di diversi fondaci, ubicati in zone strategiche della città, accompagnati a volte da posade, ossia ostelli per un’accoglienza più confortevole dei viaggiatori. Una spiccata tendenza dei ceti più facoltosi ad investire nel mercato immobiliare sia dentro che fuori le mura è segnalata dai riveli che documentano, senza ombra di dubbio, la concentrazione del patrimonio edilizio sia in città che in campagna nelle mani delle classi agiate.
Nel complesso l’esame puntuale di questa fonte documentale, ha consentito di tracciare un veritiero affresco della città e del suburbio a metà del Settecento e di consegnarci la memoria di una città cancellata da due catastrofici terremoti ( 1783 e 1908).The censuses demanded by the Deputation of Kingdom to count souls and properties on the Island are the main source of this research, integrated by other documents found in parishes’ Archives, in the State Archives of Messina, in the Archiepiscopal and Archimandrite Archives of the same diocese and in the Vatican Secret Archives. We’ll go through a round of “Riveli” concerning the years 1748-1758, during which, government officials recorded families and their properties, following three case studies: the laity, the religious and the poor. Excluding the last group for obvious reasons, we’ll go through the first two. This study shows the presence of urban morphology marked by division into parishes, local structures with clear boundaries, with important functions, through the figures of curates engaged in population control, not only for moral and religious aspects but also for demographic and fiscal audits, through censuses that both priests and civil administration had to write for different reasons.
The ten parish districts, that made up the structure of the territory, have been identified by recording news on the owners, on urban and rustic stable properties and on tenants, all provided by the “Riveli”. In addition to those, there was an “ad personas” parish, St. Nicholas of the Greeks, all practitioners of the Roman- Eastern Catholic worship in the city, referred to. Following the results of the eighteenth century’s documents, gathered from “riveli”, summary files have been prepared, for all the public, sacred and civil buildings, located in each district. The boundaries of the parish territories which have been outlined, remained unchanged until 1783, when the earthquake produced extensive damages, destroying or making uninhabitable many parishes. The respective titles were almost always transferred to other churches, sometimes located in different areas of the city. Therefore, the boundaries of the parish territories changed. Further big changes occurred after the earthquake of 1908. Accurate analysis of “riveli” allowed to identify different types of buildings accompanied by economic value, expressed in ounces. The areas adjacent to walls or extra moenia were characterized by simple constructions, often on one floor, made of modest materials. Often surrounded by small gardens, these simple houses had a low value, usually not more than fifty ounces and were inhabited by the poor people. The zones inside the defensive walls were embellished, especially in areas adjacent to the Piazza Duomo, by elegant palaces with large spaces. The value of these dwellings, intended solely for the wealthy class and the ruling class, always exceeded the two hundred ounces, with several cases of true excellence, which exceeded four hundred ounces. These houses were valuable property, finished with care by the architectural point of view and mainly located on the marina or along the maritime theater, or in areas adjacent to the plane of the “Matrice”, but also near the Royal Palace, along the Ruga Magistra, and in the streets Austria, Cardines, dei Porzi, dei Librai and around the SS. Annunziata of Theatines.
Through the “Riveli”, it has been documented that there were several cottages scattered throughout the countryside villages. In some cases, there were real spacious, enchanting villas, surrounded by vast areas of land with different crops, which have helped to shape the hinterland agricultural landscape Even within the city, the analysis of properties allowed the identification of many artisanal shops where they practiced various trades. The census of souls and properties has also revealed the presence of several stores located in strategic areas of the city, sometimes accompanied by Posadas, which were most comfortable hostels for travelers. A marked tendency of the more wealthy to invest in real estate inside and outside the walls, indicated by the “riveli”, shows that, without a doubt, the concentration of buildings in the city and countryside was in the hands of leisured classes. Overall, the detailed examination of these documents, has allowed to draw a true fresco of the city and its suburbs in the mid eighteenth century and to deliver the memory of a city destroyed by two catastrophic earthquakes (1783 and 1908)

Un “dittico” sul tempo di Guiraut Riquier
No full textThis article offers the new editions of two Occitan poems by the troubadour Guiraut Riquier, Ab plazen (BEdT 248.3) and Ad un fin aman fon datz (BEdT 248.4), composed in 1257 and 1263 respectively. Both are transmitted only by chansonnier C. In the first poem, Giraut subverts the classical genre of the alba, in which the lyric first person usually describes the separation of the lovers at the end of the night; in Ab plazen, a lonely lover eagerly awaits dawn while spending the night alone and tormented by desire. The second poem is a unique example of a serena, a lyric with narrative elements, describing a lover who spends the
day waiting for the evening, when he will meet the domna. Beyond a formal interpretation of these texts (examining the subversion of a genre and the invention of another respectively), Cigni’s analysis focuses on their representation of subjectivity and time
Il punto sui leggendari francoitaliani della fine del sec. XIII: nuove ricerche e osservazioni
No full textAt the end of the thirteenth century, the textual production in the area encompassing Liguria and Pisa was predominantly focused on hagiographic texts. this well-established argument is firmly supported by the localization of
specific manuscripts of the Latin text of the Legenda aurea, such as the one labeled “C” in the Maggioni edition, along with the texts found in the three Franco-Italian hagiographic collections (commonly known as tours, Modena, and Lyon), whose transmission closely intersects with that of the Legenda aurea. this contribution assesses recent research related to the mentioned manuscripts, with a specific focus on the methods of translation and compilation employed in the tours, Modena, and Lyon. Furthermore, the appendix offers an in-depth analysis and edition of the legend of the Seven Sleepers based on the tours manuscript
Il romanzo in prosa tra Francia e Italia: stato della questione e nuovi percorsi di lavoro : Il Roman de Tristan in prosa e l'Italia : questioni aperte

Tagliani's contribution, about 'Il roman de Tristan in prosa e l'Italia: questioni aperte', is at pp. 231-236, and focuses critical problems related to the reception of the Arthurian romances in Old French prose in Italy in the fourteenth century, from the point of view of literary history, philology, linguistics and codicological philology
Relationship between hard tissue surgery and the effects on the overlying soft tissues after bimaxillary orthognathic surgery of class III malocclusions
No full textAim: The purpose of this study is to assess cephalometrically the hard and soft tissue response of skeletal Class III patients treated by bimaxillary orthognathic surgery, and to evaluate the correlation between the two. Materials and Method: Twenty-one patients, 8 men and 13 women, aged 18 to 35 years, had undergone two-jaw orthognathic surgery with maxillary Le Fort I advancement osteotomy and mandibular setback osteotomy, either bilateral sagittal split or vertical ramus osteotomy; with no additional surgical procedures on the mid-face or chin.
Results and Conclusions: After the bimaxillary surgery was underlined a strong correlation in the horizontal and vertical direction between all the selected landmarks of the lower lip and chin, but only between superior labial sulcus and point A in the upper lip in the horizontal direction. The relationship between hard tissue surgery and the effect which it has on the overlying soft tissue is extremely important in predicting final facial profile and esthetical changes. Treatment planning for patient who require orthognathic surgery should include both a hard tissue and soft tissue cephalometric analysis. Although the hard tissue analysis will show the nature of the existing skeletal discrepancy, it is incomplete in providing information concerning the facial form and proportions of the patient. Patients may appear either more or less convex in their profiles than is indicated by their hard tissues because of differences in thickness of soft tissue, particularly at the junction of nose and upper lip and in the region of the chi
Role of the chin prominence on perceived attractiveness and desire for face surgery
No full textAim: The purpose of this investigation is to describe a potentially useful analysis in assessing the requiredextent of sagittal chin augmentation or set-back, by relating chin prominence to lower lip position usingthe ‘lower lip-chin prominence angle’. The secondary aim was to quantitatively evaluate the influence ofthis angle on perceived attractiveness and desire for surgery.
Materials and method: Having described this angular analysis, a quantitative evaluation was undertaken by incrementally altering the angle on an idealised profile image to create a range of images that were rated on a 7-point Likert scale by a pre-selected group of pre-treatment orthognathic patients, clinicians and laypeople. In treatment planning alterations in chin prominence, an ‘ideal’ sagittal position with soft tissue pogonion on or just behind a true vertical line through the most prominent point of the lower lip may be used.
Results and conclusions: Chin retrusion or prominence up to an angle of 15 retrusion to 5 prominence is deemed acceptable. Surgery is desired from chin prominence of greater than 15 and retrusions greater than 25. The greater the retrusion or prominence of the chin from an angle of 0, the less the perceived attractiveness and the greater the desire for surgical correction
