Il carteggio fra Francesco Brioschi e Quintino Sella 1859-1883
Full text linkThe correspondence between the mathematician Francesco Brioschi (1824-1897) and Quintino Sella (1827-1884) highlights aspects of their political and cultural activity during the period of the unification of Italy. Both played a significant role not only in the ministerial commissions of public education, finance and public works, but also in local and national academies and scientific societies. The letters show their commitment to the organization of education in technical schools, universities and higher education institutions. Noteworthy was their project to create a single large national academy of mathematical, physical and natural sciences and of moral, historical and philological sciences ‒ the Lincei academy – capable of competing with European and world ones, although few scientists belived at the beginning
Il dibattito sul restauro architettonico nel "Politecnico" di Cattaneo e di Brioschi
No full textNella vicenda culturale e politica che si rispecchia nel «Politecnico», negli anni
dalla fondazione di Carlo Cattaneo alla direzione di Francesco Brioschi dal 1866 al
1868, insieme al percorso dell’Italia dal Risorgimento verso l’unità nazionale possiamo
cogliere anche la maturazione del concetto di monumento e insieme di conservazione
delle testimonianze storico-artistiche. La disciplina del restauro passa
infatti dalla visione delle prime teorie ed esperienze operative, orientate a ripristinare
‘il carattere proprio e nativo’ del monumento, da ricondurre a un presunto stato
originario, all’idea di monumento come documento di una storia progressiva,
non più reversibile, che costituisce il prodromo del concetto di ‘restauro filologico’,
il quale troverà un decisivo momento di sintesi nei primi anni Ottanta del secolo
con il pensiero di Camillo Boito.Among the most important periodicals in the nineteenth century, «Il Politecnico»,
as well known, made a decisive contribution to the renewal of the Italian literaryscientific
and technical culture. Right from the first year of publication, it also
showed early attention to the problem of restoration, a discipline born recently, at
the beginning of the XIX century and still in the phase of conceptual definition, as
a specific architectonical activity to make the conservation of monuments to pass
them on to the future. The topic, with no regular frequency, was dealt with in the
pages of the magazine, sometimes as the subject of specific Memories, most often
recognizable in the watermark, indirectly, in the articles on topics related to
history, antiquities and fine arts. In the «Il Politecnico», from Carlo Cattaneo
(1839) to Francesco Brioschi (1866-1868), we can see the path of Italy from the
Risorgimento towards national unity. At the same time, we can know the
evolution of the discipline theory, from the vision of the first operational
theories and experiences, aimed at restoring the ‘proper and native character’
of the monument, to be traced back to an alleged original state, to the idea of a
monument as a document of a progressive history, no longer reversible, which
is the prodrome of the concept of ‘philological restoration’, enunciated a few
years later by Camillo Boito
