A Florentine family in crisis: the Strozzi in the fifteenth century.
No full textPhDIn 1434 the Strozzi lineage had held a leading position in
Florentine society and government for at least one hundred and fifty
years, and was one of the largest and wealthiest of the city's
patrician lineages. The records of the catasto of 1427 and of the
scrutiny of 1433 are used to give a profile of the dominant social,
economic and political position of the Strozzi before the advent of
Medicean dominance. Their record of electoral success, and the
political and cultural leadership of influential and respected men
such as Palla di Nofri and Matteo di Simone, with other factors, put
the Strozzi amongst the greatest enemies of the victorious Medicean
regime of late 1434. The effects of political opposition and exile
on the lineage are examined both directly, through records of office-holding,
and indirectly through such indicators as marriage alliances
and household wealth. The two most prominent lines of the Strozzi
were exiled after 1434. Palla di Nofri's life and preoccupations in
his Paduan exile are examined, together with the lives of his sons;
none of these Strozzi ever returned to Florence, pursued as they were
by the enmity of the Medicean regime. The very different careers of
Filippo di Matteo and his brother Lorenzo are also examined: how they
succeeded in founding a lucrative bank in Naples, and in returning to
Florence to 'rebuild' (rifare) the position of the Strozzi lineage
there. The final decades of the century saw the Strozzi in an
economically more secure position, due substantially to the efforts
of Filippo. Except for a very small number of its members admitted
into the regime, most of the lineage is here shown to have remained
excluded from significant political office until after the fall of
the Medici regime in 1494
Vues présentes sur le celtique cisalpin
No full textPresent views on Cisalpine Celtic.
During the last twenty years, the knowledge of Lepontic and of Italian Gaulish has been notably enriched by very important finds, and also by numerous studies. The author proposes a synthesis of all new linguistical and cultural data provided by epigraphy in this particular resort.Dans les vingt dernières années la connaissance du lépontique et du gaulois d’Italie a été notablement enrichie par certaines trouvailles fort importantes ainsi que par de nombreuses études.

“Candidatus Hafkinia simulans” gen. nov., sp. nov., a Novel Holospora-Like Bacterium from the Macronucleus of the Rare Brackish Water Ciliate Frontonia salmastra (Oligohymenophorea, Ciliophora): Multidisciplinary Characterization of the New Endosymbiont and Its Host
No full textWe characterized a novel Holospora-like bacterium (HLB) (Alphaproteobacteria, Holosporales) living in the macronucleus of
the brackish water ciliate Frontonia salmastra. This bacterium was morphologically and ultrastructurally investigated, and its life
cycle and infection capabilities were described. We also obtained its 16S rRNA gene sequence and performed in situ hybridization experiments with a specifically-designed probe. A new taxon, BCandidatus Hafkinia simulans^, was established for this
HLB. The phylogeny of the family Holosporaceae based on 16S rRNA gene sequences was inferred, adding to the already
available data both the sequence of the novel bacterium and those of other Holospora and HLB species recently characterized.
Our phylogenetic analysis provided molecular support for the monophyly of HLBs and placed the new endosymbiont as the sister
genus ofHolospora. Additionally, the host ciliate F. salmastra, recorded in Europe for the first time, was concurrently described
through a multidisciplinary study. Frontonia salmastra’s phylogenetic position in the subclass Peniculia and the genus Frontonia
was assessed according to 18S rRNA gene sequencing. Comments on the biodiversity of this genus were added according to past
and recent literature
"Candidatus Megaira polyxenophila" gen. nov., sp. nov.: Considerations on Evolutionary History, Host Range and Shift of Early Divergent Rickettsiae
No full text‘‘Neglected Rickettsiaceae’’ (i.e. those harboured by non-hematophagous eukaryotic hosts) display greater phylogenetic
variability and more widespread dispersal than pathogenic ones; yet, the knowledge about their actual host range and host
shift mechanism is scarce. The present work reports the characterization following the full-cycle rRNA approach (SSU rRNA
sequence, specific in situ hybridization, and ultrastructure) of a novel rickettsial bacterium, herewith proposed as
’Candidatus Megaira polyxenophila’ gen. nov., sp. nov. We found it in association with four different free-living ciliates
(Diophrys oligothrix, Euplotes octocarinatus, Paramecium caudatum, and Spirostomum sp., all belonging to Alveolata,
Ciliophora); furthermore it was recently observed as intracellular occurring in Carteria cerasiformis and Pleodorina japonica
(Chlorophyceae, Chlorophyta). Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated the belonging of the candidate new genus to the
family Rickettsiaceae (Alphaproteobacteria, Rickettsiales) as a sister group of the genus Rickettsia. In situ observations revealed
the ability of the candidate new species to colonize either nuclear or cytoplasmic compartments, depending on the host
organism. The presence of the same bacterial species within different, evolutionary distant, hosts indicates that ’Candidatus
Megaira polyxenophila’ recently underwent several distinct host shifts, thus suggesting the existence of horizontal
transmission pathways. We consider these findings as indicative of an unexpected spread of rickettsial infections in aquatic
communities, possibly by means of trophic interactions, and hence propose a new interpretation of the origin and
phylogenetic diversification of rickettsial bacteria

ITALIANO. Una piccola sequenza da un episodio della serie televisiva Mad Men in cui la relazione sensoriale emozionale tra lo spettatore e un corpo in movimento, precisamente un corpo danzante, è l’oggetto di questo articolo, che intende così verificare la cosiddetta naturalizzazione della fenomenologia e del corpo vissuto operata dalle scienze cognitive applicate agli studi visuali. L’autore mostra anche i rapporti tra la cosiddetta simulazione incarnata e una memoria simbolica e iconografica profonda, e discute in particolare la polarità tra proiezione e introiezione, attività e passività nell’esperienza empatica delle immagini in movimento.A short filmic example from the AMC's award-winning series Mad Men in which the sensorial and emotional relationship between the spectator and a moving body, i.e., a dancing body, is explicitly put into play. The essay wants to deal with the so called naturalization of phenomenology and of the living body, trained by the cognitive sciences reading the visuality. The author shows the relationship between the so called ‘embodied Simulation’ and a symbolic and iconographic deep memory of the pictures, and he gives an in-depth attention to the polarity between projections and introjections, activity and passivity of the spectator’s body during the empathic experience of the moving pictures
Multiple political geographies
No full textThis chapter delves into the multifaceted realm of political geography within the context of the journal Political Geography. The author, who has held various editorial positions within the journal, navigates the intricate terrain of diversity and inclusion, exploring the challenges posed by linguistic and cultural biases inherent in academic publishing. The chapter critically examines efforts to mitigate barriers and broaden the scope of political geography, questioning the adequacy of current approaches. Through a reflective analysis, the author elucidates the complex dynamics of political geography as a subdiscipline, shedding light on both the impediments and possibilities it offers to researchers and students
