Francesco Negri and Nordic Medicine
No full textIn the seventeenth century – a period marked by significant explorations and scientific advancements – the priest Francesco Negri from Ravenna embarked alone on a journey to Scandinavia, motivated by a desire to document its curiosities. Driven by a pronounced scientific spirit, the Italian priest observed not only the natural phenomena of the Nordic regions, but also the customs and practices of the local populations. He later recorded his reflections in the Viaggio Settentrionale, a travel account published posthumously. The objective of this study is to conduct a thematic and comparative analysis of Negri’s work, with the aim of elucidating the function of medical observations and descriptions within the broader narrative framework. At the same time, the analysis seeks to position these accounts in relation to the prevailing medical theories of the Seventeenth century, highlighting potential convergences, divergences, or original reinterpretations.Nel Seicento delle grandi esplorazioni e scoperte scientifiche, il sacerdote ravennate Francesco Negri partì da solo alla volta della Scandinavia, mosso dal desiderio di documentarne le curiosità. Animato da un forte spirito scientifico, il prete italiano osservò non solo i fenomeni naturali nordici, ma anche gli usi e i costumi delle popolazioni locali, annotando poi i propri pensieri nel Viaggio Settentrionale, resoconto pubblicato postumo. Obiettivo del presente studio è un’analisi tematica comparativa delle osservazioni e descrizioni a carattere medico presenti nell’opera negriana, per scoprire il loro ruolo all’interno della narrazione e, al contempo, per metterle a confronto con il pensiero medico seicentesco e con opere coeve, evidenziando eventuali consonanze, divergenze o rielaborazioni originali
Francesco Negri zwischen konfessionellen und geographischen Grenzen
Full text linkFrancesco Negri is a representative of Italian Reform Humanism. Due to his work as a teacher, who was required to follow the Humanist education program, Negri was in contact with conformists and nonconformists throughout his lifetime. As the confessional lines were being drawn, this led to intense debate in Chiavenna. Yet his communication network and personal confession prove that Negri cannot be considered a proponent of nonconformism

Il viaggio settentrionale di Francesco Negri
No full textNé en 1623, Francesco Negri est considéré comme le premier touriste à avoir atteint le Cap Nord motivé par une pure soif de connaissance. Il s’aventura jusque dans ces régions âpres à une époque où la mode considérait que l’exotique se trouvait en Extrême-Orient ou dans le Nouveau Monde et que les peuples méditerranéens étaient le centre de la culture, aux dépens des peuples nordiques, qui ne devaient être redécouverts que pendant la période romantique. Grâce à la valeur scientifique de son compte rendu il acquit une renommée internationale et son témoignage permit en partie de fonder le mythe des peuples nordiques. Le présent article présente ce voyage en relation avec la culture scientiste du siècle, puis avec quelques textes scientifiques qui avaient parlé de la zone arctique, et enfin avec la relation d’un voyage presque contemporain, celui du Français Jean-François Regnard
A thematic comparison of an ethnographic type between the Viaggio Settentrionale by Francesco Negri and Relazione del Regno di Svezia del 1674 by Lorenzo Magalotti
No full textQuesto studio si propone di fare un raffronto tematico di tipo etnografico tra due opere odeporiche del Seicento: Viaggio Settentrionale di Francesco Negri e Relazione del Regno di Svezia del 1674 di Lorenzo Magalotti. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è duplice: il primo è chiarire come si possa postulare un’influenza del testo di Francesco Negri su quello di Lorenzo Magalotti, il secondo è verificare che le informazioni etnografiche riportate dai due viaggiatori italiani siano attendibili sulla base di studi scientifici moderni sulla Svezia del Seicento.This study aims to make a thematic comparison of an ethnographic type between two works from the 17th Century: Viaggio Settentrionale by Francesco Negri and Relazione del Regno di Svezia del 1674 by Lorenzo Magalotti. The purpose of this research is twofold: the first is to clarify how one can postulate an influence of the text of Francesco Negri on that of Lorenzo Magalotti, the second is to verify that the ethnographic information reported by the two Italian travellers is reliable based on modern scientific studies on 17th century Sweden.
Le premier Italien au cap Nord : le père Francesco Negri (1663-1666)
No full textFrancesco Negri, a priest from the town of Ravenna, was the first Italian traveller to reach the North Pole in 1666. His travel stories, “Viaggio Settentrionale”, were very innovative considering the period in which he wrote them and especially considering the type of travel he wrote about. Francesco Negri was the only traveller who had stayed in Nordic countries for a period of three years, travelling the length and breadth of the interior regions, as well as the coast and making contact with Laplanders whose culture charmed the Italian priest, as he was already passionate and curious about the diversity of the world. Composed of eight letters, his travel writing describes Lapland and the customs of its inhabitants, with several illustrations and many quotations taken from classical Latin authors, as well as from Nordic writers who were contemporaries of Negri. These quotes testify to the thoroughness of the research carried out by the priest, both when he was already on site (where he learned several facts about the local culture through Norwegian priests who gave him accommodation) and after he returned to Italy
Suoni e strumenti dei Sami nel Viaggio settentrionale di Francesco Negri (1663-1666) e nell'immaginario musicale seicentesco
Full text linkEnBetween 1663 and 1666, priest Francesco Negri from Ravenna widely explored the Scandinavian peninsula, for the first time reaching the North Cape from continental Europe. The goal of the trip was political and religious: the priest had probably been sent secretly to Stockholm by the French Embassy to lead a religious mission in a country considered a bulwark of Lutheranism, interrogating Catholics and bringing their confessions to Tridentine Europe. The report was written according to the perspective of Seventeenth-century natural philosophy, which can be clearly noticed through the attention paid by the author towards the sounds of the animals and the natural world. But above all, it is the part devoted to the Sami people which testifies the spread through Seventeenth-century continental Europe of the iconographic model of the typical Sami musical instrument, the drum for shamanic rituals, which is carefully described and illustrated in the text.ItTra il 1663 e il 1666 il sacerdote Francesco Negri di Ravenna compie una vasta esplorazione della penisola scandinava raggiungendo per la prima volta Capo Nord dall’Europa continentale. L’intento sotteso al viaggio è probabilmente politico-religioso: il sacerdote pare fosse stato inviato a Stoccolma in segreto dall’ambasciata francese per condurre una missione religiosa in un paese ritenuto baluardo del luteranesimo, al fine di interrogare i cattolici e portarne le confessioni nell’Europa tridentina. La prospettiva del resoconto è debitrice della filosofia naturale secentesca: essa emerge nell’attenzione dell'Autore verso le sonorità legate al mondo naturale e al mondo animale. Ma è soprattutto la parte dedicata ai Sami che testimonia la diffusione nell'Europa continentale secentesca di un modello iconografico legato allo strumento musicale tipico sami, il tamburoper i rituali sciamanici, che viene ampiamente descritto nel testo con il corredo di diverse tavole disegnate
Refining a vernacular idiom and the endless “questione meridionale”. A focus on Francesco Negri Arnoldi’s critical approach to Southern Italian Cinquecento Sculpture
Full text linkFrancesco Negri Arnoldi’s position undoubtedly played a fundamental
role in combating a hierarchical approach both to works of art and to Art
History. Not only by redeeming some categories of works of art from an
ancillary or secondary dimension for the major arts such as within the
vast range of possibilities offered by sculpture, but, above all by re-tracing a geography of the development of artistic craftsmanship, in Southern
areas of the Italian peninsula. In his book Scultura del Cinquecento in Italia
meridionale (Sixteenth-century Sculpture in Southern Italy), (Napoli,
1996), Francesco Negri Arnoldi directed his gaze towards phenomena
interpreted as being vernacular translations of more noble languages,
claiming, a unique identity for the former. He did this not necessarily in conflict with, but rather as a reaction to a cultural approach
that was heavily influenced by the ‘stigma’ of the ‘Vasarian’ geographical
division of the peninsula into ‘centers and peripheries’ (as well as a biographical approach to central and peripheral artists)
