Pietro Verri’s Contribution to the Economic Theory of the 18th Century: Commercial Society, Civil Society and Governance of the Economy
No full text'Count Pietro Verri (1728-97) - Schumpeter writes (History, p. 178) - - would have to be included in any list of the greatest economists'. Within the Milanese school, he certainly stands out, alongside with Cesare Beccaria, during one of the most interesting periods from a history of analysis point of view. Luigi Cossa's famous introduction to the study of political economy rates Pietro Verri to be inferior to Beccaria in ingenuity and scientific cultivation, but greatly to be ahead of him as an economist.1 This judgement by Cossa, in particular, seems to echo the relative position of the two men in the history of ideas, particularly after Beccaria's rise to fame with a book - On crimes and punishments - which had in fact been largely inspired by Verri himself and defended by him.2 It is proposed in the present paper to revisit some of the basic tenets of Pietro Verri's political economy, with more in view than dwell on specific intuitions and theorems: namely relate those to Verri's own - quite original - conception of the economy. The scholarly work of Pietro Verri - with a special reference to his Meditazioni sulla economia politica of 1771 - provides the first systematic contribution stemming from the quarters of Lombard enlightenment in the field of political economy, especially so if one considers that Cesare Beccaria's parallel work - namely his Elementi di economia pubblica, conceived and drafted at the same time as Verri's Meditazioni - would only be published posthumously several years later. From the vantage point afforded by Verri's political economy, we gain a considerably attractive view of the most significant elements and characteristic concepts of Lombard enlightenment during the latter half of the 18th century; Verri, moreover, as we shall see, builds on a number of them in a new and original way. This paper is aimed at discussing Verri's political economy mainly along two distinct, but related, lines. In the first place the conception of commercial society is considered such as it is treated by the author particularly in his Meditazioni. In this perspective the analysis of such issues as competition and the market or money and taxation occupy a central place. Secondly it will be necessary to emphasise that Verri's approach has little to do either with forms of pure economics on one side - largely yet to be born throughout the 18th century - or, on the other side, with such conceptions of the polis - contrariwise well alive among his own contemporaries - as are founded on a sovereign authority conceived to be situated above the law. What Verri's political economy ultimately amounts to is an economic conception of civil society. The latter has natural strong connections with his own fact-mindedness - emphasised by Schumpeter - as well as with his deep practical involvement in administrative affairs and in the reforming process taking place during the latter half of the 18th century in Milan. In our view, a thorough investigation along the mentioned lines is the precondition for an understanding of the intellectual stature and of the scholarly contribution of Pietro Verri. His main ground is distinctly analytical and only by appreciating his analysis is it possible to shed light on the meaning and intellectual significance also of his practical contributions. Moreover Verri's pronouncements on the criticism of despotic government, the relevance of intermediate powers or bodies and on multiple levels of governance will be examined in a new and original light, showing how close they are to the gist of his analysis.
Da Pietro Ellero a Enrico Ferri: la genesi della penalistica sociale: Articolo sottoposto a procedimento di peer-review
No full textThis article treats the genesis of the penalistica sociale that emerged in the last two decades of the nineteenth century, which was a movement of jurists who showed great sensitivity to the social dimension of law and who attributed a decisive role to social factors in the generation of crime. The first part of the article will focus on the definition of penalistica sociale and the overcoming of the label ‘legal socialism’; then the different contributions made to penalistica sociale by Pietro Ellero and Enrico Ferri will be examined. The two authors can be considered the precursors of penalistica sociale.L’articolo tratta la genesi della penalistica sociale che si afferma nell’ultimo ventennio del XIX secolo, ovvero un movimento di giuristi che mostra grande sensibilità per la dimensione sociale del diritto e attribuisce un ruolo decisivo ai fattori sociali nella generazione dei crimini. Una prima parte dell’articolo si concentrerà sulla definizione della penalistica sociale e sul superamento dell’etichetta socialismo giuridico; successivamente verranno considerati i diversi contributi apportati alla penalistica sociale da Pietro Ellero e da Enrico Ferri. I due autori possono essere considerati i precursori della penalistica sociale

UTUC in 2017: Emerging evidence on treating upper tract urothelial cancer
No full textMajor advances in the management of all stages of upper tract urothelial carcinoma have been made in 2017. Radical nephroureterectomy can be valuable in patients with metastatic disease and adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy can improve outcomes in those with advanced disease. Kidney-sparing surgery with early follow-up ureterorenoscopy has shown benefit in patients with low-grade tumours. Avoiding unnecessary ureterorenoscopy might decrease intravesical tumour recurrence

PIETRO IL GRANDE TRA REPUBBLICA E REGNO D’ITALIA: EPICA E SATIRA ALL’OMBRA DEL BARDO MONTIANO
No full textIl saggio analizza la fortuna letteraria del mito di Pietro il Grande nell’Italia tra fine Settecento e primo Ottocento, mettendo in relazione produzione poetica, contesto politico e dinamiche diplomatiche. Attraverso due casi di studio – il poema epico "Pietro il Grande" di Girolamo Murari Dalla Corte e il poemetto satirico allora rimasto inedito "La frusta di Pietro il Grande" di Luigi Cerretti – il saggio mostra come la figura dello zar venga di volta in volta piegata a esigenze encomiastiche, polemiche o attualizzanti. Il contributo evidenzia l’intreccio tra letteratura e diplomazia culturale nel periodo napoleonico, soffermandosi sul confronto implicito con il modello montiano del "Bardo della Selva nera"
