Niccolò Machiavelli e l’Arte della guerra
No full textQuesto capitolo di Andrea Guidi analizza "Il libro dell'arte della guerra" di Niccolò Machiavelli, opera meno nota ma significativa del pensatore fiorentino. Pubblicato nel 1521, il libro esplora l'organizzazione e le tattiche militari, riflettendo sulla necessità di una milizia cittadina anziché mercenaria. Guidi evidenzia come Machiavelli si ispiri ai classici militari antichi, ma applichi le proprie osservazioni sull'esperienza moderna. Attraverso un dialogo tra figure storiche, Machiavelli propone un modello di esercito composto da cittadini e contadini temporaneamente in armi, criticando la pratica dei condottieri mercenari. L'opera mira a fornire ai governanti italiani un nuovo modello di esercito, con una riflessione sulle debolezze dei modelli militari dell'epoca e un'idealizzazione della fanteria romana

Machiavellian otium
No full textE' online dal 10 dicembre 2023 un sito internet/database online sul tema dell'ozio nelle lettere di Niccolò Machiavelli realizzato/curato da una équipe di ricercatori e docenti internazionale, formata da Andrea Guidi, Stefano Saracino, Christian Feichtinger e Judith Frömmer.
Non si tratta di mero ozio letterario, bensì di una concezione di 'otium' in senso molto ampio e con risvolti di una certa importanza per lo sviluppo del pensiero politico machiavelliano e in generale per una visione politica di certe pratiche sociali e culturali

Machiavellian Missions. The Carpi-Correspondance with Francesco Guicciardini
No full textIn early modern Italy letters go viral: Politics and social interaction, artistic inspiration as well as spirituality and philosophy hinge upon ingenious epistolary cultures. Correspondence fashions intellectuals and networks, it constructs thoughts and schemes, it performs politics and arts, reflects existential questions and professional activities. It involves writing, diplomacy, praying, painting, composing, and other artistic forms. While being a vital activity of everyday lives epistolary communication opens up new spaces of thought, meditation and creativity. The articles of this volume examine the epistolary threads spun across early modern Italy in its entanglements of the active and the contemplative lives of their correspondents. They reveal different forms of an epistolary otium which is both an indispensable social activity as well as an essential method of contemplation
OASIS ’21 Chairs’ Welcome
No full textIt is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 2021 Workshop on Open Challenges in Online Social Networks - OASIS 2021, held in conjunction with the 2021 ACM Conference on Hypertext and Social Media - ACM HT 2021. The diffusion of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has had a profound effect on the way we interact and a deep impact on society and business. OSNs have helped people to communicate, breaking down the geographical barriers that restricted communication. Through social networks, virtual communication, sharing of information, community participation is possible even among people in uncomfortable conditions. Today, OSNs are one of the main parts of daily life by affecting sociality, but they are also important channels through which information travels faster than ever. Analysis of OSN can help to foresee events to manage critical scenarios. The rapid growth in popularity has opened new challenging problems which involve numerous fields in computer science. These issues have implications on social graph analysis, trust and security, and so on. Moreover, privacy issues and the usage of mobile devices has opened new research fields in the design of decentralised online social networks, which can be considered one of the most important challenges. Furthermore, the current improvement concerning the study and the proposal of new approaches for Social Networks and Media involve not only complex network analysis, and, in particular, the decentralisation of social services, but also the introduction of new AI solutions
The Florentine archives in transition: government, warfare and communication (1289-1530 ca.)
No full textA turning point in European administrative and documentary practices was traditionally associated, most famously by Robert-Henri Bautier, with the monarchies of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. By summarizing previous research in this field, as well as by using both published and unpublished sources, this article intends to underline an earlier process of transition connected to the development of significant new techniques for the production and preservation of documents in Renaissance Italian city-states. Focusing on the important case of Florence, the administrative uses of records connected to government, diplomacy and military needs will be discussed, and evidence will be provided that such documentary practices accelerated significantly during the so-called Italian Wars (from 1494 onwards). A particular reason of interest for Florence at this time is that a major role in the production and storage of a large quantity of state papers was played by Niccolò Machiavelli, one of the outstanding political thinkers of the age. This was especially true in connection to the new militia which he himself created in 1506. By stressing the role of information management and the importance of correspondence networks at a time of war and crisis, this article also contributes to recent scholarship which has focused on the growth of public records relating to diplomacy in Italy during the second half of the fifteenth century, as well as to a recent field of historiography which has lately gained importance: namely the ‘documentary history of institutions’
Books, People and Military Thought. Machiavelli’s Art of War and the Fortune of the Militia in Sixteenth-Century Europe
No full textHow did the evolution of new gunpowder weapons change the nature, structure and composition of the Florentine militias during the first decades of the sixteenth century? Through an examination of little-known and unpublished sources, this book provides a comparative exploration of two Florentine republican experiments with a peasant militia: one promoted and created by Niccolò Machiavelli (1506–12) and a later one (1527–30). Using this comparison as the basis for a new reading of Machiavelli’s Art of War (which drew on the author's experience with the militia), the book then investigates the relationship between the circulation and reception of Machiavelli’s influential work, changing conceptions of militia, and the formation of new cultures of warfare in Europe in the sixteenth centur
