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.
The DistributionofGastrointestinal WormonEttawaCross-Bred Goatat Kapal Village,Badung District,Bali Regency
No full textOne of obstacles raising goats at farmer level is nematode (worm) causing gastrointestinal disease. Infection by gastrointestinal worms in goats can have an impact in decreased body weight, anemia, diarrhea, and decreased productivity, which in turn can cause economic loss to farmers.The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and to identify types of nematode (worms) in the digestive tract of goats in the village of Kapal Mengwi, Badung District, Bali Regency. This study used stool samples of 25 head male goats at the age of 11 months. The sample was inserted into a plastic bag that contained 10% formalin solution. The samples were assayed using flotation concentration. Identification of egg based on morphology and the data obtained were analyzed descriptively. The results showed that 4 of 25 samples were positively infected by nematode (worm) with a prevalence of 16%. Based on egg morphology, it identified as Cooperia sp 4%, worm Trichostrongylus sp 4%, Ostertagia sp 8%, and the other samples were negative. At this stage, gastrointestinal worm infections are in the stage of mild infection

No full textArtykuł poświęcony jest porównaniu dwóch książek Simonetty Agnello Hornby
ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem tematyki migracyjnej, którą autorka, urodzona
w 1945 roku we Włoszech, a od 1972 roku mieszkająca na stałe w Wielkiej Brytanii,
poruszała także w innych utworach. La mia Londra to autobiograficzny przewodnik
po Londynie, w którym Hornby opisała na własnym przykładzie przebieg
procesu adaptacji do życia w kulturze innej niż rodzima. Spędziła w tym mieście
prawie pół wieku, z perspektywy czasu zwracając uwagę na zmiany, jakie zaszły
m.in. w strukturze społecznej, relacji z imigrantami, stylu życia londyńczyków.
Główną bohaterką opowieści dla dzieci Rosie e gli scoiattoli di St. James jest Rosalia

i Jamajki Brendy), która w dzień referendum dotyczącego pozostania Wielkiej Brytanii
w Unii Europejskiej staje się świadkiem obrad parlamentu zwierząt w parku
królewskim, a także walk jego mieszkańców: przybyszów i autochtonów. Ich poglądy,
zachowania i decyzje pozwalają Rosie zetknąć się z problemami, ale i potencjałem,
jakie niosą ze sobą procesy akulturacji, adaptacji kulturowej, a nawet – asymilacji.

Giuseppe Petrosellinis und Domenico Cimarosas L'italiana in Londra am römischen Teatro Valle – Die Einflüsse auf die Entstehung des intermezzo in musica à cinque voci im römischen Umfeld
No full textZusammenfassung
Das für Rom entstandene Intermezzo L’italiana in Londra war 1778 verschiedener lokaler und ideeller Autorität unterworfen: Der Komponist stammte aus Neapel, Vatikan und Teatro Valle befahlen dem Stück in Form von Regeln ihre eigenen Vorstellungen an, das Libretto basierte auf einem französischen Vorbild, das leidenschaftliche, anspruchsvolle und vielfältige Publikum erwartete ein witziges und gleichzeitig künstlerisch hochwertiges Stück und das Auftreten der Akteure war zwischen den Polen von Ernsthaftigkeit und Komik sowie besonderem schauspielerischem und sängerischem Können angesiedelt. Durch die Beachtung der divergierenden Bedürfnisse und Gewohnheiten von Seiten Cimarosas und Petrosellinis entstand ein an die spezifischen römischen Verhältnisse angepasstes und weithin sichtbar diesem Ort zuzuordnendes Stück, in welchem auch scheinbar unvereinbare Neigungen wie eine Identifikation mit Neapel und gleichzeitige Angriffe auf dieselbe Stadt nebeneinander bestanden

La fantasia e il disinganno. Gaetano Polidori dalla Toscana a Londra.
No full textLa fama invero modesta di Gaetano Polidori (1764-1753) è solitamente vincolata ai suoi stretti rapporti con alcune figure ben più note nel panorama letterario europeo. Si suole infatti ricordarlo come il segretario di Vittorio Alfieri, o più ancora per i meriti dei suoi discendenti: il figlio John William – intrinseco di Byron e autore del romanzo The Vampire (capostipite del genere) – e i nipoti Dante Gabriel e Christina Rossetti. Il contributo presente si propone invece di gettare qualche lume in più sulle ragioni e sulla rete di contatti che indussero Polidori a lasciare Alfieri e Parigi, all’indomani della Rivoluzione, per trasferirsi a Londra, scartando l’ipotesi di un ritorno nella natia Toscana; e sul ruolo culturale che egli finì per assumere nella capitale britannica, in veste di editore e autorevole mediatore dei rapporti anglo-italiani in campo letterario e artistico.The modest fame of Gaetano Polidori (1764-1753) is usually linked to his close relationship with some celebrated figures in the European literary scene. He is usually remembered both as the secretary of Vittorio Alfieri and for the merits of his descendants: his son John William – very close to Byron’s circle and author of the novel The Vampire (which started a genre) – and his nephews Dante Gabriel and Christina Rossetti. The present essay aims rather to investigate the various reasons behind Polidori’s choice to leave Alfieri and Paris, after the French Revolution, and his decision to move to England instead of going back to the native Tuscany. The essay focuses in particular on Polidori’s network of contacts in London and the cultural role he ended up assuming in the British capital, as printer, editor and authoritative mediator of Anglo-Italian relations in the literary and artistic field
Reti relazionali nella parabola dirigenziale di Carlo Lovioz alla filiale Comit di Londra (1935-1940)
No full textL'attenzione posta verso gli aspetti sociali del mondo di banca ha individuato in Carlo Lovioz, direttore presso la filiale della Banca commerciale italiana (Comit) di Londra tra il 1935 e il 1940, una figura in grado di mostrare l'importanza assunta dai network di conoscenze personali nel panorama finanziario. Sono stati selezionati una serie di incontri che offrono un primo sguardo sulla rete relazionale di Lovioz, mostrandone la composizione e i meccanismi. Il supporto fornito dalla teoria del capitale sociale ha consentito di mettere in luce alcuni tratti peculiari del gruppo sociale delle élite di banca, tra cui spirito di cooperazione (e di solidarie- tà), fiducia e stima. Essenziale ai fini della ricerca è stato il preliminare inquadramento storico avente come estremi la fondazione della Comit, nel 1894, e la legge bancaria – che sancì la fine della banca universale – emanata dal governo fascista nel 1936, affinché si potesse forni- re una dovuta contestualizzazione del periodo antecedente l'esperienza dirigenziale del banchiere preso in esame. Ripercorrendo i passaggi di un istituto che contribuì allo sviluppo eco- nomico dell'Italia di inizio Novecento, sono state descritte le cause che portarono all'intervento statale per il suo salvataggio, tra il 1931 e il 1933, e al suo nuovo assetto organizzativo.The focus on the social aspects of banking identified in Carlo Lovioz, director at the London branch of the Italian Commercial Bank (Comit) between 1935 and 1940, a figure capable of showing the importance assumed by personal acquaintance networks in the financial landscape. A series of encounters have been selected that can offer an initial insight into Lovioz's relational network, showing its composition and mechanisms. The support provided by the theory of social capital has enabled to highlight certain features of the social group of banking élite, including the spirit of cooperation, trust and esteem. Furthermore, the author considered essential to provide a preliminary historical framework in order to present a due contextualisation of the period prior to Lovioz's management experience. The chosen chronological references were the foundation of Comit in 1894 and the banking law issued by the Fascist government in 1936. By retracing the steps of an institute that contributed to the economic development in Italy at the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the author was able to describe the causes that led to state intervention to rescue the bank between 1931 and 1933 and to its new organisational structure
