Lorenzo Milani in our times
No full textThis article pays tribute to one of Europe's foremost critical pedagogues, the Tuscan Don Lorenzo Milani, on the ninetieth anniversary of his birth. It highlights the key moments in his life as priest and educator as well as his pedagogical approach directed at challenging the class-conditioned status quo in Italian society and at achieving greater social justice. His was a pedagogy which highlighted the collective dimensions of learning and teaching, pupils being students and educators at the same time, an approach to learning akin to what Paulo Freire would call critical literacy and what contemporary writers would call critical media literacy in the sense of reading and writing the word and the world. His pedagogy entailed a process of reading history against the grain as part of an attempt to generate a culture of non-militarization. All these elements make Don Milani and his student-teachers pedagogues for our times.peer-reviewe
«Ignorante et di pocha religione de Cristo». Lorenzo Lotto e fra Damiano Zambelli
No full textLorenzo Lotto e l’intarsiatore fra Damiano Zambelli (1480 circa - 1549) ebbero modo di sperimentare a Bergamo una convivenza pluriennale, nei cantieri patrocinati dal capitano Alessandro Martinengo Colleoni per i Domenicani del convento dei Santi Stefano e Domenico: Lotto dal 1513 fu incaricato di realizzare la monumentale pala per l’altare maggiore e in seguito eseguì affreschi per il pontile della chiesa; mentre Zambelli entro il 1528 si impegnò nella decorazione dei «banchi di tarsia» per la cappella gentilizia.
Proprio le tarsie zambelliane, con la loro innovativa predilezione per storie popolate da numerosi personaggi, costituiscono il precedente più significativo dell’evoluzione narrativa che la tarsia bergamasca intraprese qualche tempo dopo nei pannelli eseguiti sui disegni di Lotto per il nuovo coro della basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. Come è noto, "trait d’union" tra i due cantieri fu il giovane maestro Giovanni Francesco Capoferri, prima attivo presso fra Damiano per il perfezionamento professionale e poi direttore dei lavori nella prestigiosa commessa del Consorzio della Misericordia. Accanto a lui, altri artisti si mossero tra le due fabbriche e risultano documentati a diverse altezze cronologiche in entrambe le imprese, a indicare che nel più tardo coro di Santa Maria Maggiore, almeno nella prima fase dei lavori, si espresse una cultura artigianale locale di impronta zambelliana – nata tra le pareti della chiesa domenicana – con la quale Lotto si trovò presto a fare i conti.
Il confronto tra la scuola zambelliana e quella lottesca, ciascuna caratterizzata dal proprio modus operandi, non dovette risolversi del tutto pacificamente. Il tono delle parole usate dallo stesso Lotto
in una nota lettera del luglio 1526 indirizzata al Consorzio della Misericordia – parole riprese nel titolo di questo contributo – farebbe pensare a una relazione gravemente compromessa con fra Damiano. Indipendentemente dalle conflittualità personali, gli effetti del confronto non tardarono a manifestarsi. Da un lato il cantiere di Santa Maria Maggiore rimase inevitabilmente condizionato da certe peculiarità del precedente modello zambelliano; dall’altro fra Damiano si servì positivamente del rapporto con la nuova esperienza lottesca

Italian signposts for a sociologically and critically engaged pedagogy : Don Lorenzo Milani (1923-1967) and the schools of San Donato and Barbiana revisited
No full textThis paper provides a critical exposition and analysis of the work of an acclaimed Italian educator, Lorenzo Milani, and ideas that emerged from his experiences in two Tuscan localities. His work is well known in Italy and many parts of southern Europe. Despite the translations of his works into English and Spanish, in the early 1970s, and their use in sociology of education classes in the United Kingdom, he seems to have had a very limited impact on the Anglo-North American-dominated critical education field. The paper revisits his ideas, in this 90th anniversary year, indicating their contemporary relevance and the signposts they provide for a critically and sociologically engaged pedagogy.peer-reviewe

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
Letter dated 27 March 1969 from Lorenzo A. Richards to Gerald F. Allen

Richards, Ph.D. 4455 Fifth St. Riverside, Calif. 92501 Dear Dr. Richards: I certainly appreciated the refreshing chat with you the other day; also your letter and patent copy (enclosed!. Will look forward to talking with you about further developmental work on your sensor. It was somewhat of a relief to find that your patent did not overlap the design I have been working on, other than the fact that an electro-thermal element was incorporated in the sensor, and that the readings obtained are based on the heat flow characteristics of the soil. The materials used in, and the configuration of my sensor design in no way involves a ceramic cup or other porous material. Hopefully, there is no reason why we cannot establish some kind of gentlemen\u27s agreement and working arrangement, wherein I would not appropriate any of your porous-cup sensor designs or concepts, and you would not appropriate any of my non-porous-cup or non-standard-soil-simulating designs or concepts. Let\u27s talk about this at your earliest convenience, as I would welcome the opportunity to assist you or work with you. The most exciting thing that has happened here, is the development of a simple soil salinity tester that reads out the conductivity of a saturation extract within a few seconds of the time a saturation paste is preparedl Thus, the problem of correllating pastes and extracts disappears. The working model I built (and documented) this weekend, is no more elaborate or expensive than the straight-forward conductivity tester that I showed you last week. Am more than anxious to show this device and associated analytical concept, to you. You may be opening this letter about the time I will phone you - Wednesday morning, when I shall be in Riverside for an appointment with Dr. Branson and Dr. Rawlins. If this turns out to be a convenient time, perhaps we can chat sometime Wed. Respectfully yours, /7 7//^i 77 7 f % (, */J 7/ 77/^i •7 / 7/?
