Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti e l’arte in Italia tra le due guerre. Nuove ricerche intorno e a partire dalla mostra del 1967 Arte moderna in Italia 1915-1935
No full textIl 26 febbraio 1967, nelle sale di Palazzo Strozzi a Firenze, fu inaugurata la mostra Arte moderna in Italia 1915-1935, attraverso la quale Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti mise in evidenza la necessità di ripensare in termini nuovi la complessa situazione della pittura e scultura tra le due guerre nel nostro Paese. A suo dire, infatti, pregiudizi ideologici avevano impedito una lettura dell’arte del periodo basata su «un’autenticità di significato espressivo o poetico» e su un’analisi obiettiva dei linguaggi e dei processi formali.
A cinquant’anni da quell’evento, nel dicembre del 2017 si è tenuto un convegno, organizzato in due giornate alla Fondazione Ragghianti di Lucca e all’Università di Pisa, per tornare a riflettere sul contesto che portò all’ideazione della mostra, nonché sui dibattiti da essa scaturiti, sulle scelte compiute e sull’importanza che l’approccio del grande studioso toscano ebbe nella rivalutazione e nella revisione della magmatica temperie di un periodo cruciale del Novecento italiano. Per altro verso, facendo riferimento in modo diretto, ma non esclusivo, alle partecipazioni alla mostra, nel convegno sono stati esaminati alcuni rapporti intercorsi tra gli artisti e Ragghianti, il quale evidenziò l’esigenza di integrare la visione storica dominante con la lezione che le singole personalità sono in grado di fornire tramite il loro operato, in modo autonomo e spesso non incasellabile nella troppo stretta maglia di ‘ismi’.
Il libro è a cura di Paolo Bolpagni, direttore della Fondazione Ragghianti, e di Mattia Patti, professore associato di Storia dell’arte contemporanea all’Università di Pisa, con la collaborazione di Livia de Pinto e Biancalucia Maglione. Contiene saggi di Manuel Barrese, Paolo Bolpagni, Sergio Cortesini, Livia de Pinto, Giorgia Gastaldon, Lorella Giudici, Emanuele Greco, Biancalucia Maglione, Massimo Maiorino, Martina Marolda, Maddalena Oldrizzi, Maria Letizia Paiato, Sibilla Panerai, Mattia Patti, Elena Pontiggia, Luca Quattrocchi, Gianmarco Russo e Livia Spano
In the shadow of the church: the building of mosques in early medieval Syria
No full textIn his book In the Shadow of the Church: The Building of Mosques in Early Medieval Syria Mattia Guidetti examines the establishment of Muslim religious architecture within the Christian context in which it first appeared in the Syrian region, contributing to the debate on the transformation of late antique society to a Muslim one. He scrutinizes the slow process of conversion to Islam of the most important town centers by looking at religious places of both communities between the seventh and the eleventh century. The author assesses the relevancy of churches by analyzing the location of mosques and by researching phenomena of transfer of marble material from churches to mosques
Antagonismo penale o agonismo politico? Reimmaginare le politiche contro il traffico e la tratta alla luce delle esperienze dei migranti
No full textThis article critically examines the use of criminal law in managing immigration in Italy, with a particular focus on human trafficking and migrant smuggling. It argues that both governments and human rights activists tend to adopt a stance of “penal antagonism”, targeting those who facilitate such practices as the main enemy and adopting criminal repression as the primary response. The concept of “border penality” is introduced to describe how penal power is used to both protect and counter border crossers. The article critiques this penal approach to migration, showing how it not only fails to address abuses but also leads to an increased number of migrants incarcerated, diverting attention from the fundamental role of anti-migratory policies in fostering conditions of exploitation and violence. Drawing on Chantal Mouffe’s theory of "political agonism”, the article advocates for a paradigm shift: instead of focusing on criminalising traffickers and smugglers, it suggests engaging in an agonistic confrontation with state institutions responsible for migration policies. Through both institutional and extra-institutional struggles, state action and resources should be redirected towards more migrant-friendly policies. Although transitioning from penal antagonism to political agonism is hard without broader changes to the global conditions driving migration and securitarian policies, efforts in this direction could still reduce the reliance on “border penality”, thereby mitigating a significant source of violence against migrants

We have previously examined the antiviral activity of resveratrol on the replication of Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), the etiologic agent of infectious mononucleosis and associated with several types of malignancies of epithelial and lymphoid origin.
In a cellular context that allows in vitro EBV activation and lytic cycle progression through mechanisms closely resembling those that in vivo initiate and enable productive infection, we found that RV inhibited EBV lytic genes expression and the production of viral particles in a dose-dependent manner
Does Independence Affect Regulatory Performance? The case of national competition authorities in the European Union
No full textDespite having always been assumed to be true, a relationship between the independence of regulatory agencies and their performance has never been formally tested. This paper aims at verifying whether formal regulatory independence affects the performance of national competition authorities in the EU member states. The author presents and discusses a statistical analysis which shows that greater formal independence leads competition authorities to investigate more cases and to issue more decisions
Caterina Colombini (1304 ca.-1387) o della cugina sedotta. Una ‘ricostruzione’ della figura di Caterina attraverso i testi letterari, in Le vestigia dei gesuati. L’eredità culturale del Colombini e dei suoi seguaci, a cura di I. Gagliardi, Firenze, Firenze University Press, 2020, pp. 57-71 ISBN 978-88-5518-227-0
No full textIn this essay the author demonstrates that it is possible to reconstruct the figure of Caterina Colombini (1340?-1387) – Giovanni Colombini's cousin – through a group of texts: the hagiography of Caterina, the letters sent to her by Giovanni Colombini and, finally, Giovanni's biography written by Feo Belcari. The author divides his text into four parts: the first part analyzes the content of Caterina's hagiography; the second examines the linguistic form of the hagiographic text; in the third, the author analyzes the latent meaning of the window, a symbolic place where Giovanni and Caterina converse on divine topics; in the last part, to conclude, the teachings that Giovanni gives to Catherine and her spiritual daughters – the Gesuate – are analyzed

The album of Mattia De Rossi’s drawings. Projects for the Galleria Colonna ai Santi Apostoli
No full textThe study proposed here on Mattia De Rossi, a pupil of Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his most trusted collaborator, is part of an investigation that the author is doing on the figure of the architect, making use of an obvious investigative tool: his drawings.
In particular, the exceptional discovery of a bound volume of about 200 drawings of Mattia is a resource of great effectiveness for the study of his professional figure. Among the sheets of the collection, those relating to the construction site of the Galleria Colonna in the eponymous palace in Piazza SS. Apostoli in Rome, are presented.
These drawings explain the important contribution of Mattia and the creative process that led him to the definitive version of the central hall of the gallery. The drawings are also the only graphic documents related to the project of the Galleria Colonna, now only partially known through hypothetical reconstructions.
The case of the Palazzo Colonna is similar to other projects included in the volume, which enlighten us on De Rossi's career, and which explain his position in several important Roman buildings of the second half of seventeenth centur
