Speroni, Sperone
No full textThe Paduan philosopher and man of letters Sperone Speroni degli Alvarotti (1500–1588) was one of the most prominent cultural figures of sixteenth-century Italy who had a pivotal role in the vernacularization and dissemination of the works of Aristotle (Sperone Speroni 1989; Fournel 1989; Panciera 2010–2011; Vianello 2011). He spent his whole, unsettled life writing especially dialogues, orations, let- ters, and discourses on the most diverse topics, such as love, ethics, politics, history, language, and rhetoric (Ms. E/13; Dalle Laste and Forcellini 1740; Loi and Pozzi 1993). He was the author of a highly polemical play, the Canace et Macareo [Canace et Macareo], writ- ten in Padua in 1542 and printed in Florence four years later (Roaf 1982). Formerly a uni- versity professor and philosopher (he was a pupil of Pietro Pomponazzi), then a rhetorician and a vulgarizer in the academies, and finally a courtier, Speroni was closely involved in Padua’s Accademia degli Infiammati (Academy of the Burning Ones). His works deeply influenced several protagonists of the Renaissance culture, even beyond Italy, although only in recent years scholars have been giving this figure the attention he deserves
Meandering poetics:Reading Montaigne through Sperone Speroni
No full textThe titles of Montaigne’s essays bear a striking resemblance to those of Italian Renaissance dialogues and discourses in the vernacular of his contemporaries in Italy . The purpose of the present article is to read Montaigne in the light of one such Italian author, Sperone Speroni (1580-1588), and thus to compare Montaigne’s essays to Speroni's dialogues, not only in theme but also in their poetics. We will see how the quest for knowledge about the things of the world led each of our authors to a quite distinct use of the written word: whereas Speroni elaborated the Renaissance dialogue to artistic mastery, Montaigne created the genre of the essay.

Abstract
Verbena officinalis L. is used in folk medicine for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, skin burns, abrasions, and gastric diseases. Extracts obtained with different solvents (methanol, VoME; enriched flavonoids, VoEF; supercritical CO2, VoCO2) were evaluated for anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective and cicatrizing activities. Additionally, the antioxidant capacity was determined in vitro. In order to confirm the activities investigated, histological observations were performed. All extracts induce a remarkable anti-inflammatory activity. The gastric damage is significantly reduced by all extracts administered, whereby the most pronounced protection is observed for the VoCO2 and VoEF extracts. Finally, a wound healing effect is obtained particularly by the CO2 extract, suggesting the presence of some lipophilic active principles. Histological evidence confirms the results evaluated with the animal procedures. The results obtained after oral administration of V. officinalis extracts are also in agreement with the antioxidant capacity evaluated in vitro, confirming the relationship between pharmacological activities and antiradical efficacy
Clinical Management of Gingival Recessions with or Without Cervical Lesions: A Decisional Scheme Proposal
No full textBackground: Treatment of gingival recessions starts from an accurate diagnosis considering both periodontal tissue status and adjacent exposed dental tissues. Based on current scientific evidence and the authors’ clinical experience, a decisional scheme has been proposed for the management of gingival recession defects, with or without non-carious cervical lesions, taking into account gingival thickness and interproximal attachment levels. To illustrate its practical application, a series of representative clinical cases is presented, documenting the rationale and outcomes of the therapeutic decisions. Methods: According to the 2017 World Workshop Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions, the gingival recession defect classifications have been used to build up a decision-making therapeutic process. Combined periodontal and restorative treatments in presence or absence of dental lesions have been performed. Results: In case of an identifiable cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) with or without non-carious cervical lesions (class A+ and class A−, respectively) and absence of interproximal attachment loss (RT1), flap approaches alone or in combination with connective tissue graft (CTG) were suggested. In case of an unidentifiable CEJ without cervical lesion (class B−), flap approaches alone were proposed in presence of adequate residual keratinized tissue (KT) and absence of interproximal attachment loss (RT1); if KT is extremely reduced, flap approaches + CTG may be performed. If the unidentifiable CEJ is associated with cervical lesions involving both root and crown surfaces (class B+), the combined restorative–periodontal treatment results as the most indicated approach. The adjunctive use of CTG should be also considered in presence of interproximal attachment loss (RT2 and RT3) and reduced gingival thickness (<1 mm). Conclusions: The proposed decisional scheme could be useful to address the clinicians during the decision-making process in the treatment of gingival recessions

Ugo Speroni e i suoi epigoni: tra eresia e critica all'istituzione chiesa
No full textLe complesse vicende che portarono alla istituzione della diocesi di Alessandria si protrassero per diversi decenni, segnati da interventi della sede apostolica (Alessandro III e Innocenzo III) e dell'arcivescovo di Milano, entro la cui provincia ecclesiastica si collocavano le diocesi di cui e di Alessandria. Nel 1205, quando grazie a un nuovo intervento papale sembrava oramai prossima l'unione delle Chiese di Acqui e Alessandria sotto un unico vescovo (in tal modo Alessandria sarebbe divenuta sede episcopale), le resistenze degli ecclesiastici e del ceto consolare del comune di Acqui si fondarono su posizioni al limite dell'ortodossia, evidentemente maturate nell'ambiente delle scuole di diritto di area bolognese, dalle quali probabilmente veniva il più strenuo difensore dei diritti del Comune e della Chiesa di Acqui, magister Enrico. Alla metà del XII secolo, infatti, a Bologna si erano formati sia Ugo Speroni sia il magister Vacarius, colui che ne svelò l'eresia, e in esse si formarono numerosi esponenti del ceto consolare dei comuni padani, in buona parte costituito da esperti di diritto e giudici.The complex events that led to the institution of the diocese of Alessandria (Piedmont) lasted for several decades, marked by interventions by the Apostolic See (Alexander III and Innocent III) and the Archbishop of Milan, to whose ecclesiastical province both the dioceses of Acqui and Alessandria belonged. In 1205, when, thanks to a new papal intervention, the union of the Churches of Acqui and Alessandria under a single bishop seemed to be close (in this way Alessandria would become the episcopal see), strong resistance emerged from the ecclesiastics and the consular class of the town of Acqui. They expressed positions at the limit of orthodoxy, evidently matured in the environment of the law schools of the Bolognese area, from which probably came the most strenuous defender of the rights of the Commune and the Church of Acqui, magister Enrico. In the middle of the 12th century, in fact, both Ugo Speroni and magister Vacarius, the man who unveiled his heresy, had studied in Bologna, and in Bologna studied numerous exponents of the consular class of the Po Valley Communes, largely made up of legal experts and judges

Dentre esses literatos, opaduano Sperone Speroni (1500-1588) teve uma atuação por sua vezpeculiar, pois, apesar de seus textos circularem nos centros literários daEuropa, ele permaneceu à margem. A partir desta observação, apesquisa se desenvolve principalmente com base na Teoria dosPolissistemas, de Itamar Even-Zohar, na noção de República Mundialdas Letras, de Pascale Casanova e na ideia de Cidade das Letras, deÁngel Rama, para entender quais teriam sido os mecanismos e motivosque levaram Speroni a ocupar essa posição na Questione della Lingua.Abstract : In the history of italian language and literature, one particularly decisiveevent of the XVI century was the Questione della lingua. It involvedscholars, besides other social classes, thus acquiring a political nature,extending beyond the limits of the literary scene. Among these scholars,the Paduan Sperone Speroni (1500-1588) had an interesting role, since,despite his texts having spread among Europes literary centres, he hasremained a marginalized author. Starting from this observation, thisresearch is developed mainly based in the Polysystems Theory, of ItamarEven-Zohar, in the concept of the World Republic of Letters, fromPascale Casanova, and on the idea of the Lettered City, from ÁngelRama, to understand which were the mechanisms and reasons that ledSperoni to occupy such a place in the Questione della Lingua
