Gui d’Uisel, “Ja non cujei qe·m desplagues amors” (BdT 194.11)
Full text linkThis paper offers a new critical edition with commentary of Gui d’Uisel’s ‘mala canso’ against Love, Ja non cujei qe·m desplagues amors, a poem that is less well-known and has received less critical attention compared to the other, better known, ‘mala canso’ addressed to the ‘mala dompna’ by the same author, “Si be·m partetz, mala dompna, de vos” (BdT 194.19). The paper will investigate all those aspects of the text – vocabulary, style, themes – that enable it to be classified as a song against love. As far as this is concerned, a number of features would appear to be of particular interest, such as the use of the rhyme-word “fais”; the equivalence of love service and feudal service that justifies abandoning Love, seen as a bad lord; the motif of ladies who have become “chamjaritz”; the theme of the decadence of courtly values; the poet’s need to place limits on his complaint faced with the corruption of ‘fin’amor’. Although the archetypes of many of the poem’s themes and motifs may be found already in the earliest troubadours, Gui d’Uisel’s songs, and this one in particular, stand out because their author is well aware that he is adopting a classic genre while at the same time attempting to renew it from the point of view of content
Albertet, “En amor trob tantz de mals seignoratges” (BdT 16.13)
No full textThe article provides a commentary and a new critical edition of Albertet’s poem “En amor trob tantz de mals seignoratges”, in which the troubadour praises some of the most courtly ladies of his time. The poem can be linked to the genre of the collective eulogy, where the enumerated ladies are praised essentially for political reasons, since the commendation is clearly addressed to the men hidden behind them: famous specimena of this genre are the ‘tournoiements des dames’ by Huon d’Oisy and Richard de Semilli and Raimbaut de Vaqueiras’ “Carros” (BdT 392.32). Albertet’s song starts with a misogynic tone, since the poet declares that celebrating or loving ladies is worthless, given their immoral behaviour, and with a polemic against the strict rules of courtly love. This misogyny, as is further discovered, is a rhetorical device to praise women as well as a tool to renew the genre of the love song from a thematic point of view

Albertet, “Donna pros e richa” (BdT 16.11)
Full text linkThis paper will provide a commentary and a new critical edition of “Donna pros e richa” by Albertet, a poem with an exceptional metrical structure, halfway between a ‘canso’ and an isostrophic ‘descort’. Its structure is identical to Raimbaut de Vaqueiras’ “Carros” (BdT 392.32): most likely Albertet’s poem is the original while “Truan, mala guerra” is a contrafactum, considering the fact that it is comparable to a sirventes. The lyric self urgently requests the love of a Genoese lady, complaining of her indifference and cursing her quite violently at the end of each stanza. The passionate tone that characterizes the poem becomes less so towards the end where God is finally called upon to protect the lady. What is clear here is, on the one hand, the poem’s conformity with the characteristics of the ‘mala canso’, and, on the other, its similarity with another poem by Raimbaut de Vaqueiras, the ‘contrasto’ with the Genoese lady (BdT 392.7). Thus Albertet’s poem is curious from different points of view: for its metrical form, uncommon in a ‘canso’; for its linguistic register which ressembles that of narrative genres such as the ‘fabliaux’; for its rhymes which offer a series of analogies and exchanges of rhyme-words with the two Raimbauts, the previously mentioned Raimbaut de Vaqueiras and Raimbaut d’Aurenga

Chaitivel: tra tra riflessione metaletteraria e critica della fin’amor
No full textL’articolo esamina uno dei lais meno fortunati di Maria di Francia: Chaitivel. In particolare, l’analisi si focalizza sulla riflessione metaletteraria presente nel lai e sulla critica al sistema della fin’amor. In direzione di una interpretazione metaletteraria spingono diversi elementi presenti nel testo: la discussione sul titolo e il proposito stesso da parte della protagonista femminile di comporre un lai a partire dall’esperienza vissuta. Contestualmente viene indagato l’atteggiamento critico di Maria di Francia nei confronti delle categorie tradizionali dell’amore cortese, tenendo in considerazione anche il rapporto con altri lais dell’autrice
Start-ups and SMEs investment features: spotlight on Italian reality
No full textAccess to finance has been acknowledged on research, practitioners and policy sides as being one of the most important factors for start-up activity and SME development and growth. Notwithstanding this importance, a holistic view of the Italian market in terms of types of investors, investment stages and dominant investment patterns is missing as is a comparison with the larger European context.
We aim to shed more light on this topic in order to identify and explain potential differences in investment practices for start ups and SMEs. Such findings will be of great value for all players involved. Entrepreneurs may be able to better address their investment requests, investors may find a benchmark with Europe useful in order to develop or redress their current activities and, finally, policy makers will be able to identify and design programs which are able to fill the gap between private investors and investment needs of start-ups and SMEs which are the backbone of economic activity in Italy.
Our analysis shows that, as compared to the European practice, investment in Italy remains mainly confined to the early stages while funding of growth and expansion is negligible but we also identify differences in investment levels and sectorial distribution
