Cappella di San Brizio
No full textAppearance of the Antichrist and the Last Judgment, with grisaille work beneath the main scenes illustrating the pagan underworld as described by early poets such as Dante; Two side chapels lie off the main crossing of the cathedral. The Cappella del Corporale, on the north side, was built between 1350 and 1356: it is two bays deep, with quadripartite vaults. The Cappella di S Brizio, a virtually identical structure on the south side, was begun in 1408 and completed in 1444; it was decorated by such artists as Fra Angelico, Benozzo Gozzoli and Luca Signorelli. Fra Angelico finished only two of the vault triangles: Christ as Judge and a gold-backed group of Prophets. The frescoes illustrating the End of the World are well documented. They are Signorelli's most complex and famous work. In 1499 he was contracted to finish the vault, abandoned 50 years before by Fra Angelico; the board liked the result and in 1500 assigned the decoration of the rest of the chapel to Signorelli. It was finished in 1503, with a break in 1502 when funds were lacking. In the scenes, which include the Last Judgement (in several parts, including the Damned, the Appearance of the Antichrist and the Resurrection of the Flesh) Signorelli explored the dramatic possibilities of the nude. By giving the demons near human form, but by colouring them with every shade of putrefying flesh, he made his cataclysmic vision fearful. Through his dynamic use of form and figural energy in the crowded scenes he created active compositional rhythms. Vasari wrote that Signorelli 'showed the way to represent nudes in painting as if alive'. Beneath the main scenes are remarkable small-scale grisaille scenes, which illustrate the underworld as described by pagan poets and Dante (the poets appear in the centre of each group of grisailles). Throughout the chapel the contours are often incised with a stylus; they were probably marked through a cartoon and in the grisailles correspond with the work of assistants, one of whom was his nephew, Francesco Signorelli (d 1559).

Pis'ma P.P Muratova (1923-1926). Priloženie: iz vospominanij Ol'ga Resnevič-Signorelli o P.P. Muratove
No full textLe lettere di Pavel Muratov a Ol'ga R. Signorelli illustrano con dovizia di particolari l’attività svolta dallo scrittore durante gli anni di permanenza in Italia e i legami con il mondo artistico italiano. Consentono di approfondire i dettagli concernenti il ruolo centrale svolto da Muratov nell’ideazione e organizzazione del ciclo di conferenze tenutosi a Roma fra il 3 e il 13 dicembre 1923 per iniziativa del Comitato Italiano di soccorso agli intellettuali russi. Mettono in luce un aspetto interessante del soggiorno italiano di Muratov che in quegli anni entra in contatto con alcuni tra i massimi esponenti delle avanguardie artistiche e con i promotori di manifestazioni culturali di importanza fondamentale per lo sviluppo della cultura italiana del Novecento

The Impact of Financial Crises on Youth Unemployment Rate
No full textThe impact of last financial crisis (2007-08) and subsequent global recession (2008-09) has been deeper on the weakest segments of the labour market. In this paper, we mainly focus on the extent and persistence of the impact of (past and last) financial crises on youth (15-24) unemployment rate. After a review of the existing (theoretical and empirical) literature on the determinants of youth unemployment rate in general and at the occurrence of economic crises, we present empirical estimations on the impact of past financial crises on young workers. We empirically investigate the relationship between financial crises and youth unemployment rate by employing fixed effects panel estimation on a large panel of countries (about 70) around the world for the period 1980-2005. Gender specific effect of crises on young workers is also investigated. To analyse the severity of financial crises for economies at different levels of economic development, we re-estimate our model for sub-samples of high income OECD countries and other economies in the sample. For further robustness check and sensitivity analysis, alternative definitions of crises are considered. The "persistence" of the impact of financial crises for young workers is also investigated. Finally we also estimate the Arellano-Bond dynamic panel, confirming the significance of the results. Young people are far more affected by the employment crises than the elder; long term unemployment for young workers can be harmful and may result in “discouraged workers” effects and social exclusion from labour market. Notwithstanding some peculiarities of the last crisis, our econometric investigations can be useful to better assess its impact on youth unemployment. At the end of the paper, before presenting some final considerations and policy implications, very recent data on youth labour market dynamics are analysed and discussed.crises, labour impact of economic crises, youth unemployment, panel fixed effects.
University-to-work transitions: an empirical analysis on Perugia graduates
No full textThe article investigates the transitions of graduates of a middle-sized Italian university into the provincial labour market. University of Perugia administrative information and data from the job centres in the province are matched to reconstruct the timing of the university-to-work transitions of graduates since January 2004 to July 2009. Cox proportional hazard model with competing risk is used to determine the role of individual and studying characteristics in affecting the employment probabilities of graduates. Our main findings concern the relevance of degree specialization and accumulation of generic job experiences. Controlling for selection due to unobserved transitions of graduates finding a job outside the province of Perugia does not change our results significantly. Even though our results cannot be generalized to the national context, they constitute an innovative step of analysis to derive crucial considerations and policy implications concerning the transition of graduates into the local labour market
