Boccaccio nel Seicento: censure e recuperi della "compassione"
No full textSIMONA MORANDO, Boccaccio in the sixteenth century: censorship and recovery ofthe «compassion»
In the introduction of this paper, the literature of the seventeenth century is defined as a writing of compassion but not of consolation (quotations from Giovanni Cisano, Torquato Accetto, Emanuele Tesauro, G. B. Marino). The distance between the
writers studied here and Boccaccio is due to the censored editions of the Decameron in sixteenth century, to the censorship of Boccaccio as a «maestro d’amore», to his unrefined language, to his interpretation by many critics as a light and burlesque author. But, as reported in a writing by Boccalini, Boccaccio’s Latin works are very much appreciated in seventeenth century literature. This is especially the case of De casibus virorum illustrium, a gloomy and pessimistic book about misfortunes of famous men and about compassion, which nevertheless believes in the ability of letters to give back fame to ruined men. As shown in the conclusion
through some writings by Tassoni, many other seventeenth century authors do not have this kind of hope

Le chiavi del Paradiso. Primato petrino e devozione mariana di Sisto IV tra Cappella Sistina e S. Maria della Pace
No full textIl volume è strutturato in due parti distinte con una postfazione, un indice dei nomi e n. 55 Tavole a colori fuori testo, valide per entrambe le parti del volume. I. PARTE (di Lorenzo Cappelletti) A partire dalla esplicita indicazione che l’ignoto architetto, collocato sul fianco destro dell’affresco sistino della Consegna delle chiavi di Perugino, fa dell’edificio a pianta centrale che campeggia sullo sfondo, viene operata una completa rilettura iconografica e iconologica dell’intero affresco. Tenendo conto di tutta la migliore bibliografia sul tema e grazie anche alla considerazione di fonti inedite o mai considerate in relazione a tale affresco –– vengono riletti in particolare i due episodi evangelici sullo sfondo, la teoria dei dodici apostoli e dei personaggi dell’attualità di fine Quattrocento e soprattutto il gesto della consegna delle chiavi a Simon Pietro da parte di Gesù.
La rilettura si allarga necessariamente anche alla Punizione di Core, Datan e Abiram, l’affresco di Botticelli posto in chiave tipologica dirimpetto alla Consegna delle chiavi, e alla serie dei 30/32 papi affrescati nel cleristorio.
Lo studio non manca di offrire inoltre spunti per una comprensione più adeguata anche degli altri affreschi quattrocenteschi della sistina. II PARTE (di Simona Benedetti) Nell’ambito della revisione di lettura iconologica e iconografica dell’affresco della Consegna delle chiavi di Perugino nella Cappella Sistina, svolta da Lorenzo Cappelletti, si torna a riflettere anche sul significato dell’architettura dell’edificio rappresentato al centro dell’affresco. In questo senso nel contributo di Simona Benedetti, in primo luogo, si ripercorrono i riferimenti alla trattatistica quattrocentesca in materia di edifici sacri, che possono aver influito nella determinazione dell’edificio ottagonale.
In seconda istanza, si considerano le principali fabbriche a pianta ottagonale costruite precedentemente all’edificio dipinto, che possono aver costituito un fondato riferimento per il Perugino nella Consegna delle chiavi.
In particolare tra le architetture, che possono avere avuto un’influenza determinante nella definizione iconografica della fabbrica ottagonale presente nell'affresco, la chiesa di S. Maria della Pace è quella su cui si concentra il presente studio. L'opera si realizzò nel cuore pulsante della Roma rinascimentale proprio contemporaneamente all’affresco in esame, con esso trova degli innegabili punti di tangenza e corrispondenze, sia storiche che figurative. A questo riguardo interessantissima risulta la connessione tra il motivo dell’edificazione della fabbrica e i fatti storici, i personaggi, gli eventi prodigiosi e le pratiche devozionali, che condizionarono lo svolgersi del cantiere del Templum Pacis negli ultimi anni del pontificato di Sisto IV. La storicità del gesto della consegna delle chiavi a Pietro - avvenimento che si protrae nel tempo ad ogni elezione pontificia nello spazio fisico della Cappella Sistina - costituisce la centralità del messaggio iconografico dell'affresco del Perugino in cui, anche l’architettura, insieme ai personaggi rappresentati, strutturano una narrazione reale, estranea alle simbologie decontestualizzate dall’epoca propriamente sistina. Segue una postfazione di Francesco Andreani dal titolo Enigma del Quattrocento, saggio nel quale si sviluppano considerazioni sulle personalità degli architetti e maestranze attive nella Roma del tardo Quattrocento e negli anni di inizio della fabbrica di S. Maria della Pace. Il volume si conclude con l'indice dei nomi (a cura di Gemma Fusciello)I (of Lorenzo Cappelletti) Starting from the unknown architect’s forefinger pointed to the central plan building found in the background of the Sistine Perugino’s fresco The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, the author offers a new interpretation of the entire fresco at both an iconographical and iconological level.
Having considered the most important studies about this fresco and taking into account a number of unpublished and unconsidered sources, the author rereads in particular the meaning of the central plan building, as well as the two Gospel episodes in the background; and he rereads also the grouping of the Twelve, along with the fifteenth century historical personages painted among them, in the foreground.
The author’s vision necessarily broodens also to comprehend Botticelli’s fresco named The Punishment of Corah, Dathan and Abiram which is placed on the opposite wall as a typological prefiguration of The Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven; and it broodens moreover to reconsider the series of 30/32 popes frescoed in the upper register of the Sistine Chapel.
The essay also offers hints for a more complete comprehension of the other fifteenth century frescoes of the Sistine Chapel.
II. (of Simona Benedetti) As part of the review of iconological and iconographic reading about the fresco of the “Delivery of the keys” by Perugino in the Sistine Chapel, conducted by Lorenzo Cappelletti, you go back and think about the significance of the building architecture depicted in the center of the fresco. In this sense, the contribution of Simona Benedetti, first, retraces the references to the fifteenth-century treatises concerning sacred buildings, which may have affected the determination of the octagonal building. Secondly, we consider the main factories octagonal building constructed previously painted, that may have been an established reference for the Perugino in the “Delivery of the keys”. Especially between architectures, which may have had a decisive influence in defining the iconographic factory octagonal present in the fresco, the church of St. Mary of Peace is the one on which this study focuses. The work was realized in the heart of Renaissance Rome just simultaneously fresco concerned, although it is undeniable points of contact and correspondence, both historical and figurative. In this regard are interesting connections between the reason of building the factory, the historical facts, the characters and the miraculous events and devotional, which has conditioned the unfolding of the construction site of the Templum Pacis in the last years of the pontificate of Sixtus IV. The historicity of the act of handing over the keys to Peter, that continues over time in the physical space of the Sistine Chapel, is the centrality of the iconographic message of the fresco by Perugino; so even the architecture, along with the characters represented, the real narrative structure, far from to the symbolism belonging to the Sistine period properly

Reform of the Lithuanian civil service system in 2004-2018: the aspect of europeization
No full textLietuvos narystė ES implikavo pokyčius įvairiose valstybės valdymo srityse, taip pat ir valstybės tarnyboje. Straipsnyje aptariami narystės laikotarpiu vykę arba inicijuoti pokyčiai Lietuvos valstybės tarnybos sistemoje vertinant jų atitiktį bendriems Europos administravimo principams. Daugiausia dėmesio skirta XVII LR Vyriausybės iniciatyvai reformuoti valstybės tarnybos sistemą, kurią per visą narystės laikotarpį galima pavadinti vienu ryžtingiausių žingsnių vykdant reformą. Vis dėlto ne visi Vyriausybės pasiūlymai valstybės tarnybos žmogiškųjų išteklių administravimo klausimu artimi proeuropietiškų administracinių principų ir vertybių institucionalizavimui. XVII LR Vyriausybės iniciatyvomis valstybės tarnybos optimizavimo, darbo užmokesčio ir priėmimo į valstybės tarnybą klausimais siekta depolitizuoti valstybės tarnybą, akcentuojant profesionalizmą, taip atliepiant bendrus Europos viešojo administravimo principus. Tačiau vykdomosios valdžios politinis elitas, nors ir įžvelgė valstybės tarnautojų mokymo efektyvumo trūkumą, nebandė ieškoti galimybių, kaip gerinti mokymo kokybę, o į įstatymo projektą įtraukė pataisas, mažinančias mokymų valstybės tarnyboje prieinamumą ir būtinumą, be to, nepateikė jokių reikšmingų pasiūlymų, kaip tobulinti aukštesniosios valstybės tarnybą. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Europeizacija; Reforma; Valstybės tarnyba; Viešasis administravimas; Civil service; Europeanization; Lithuania; Public administration; ReformLithuania’s membership in the EU implied changes in various areas of public administration including the civil service. The article discusses change initiatives or changes in the civil service system of Lithuania during the membership period assessing their compliance with the general principles of the European administrative space. The membership has naturally demanded continuous improvement of the civil service system by integrating pro-European standards and values. However, the review of the process of the reform reveals that the improvement of the system did not show significant changes, suggesting that the institutional and value integration into the common European administrative space was consistently pursued. The 17th Government of the Republic of Lithuania has adopted a new law on civil service that can be considered as a certain political breakthrough after a long period of stagnation. However, it is not only the adoption of the law that matters, but also its content. The aim of this article is to discuss the process of improvement of the Lithuanian public service system in the context of Europeanization during the membership period. This article first of all describes the EU recommendations on the improvement of the member state civil service systems and the most important improvement initiatives in Lithuania during the first decade of its membership, and also evaluates the compliance of proposals of the 17th Government of the Republic of Lithuania on the positions of the reform on the civil service to the general principles of the European public administration. Political initiatives to reform the Lithuanian’s civil service system in the first decade of the membership were close to pro-European administrative principles and values but did not receive political support. Initiatives of the 17th Government of the Republic of Lithuania on the optimization of civil service, salary system and recruitment to the civil service were aimed to depoliticization and professionalization of the civil service and it has responded to the common principles of the European public administration. As for the lack of efficiency in the existing system of civil servants training the governmental political elite has indicated the problem but, at the same time, has not suggested any significant issues to improving it. Moreover, the politicians have not made any significant suggestions for the improvement of the Lithuanian senior civil service too
