    Protecting antiquities in early modern Rome: the papal edicts as paradigms for the heritage safeguard in Europe

    No full text
    The edicts issued in Rome between the fifteenth and the eighteenth centuries are the earliest legislation conceived for the preservation and supervision of heritage in Europe. Not only did such regulations aim to protect monuments, antiquities, and – at a later stage – paintings from the risks of damage and deterioration, but also established a legal framework against their illegal exportation and excavation. In this study the gradual development of this vast corpus of legislation is considered within the variations of artistic scholarship, legal knowledge, artistic taste, and the art market in Europe between 1400s and 1700s. The mutual implications of juridical constructs and practices of supervision are evaluated together with interdisciplinary factors – such as the rise of collections and museums – to shed light on the development of the concepts of 'heritage protection' in early modern Rome. Specific analysis will also involve the gradual expansion of the definition of 'antiquity' and 'artefact' in papal legislation, as well as the establishment of innovative instruments to prevent and circumvent misdemeanours. One final consideration is given to the launch of local procedures of heritage protection in other states in Europe. Considering the cultural and historical backgrounds of each individual place, this study will demonstrate that the idea of safeguarding what was thought of as 'collective heritage' emerged consistently in eighteenth-century Europe following the paradigms of the papal edicts

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Riallestimenti, licenze e dispute: Luigi Canina Presidente dei Musei Capitolini tra 1855 e 1856 / Refurbishments, Licences and Disputes: Luigi Canina President of the Capitoline Museums between 1855 and 1856

    Through an accurate investigation of unedited archival documents kept at the Capitoline Archive in Rome, in the folder Presidenze e Deputazioni, this essay intends to reconstruct a page in the history of the Capitoline Museums that has been overlooked by scholars: that is, the one related to the appointment of the architect and archaeologist Luigi Canina as president of the museum in 1855-1856. Analysis of circulars, reports and accounts produced in these years allows the author to present a perspective on the new museum outfittings proposed by Canina, as well as the opening calendars, the study permits and the work uniforms he adopted, including also the controversies among the museum staff that he resolved. Lastly, a brief consideration will involve the director Alessandro Tofanelli, whose role in the museum development in the mid-18th century is completely ignored at the state-of-the-art.Tramite un’accurata ricerca su documenti inediti conservati presso l’Archivio Storico Capitolino di Roma, fondo Presidenze e Deputazioni, questo contributo intende ricostruire una pagina dello sviluppo dei Musei Capitolini rimasta estranea alla recente storiografia critica: ossia, quella relativa alla nomina dell’architetto e archeologo Luigi Canina a presidente del museo negli anni tra 1855 e 1856. L’analisi di circolari, ragguagli e rendiconti prodotti in questi anni consentirà di ricostruire non solo le vicende legate alle proposte di riallestimento, alla predisposizione dei calendari di apertura, alla concessione di licenze e permessi studio da parte del presidente, ma offrirà ancora uno spaccato vivido sul vestiario di servizio e sulle vertenze sollevate dagli impiegati museali. Un’ultima riflessione, infine, riguarderà il direttore Alessandro Tofanelli: una figura ancora tutta da indagare nel contesto dell’evoluzione dei Musei Capitolini a metà ‘800.
