Whether you’re vacationing in Italy or simply an armchair traveler, this guide to the Mediterranean island of Sicily is a dazzling introduction to the region’s rich 3,000-year history and culture. A rich and fascinating cultural history of the Mediterranean’s enigmatic heart Sicily is at the crossroads of the Mediterranean, and for over 2000 years has been the gateway between Europe, Africa and the East. It has long been seen as the frontier between Western Civilization and the rest, but never definitively part of either. Despite being conquered by empires—Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Hapsburg Spain—it remains uniquely apart. The island’s story maps a mosaic that mixes the story of myth and wars, maritime empires and reckless crusades, and a people who refuse to be ruled. In this riveting, rich history Jamie Mackay peels away the layers of this most mysterious of islands. This story finds its origins in ancient myth but has been reinventing itself across centuries: in conquest and resistance. Inseparable from these political and social developments are the artefacts of the nation’s cultural patrimony—ancient amphitheaters, Arab gardens, Baroque Cathedrals, as well as great literature such as Giuseppe di Lampedusa’s masterpiece The Leopard, and the novels and plays of Luigi Pirandello. In its modern era, Sicily has been the site of revolution, Cosa Nostra and, in the twenty-first century, the epicenter of the refugee crisis.

This book is the first extensive study of ideas on earthquakes before the Lisbon earthquake in 1755. The earthquake had a deep impact on European culture, and the reactions to it stood in a long tradition that, before this study, had yet to be explored in detail. Thinking on Earthquakes investigates both scholarly theories and views that were propagated among the early modern European population. Through a chronological approach, Vermij reveals that in contrast to the Ancient and medieval philosophers who suggested rational explanations for earthquakes, supernatural ideas made a powerful comeback in the sixteenth century. By analysing a variety of sources such as pamphlets, sermons, and treatises, this study shows how changes in the ideas on earthquakes were a result of social and political demands as well as from improvements in the means of communication, rather than from scientific methods. Thus, Vermij presents an illuminating case for the production of knowledge in early modern Europe. A range of events are explored, including the Ferrara earthquake in 1570 and the Vienna earthquake in 1590, making this study an invaluable source for students and scholars of the history of science and the history of ideas in early modern Europe.

Il saggio ha inteso ripercorrere la storia economica della Sicilia dall’invasione normanna fino ad oggi allo scopo di evidenziarne i più salienti momenti evolutivi che si sono verificati sia durante la permanenza del feudalesimo, che dopo la sua abolizione avvenuta nel 1812. Le vicende del periodo preunitario evidenziano il brutale passaggio all’economia latifondistica con quelle connotazioni feudali che impediscono la libera coltivazione della terra. Tali connotazioni saranno dure a morire nell’età postunitaria, riuscendo persino a resistere durante il regime fascista che fece vani tentativi per smantellare il latifondismo. Soltanto l’introduzione del suffragio universale, successivo alla Seconda guerra mondiale e la riforma agraria del 1950, riusciranno a debellare il latifondismo ma non riusciranno ad incidere sulla mentalità clientelare dei siciliani della quale si alimenterà la delinquenza organizzata che, nonostante le battaglie condotte dalla magistratura, riuscirà ad infiltrarsi nella struttura economica dell’Isola.

Il cuore di Buscemi è questa chiesa! E se lo vuoi vedere pulsare rosso, vivo e pieno di festa, non puoi mancare qui l’ultima Domenica di Agosto di ogni anno. La festa della Madonna del Bosco - santa patrona del paese - racchiude in se tutta l’energia culturale di questa grande chiesa, che domina il paese dall’alto di Corso Vittorio Emanuele, dalla cima della spettacolare scalinata in pietra lavica. Dal portone principale di questa bellissima chiesa barocca, detta da tutti Matrice, vedrai entrare la vara della statua della Madonna, luminosa e ricca, in pieno caldo mezzo giorno, portata a spalla dai suoi più forti devoti, e suonata a festa dalla banda musicale, in un tripudio di fuochi pirotecnici e nuvole colorate di coriandoli con omaggi scritti alla Santa, con applausi e grida di gioia, per il suo primo dei sette giorni di ricovero in questa chiesa.

Authors, Factions, and Courts in Angevin England: A Literature of Personal Ambition (12th-13th Century) advances a model for historical study of courtly literature by foregrounding the personal aims, networks, and careers as the impetus for much of the period’s literature. The book takes two authors as case studies – Gerald of Wales and Walter Map – to show how authors not only built their own stories but also used popular narratives and the tools of propaganda to achieve their own, personal goals. The purpose of this study is to overturn the top-down model of political patronage, in which patrons – and particularly royal patrons – set the cultural agenda and dictate literary tastes. Rather, Fabrizio De Falco argues that authors were often representative of many different interests expressed by local groups. To pursue those interests, they targeted specific political factions in the changeable political scenario of Angevin England. Their texts reveal a polycentric view of cultural production and its reception. The study aims to model a heuristic process which is applicable to other courtly texts besides the chosen case-studies.
