Elisabetta è la sovrana dei record. Sul trono ha attraversato due secoli e un millennio, con impegno, disciplina e sacrificio è diventata un simbolo amatissimo della monarchia inglese. Diana era la principessa dei cuori, che per un determinazione di minare alle fondamenta proprio quel trono su cui sedeva la suocera. Insieme, la carismatica regina e la principessa con uno straordinario talento per la comunicazione sarebbero state una vera e propria potenza mediatica: invece la loro relazione è stata un disastro, meglio forse soltanto di quella fra Diana e il marito Carlo. Solo conoscendole meglio si possono capire i motivi profondi di una inimicizia che sembra sopravvivere persino alla morte. Davanti alla sovrana, da quel lontano 1997, il nome di Diana non può essere, né è più stato, pronunciato da nessuno. La giovane Spencer, bella, nobile e vergine, sembrava la moglie perfetta per un principe sgraziato, fragile e romantico. Invece il loro tormentato matrimonio ha aperto ai pettegolezzi più intimi le reali camere da letto; il loro divorzio ha fatto vivere alla regina gli anni più difficili della sua esistenza. E la tragica fine di Diana ha portato la monarchia inglese al punto più basso di popolarità della sua intera storia. Per capire le vere ragioni di questo profondo conflitto Luisa Ciuni ed Elena Mora hanno ripercorso quei sedici anni che Elisabetta e Diana hanno condiviso da suocera e nuora, mettendo a confronto abitudini e stile, strategie e follie, matrimoni e patrimoni. Uscita di scena Diana, la monarchia è riuscita ad assimilare la lezione della principessa pop per poi, lentamente ma inesorabilmente, cancellarne il ricordo. Cosicché tutti possano festeggiare i 90 anni della sovrana con il più tradizionale e sentito «Dio salvi la regina!».

In a magical collection of ancient Italian folklore, tradition, and belief, Aradia, Queen of Witchcraft is a profound gospel, foundational in modern Wicca and neopaganism. This folkloric tome invites you to explore the ancient lore and magical practices of the streghe, the wise women of Italy. Offering a glimpse into the traditions and secrets of Italian witchcraft, this classic book reveals the rituals, spells, and stories that form the heart of this rich spiritual tradition, centred around the Goddess Aradia, the Queen of Witches. Aradia, Queen of Witchcraft presents Charles Godfrey Leland's 1899 translation of an original Italian gospel alongside his curated collection of authentic poetry, charms, and folk tales from Tuscany. Exploring the history of witchcraft, this treasure trove of age-old practise embraces the powerful rituals and enduring beliefs of ancient practitioners.

This book is annotated with a rare biographical sketch of the author, written by Elizabeth Robins Pennell. Indefatigable in research, Mr. Leland collects from the mouths of Italian peasants all the information still surviving concerning witches and their rites. Much of this he incorporated in his previous writings, and much more—some of it, we are glad to think, on the point of appearance—has yet to see the light. It is difficult to over-estimate the interest of these survivals in Italy of pagan faith and rite, and it is eminently desirable that so much of them as possible should be preserved. They are on the verge of disappearance, and what is not now reclaimed will inevitably perish. On this point Mr. Leland insists. There are still, however, some few people in the Northern Ramagna who know the Etruscan names of the twelve gods. Invocations to Bacchus, Jupiter, Venus, Mercury, and the Lares may yet be heard, and there are women in the cities who mutter over the amulets they prepare spells known to the old Roman, and have lore which may be found in Cato or Theocritus. Aradia (Herodias), it may be said, is, according to the Vangelo of the witches, the daughter of Diana by her brother Lucifer, the god of the sun and of the moon, who for his pride was driven from Paradise. Aradia — not, Mr. Leland thinks, the Herodias of the New Testament, but an earlier replica of Lilith—is the chief patron of witches and the teacher of witchcraft. Deeply interesting is all that is said concerning her, and the book, which translates the poetic invocations, is a treasure-house to the student of witchcraft and myth.

While researching regional folklore in Tuscany during the late 19th Century, an American folklorist recieves a hand written document, the "Vangel", by a mysterious woman named Maddelena. Purportedly the last remains of an ancient Roman witchcraft religion, this forms the basis of "Aradia". Though the authenticity of "Aradia" has always been questioned, it has undoubtedly helped form the basis for neo-Pagan religion today.

Cosa, a small Roman town, has been excavated since 1948 by the American Academy in Rome. This new volume presents the surviving sculpture and furniture in marble and other stones and examines their nature and uses. These artifacts provide an insight into not just life in a small Roman town but also its embellishment mainly from the late Republic and through the early Empire to the time of Hadrian. While public statuary is not well preserved, stone and marble material from the private sphere are well represented; domestic sculpture and furniture from the third century BCE to the first CE form by far the largest category of objects. The presence of these materials in both public and private spheres sheds light on the wealth of the town and individual families. The comparative briefness of Cosa’s life means that this material is more easily comprehensible as a whole for the entire town as excavated, compared for instance to the much larger cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Daniel-François-Esprit Auber (1782–1871) was long considered one of the most typically French, as well as one of the most successful, opera composers of the nineteenth century. Although musically gifted, he initially chose commerce as a career, but soon realized that his future lay in music. He studied under Cherubini, and it was not long before his opéra-comique La Bergère Châteleine (1820), written at the age of 38, established him as an operatic composer. Perhaps the greatest turning point in Auber’s life was his meeting with the librettist Eugène Scribe (1791–1861), with whom he developed a long and illustrious working partnership that only ended with Scribe’s death. Success followed success; works such as Le Maçon (1825) and La Muette de Portici (1828) brought Auber public fame and official recognition. In 1829 he was appointed a member of the Institut, in 1839 Director of Concerts at Court, in 1842 Director of the Conservatoire, in 1852 Musical Director of the Imperial Chapel, and in 1861 Grand Officer of the Légion d’Honneur. Auber seems to have been fated to live in revolutionary times; during his long life no less than four revolutions took place in France (1789, 1830, 1848, 1870). He died on 12 May 1871 as a result of a long illness aggravated by the privations and dangers of the Siege of Paris. Auber’s overtures were once instantly recognizable, favourites of the light Classical repertoire. His gracious melodies and dance rhythms had a huge influence, both on piano and instrumental music, and on the genre of Romantic comic opera, especially in Germany. Musical tastes and fashions have changed, and contemporary audiences are more accustomed to the heavier fare of verismo, high Wagnerian ideology, and twentieth-century experimentalism. The operas themselves, apart from Fra Diavolo (1830), are seldom performed, yet Auber’s elegant, delicate and restrained art remains as appealing to the discerning listener as ever it was. Les Diamants de la couronne (1841) is a piece of really refined, almost surreal, fantasy. In many respects, it represents something of a distillation of the art of Scribe and Auber, a synthesis in some ways of the more earthy comedy of Fra Diavolo and the almost spiritual sophistication of Le Domino noir. Both plot and music carry the natural instincts of both creators to their extreme attainment. Berlioz singled out its musical beauty in his critique of the work. The narrative, with its story of royal counterfeiting, romance fulfilment and social restitution, combines several recurrent motifs that preoccupied Scribe, with the exotic Iberian setting opening up the Mediterranean sphere so stimulating to the artistic imagination of both librettist and composer. Catarina, heiress to the crown of Portugal, has a copy of the crown jewels made so that she can sell off the originals to pay off the national debt. The young queen's ploy works, the nation is saved. The music is very brilliant for the principal character who, by turns queen, brigand, and prima donna, sings variations of the greatest virtuosity and in the best of vocal styles. This edition reproduces the vocal score published in London by Boosey and Co. (c. 1880), the Royal Edition, edited by Arthur Sullivan and Josiah Pittman (with Italian and English words).
