An ancient secret is enshrined in a mysterious inscription dated 1207, still to be seen on the ornate marble floor of the Basilica of San Miniato in Florence. This story holds the key to that secret. The narrative unfolds in the latter part of the 12th century when Frederick Barbarossa, the Holy Roman Emperor, was forcefully seeking to bring the Italian communes to heel under his rule in Europe, and the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem was reeling under the mortal blows of Saladin in the Holy Land. Against the backdrop of these dramatic events, Yosef, a young Florentine Jew, pursues his search for the mysterious "stone" capable of imparting an understanding of the whole of creation: the legendary Grail. Gathering pace with every page turned, picking up speed as it rushes headlong towards its arcane ending, the story hurtles along amid Yosef's heroic deeds and the moving love that binds him for eternity to the beautiful Miriam. "Questo romanzo sta alla pletora di opere di questo genere come i Promessi Sposi stanno al romanzo storico italiano di inizio Ottocento... Se Manetti in persona abbia o meno trovato la pietra filosofale, difficile dirlo, e comunque non lo rivelerebbe: di certo però ha trovato la strada per un capolavoro..." Domenico Del Nero "Manetti riesce a parlare dell'indescrivibile, spesso ricorrendo ad accenti di pura poesia..." Anna Giacomini I Italian edition: October 2006 I reprint: November 2007 I English edition: November 2017 (translation by Stephen Tobin)

On the marble floor of the Basilica of San Miniato in Florence there is an inscription of 1207, mysterious and variously interpreted. It contains an ancient secret. The historical novel by Renzo Manetti is its history and its key. In the book, the historical facts vividly alternate to Yosefs heroic deeds, to the emotioning love story that will inextricably bind him to Miriam. Fantastic adventures involve the reader thanks to the author capability. Renzo Manetti, born in Florence in 1952, is an architect, writer and scholar of history of architecture, of iconology and symbolism. For nearly two decades, the iconographic and symbolic research has become for him the prevailing research field, with particular attention to the influence of Platonic philosophy and hermetic medieval and Renaissance architecture.

With Desiderium Sapientiae (The Desire for Wisdom) written in 1996, and Le Porte Celesti (The Doors of Heaven) published in 1999, now both out of print, Renzo Manetti returns in this book to his favourite theme of medieval sacred architecture and its symbols. Taking his cue from the complex symbolic vocabulary of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte in Florence, he explores the true significance of the church as a Door to Heaven, one of those mysterious thin places on our planet where the spirit materialises and the body becomes spirit under the influence of powerful currents of energy. This new essay completes his first historical novel Il Segreto di San Miniato (The Secret of San Miniato), explaining some of the more arcane passages in the novel which may appear at first sight to be beyond the informed layman's grasp. The two books are complementary because each contains something the other is missing. This essay explains the symbols, but only the novel provides the key to open the hidden door.

Do we, like Jung, need to leave the spirit of the time and follow the spirit of the depths, to call out "my soul, where are you?" through the windows of our now post-modern homes? We live in a digital world of incredible virtual inter-connectedness but at the same time fragmented and divided on many levels, including the psychological. The pace of life is rapid and ever accelerating. The spirit of the time is flux: It twitters. There is no sense of coherence in the whole. The guidance of a transcendent North Star is invisible to the naked eye of consciousness. Our existential crisis is not about the individual alone. It infects the entire human world, like the Covid-19 pandemic. Wars between cultural brothers and sisters, increasingly dire effects of climate change, economic disruptions, hunger, migration-these conditions affect everyone on the planet. Is there a spirit of the depths that can take us through this Inferno, perhaps toward the emergence of a meaningful narrative that can stabilize the global community and provide a collective sense of "supreme meaning?" This is the search for soul in the 21st Century.

Nell'estate del 1963, sull'isola atlantica di Bone Point, il sedicenne Michael si innamora per la prima volta. Ma anche il padre del ragazzo è incantato da Zina, ed è lui il prescelto. Commedia dolceamara di attrazioni asimmetriche, dove ogni personaggio desidera chi non può avere, Acqua di mare è soprattutto la storia d'amore tra un ragazzo e suo padre, eroe imperfetto e fascinoso. Con lui Michael nuota, va a pesca, affronta i primi discorsi importanti di un'estate che segnerà il suo destino. E tra padre e figlio si gioca lo scioglimento, drammatico e ineludibile, sullo sfondo di un mare che ha lo stesso sapore delle lacrime.

EDIZIONE SPECIALE: CONTIENE UN ESTRATTO DI LA PROFEZIA PERDUTA DI DANTE, IL NUOVO ROMANZO DI FRANCESCO FIORETTI Il codice nascosto della Divina Commedia Un caso editoriale. Il più grande esordio degli ultimi anni. Intrighi, teoremi, sorprendenti rivelazioni sul poema più importante di tutti i tempi. Dante è davvero stato ucciso dalla malaria, come tutti a Ravenna credono? Oppure qualcuno aveva dei motivi per desiderare la sua morte e la scomparsa di un segreto insieme a lui? Tormentati da questo dubbio, la figlia del poeta, suor Beatrice, un ex templare di nome Bernard e un medico, Giovanni da Lucca, iniziano una doppia indagine per fare chiarezza su quanto è accaduto. Cercano con fatica di decifrare un messaggio in codice lasciato da Dante su nove fogli di pergamena e intanto si mettono sulle tracce dei suoi presunti assassini, scoprendo che molti nutrivano una profonda avversione per il poeta. Non sarà facile trovare la chiave del segreto occultato nella Commedia e scoprire chi voleva impedire che l’opera fosse terminata. Ma perché l’Alighieri aveva deciso di nascondere con così grande cura gli ultimi tredici canti del Paradiso? Teoremi raffinati, intrighi complessi e verità da svelare si celano tra i versi delle tre cantiche, come l’identità del Veltro, o l’annuncio dell’arrivo di un misterioso vendicatore... Sullo sfondo storico della crisi politica ed economica del Trecento, Il libro segreto di Dante intreccia vicende reali e personaggi di fantasia, tessendo trame piene di mistero e inquietanti interrogativi. Una storia mai raccontata. Un enigma dimenticato. Quale mistero si cela nei versi più criptici del sommo poeta? «È un giallo tutto da godere, senza mai di menticare il grande originale che lo ha ispirato.» Il Venerdì di Repubblica «Exploit del dantista Fioretti che gioca con gli enigmi della Commedia.» Corriere della Sera «Tra segreti e colpi di scena potrebbe essere Il Codice Da Vinci di quest’estate.» Vanity Fair «Misteri. Sarà forse il nuovo caso editoriale dell’estate? Fioretti indaga sulla morte del poeta con una squadra degna dei RIS.» Il Riformista «Fenomeno letterario dell’estate.» Il Giornale Francesco Fioretti È nato a Lanciano, in Abruzzo, nel 1960. Siciliano e apulotoscano d’origine, si è laureato in Lettere a Firenze e ha insegnato in Lombardia e nelle Marche.

Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality. Winner of the Society for Italian Historical Studies's Howard R. Marraro Prize Originally published in 1996. Historical writing on the Renaissance has usually focused on the social extremes that co-existed in the great metropolitan centers—on either elites or the underclass. As a result, the world of the middling families and provincial societies remains largely unexplored. Daily experiences in the lesser cities are, however, no less rich and revealing than those of Florence, Venice, and Milan. In addition, writes historian James Grubb, these experiences offer new perspectives from which to reassess familiar assumptions about domestic life in the fifteenth century. Based on memoirs and other records left by thirteen merchant families from the Veneto cities of Verona and Vincenza, Provincial Families of the Renaissance is an engrossing study of daily lives that have until now been overlooked by scholars. Grubb examines the attitudes and experiences of families undistinguished in their modest means and local ambitions from the majority of their compatriots, uncovering a detailed historical landscape rich in social obligations, commercial activities, and religious beliefs. Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality. In reconstructing provincial life in the Veneto, Grubb discovers in his subjects an independence of mind that mediated their reception of metropolitan ideologies far more than the historiography of the Renaissance might suggest. These "unremarkable" provincials were agents of their own destiny, influenced in equal measures by prevailing attitudes, local customs, and personal convictions. "James Grubb is exploring new terrain in this book. Distinguished by its clarity and eloquence, this is a superior work of historical writing and analysis that merits comparison with the best monographs on the social history of Renaissance Italy."—Gene Brucker, University of California at Berkeley

For almost all nations the First World War was an unparalleled disaster, but the Italian experience especially was to have catastrophic consequences. Weakened and embittered, trying and failing to come to terms with 600,000 dead and with an entire generation of men militarized by fighting, Italy gave birth to a new form of political life: Fascism. Richard Bosworth brings to life the period when Italians participated in a vast and ultimately ruinous political experiment under their dictator, Benito Mussolini, and his fascist henchmen. The fascists were the first totalitarians, aiming to reshape Italy and its people utterly. Their regime was based on a cult of violence and obedience. Yet, despite this, Italians found ingenious ways of adapting, limiting, undermining and ridiculing Mussolini's ambitions for them. The heart of this book is its engagement with the life of these ordinary Italians and their families, struggling through terrible times. Bosworth creates a powerful, plausible and entertaining picture of Italian life and a regime which - as the world hurtled towards the cataclysm of the Second World War - was to force humiliation, defeat, invasion and the utter collapse of the nation state.
