Book excerpt: Questo volume offre al lettore la possibilità di uno sguardo nuovo (e forse inaspettato) su Roma e sul suo patrimonio di storia, cultura e sapienza. Rende fruibile, quantomeno parzialmente, la fatale frammentarietà della narrazione di Roma, illustrata con esemplari immagini fotografiche affiancate da brevi didascalie, talora da quegli aneddoti peculiari dell’arguzia del popolo romano che implementano gli stimoli della fantasia ... quasi che, di volta in volta, l’affascinante congerie urbana fosse percepita osservandola attraverso il foro della serratura. In questa inafferrabilità dell’intero insiste l’aporia di una metropoli che diviene orizzonte intrascendibile e inabbracciabile del nostro immaginario. Nel quale coltiviamo ancora la speranza che Roma, se non più raggiungibile nella sua sostanza, sia almeno evocabile nell’enigma dei suoi segni riposti. Questo gioco di rimandi e di slittamenti continui del senso è quanto il volume suggerisce, invitando infine il lettore a ricomporne uno suo, più ricco e complesso. This work offers a new (and probably unexpected) vision of Rome, together with its historical and cultural heritage. It renders vivid, at least partially, the fatal fragmentation of Rome’s history, illustrated through exemplary photographic images and brief captions, sometimes also by anecdotes typical of the Roman wit that stimulate one’s fantasy ... as if observing the fascinating extemporaneous urban scene through a key hole. This elusiveness leaves room to the aporia of the metropolis that poses itself as the insurmountable horizon of our imagination. In this horizon we nurture the hope that Rome, even if not comprehensible in its very substance, can at least be evoked in the riddle of its hidden marks. This game of allusions and continuous shifting of meanings finally invites the reader to recreate his own meaning, a richer and more complex one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the uses of orality in Italian society, across all classes, from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century, with an emphasis on the interrelationships between oral communication and the written word. The Introduction provides an overview of the topic as a whole and links the chapters together. Part 1 concerns public life in the states of northern, central, and southern Italy. The chapters examine a range of performances that used the spoken word or song: concerted shouts that expressed the feelings of the lower classes and were then recorded in writing; the proclamation of state policy by town criers; songs that gave news of executions; the exercise of power relations in society as recorded in trial records; and diplomatic orations and interactions. Part 2 centres on private entertainments. It considers the practices of the performance of poetry sung in social gatherings and on stage with and without improvisation; the extent to which lyric poets anticipated the singing of their verse and collaborated with composers; performances of comedies given as dinner entertainments for the governing body of republican Florence; and a reading of a prose work in a house in Venice, subsequently made famous through a printed account. Part 3 concerns collective religious practices. Its chapters study sermons in their own right and in relation to written texts, the battle to control spaces for public performance by civic and religious authorities, and singing texts in sacred spaces.

Book excerpt: This book reconstructs the efforts that were made to establish a missionary network between the two Irish Colleges of Rome, Ireland, and the West Indies during the seventeenth century. It analyses the process which brought the Irish clergy to establish two dedicated colleges in the epicenter of early modern Catholicism and to develop a series of missionary initiatives in the English islands of the West Indies. During a period of great political change in Ireland, continental Europe and the Atlantic region, the book traces how and through which key figures and institutions this clerical channel was established, while at the same time identifying the main obstacles to its development.
