This article aims at presenting the origins and the evolution of the disciplinary field of history of pedagogy in Italy. It is a process to which the Centro Italiano per la Ricerca Storico-Educativa (CIRSE), founded in 1980, contributed and which continues to this day. After an introduction describing the scientific changes occurred in the two decades preceding the foundation of CIRSE - similar in some ways to what happened in France - this paper consists of four parts describing the definition process of the study of history of pedagogy initiated in the cultural context of the 1968 revolution; the methodological and epistemological renewal established on the basis of the scientific activities carried out by CIRSE; the different legislation steps that led to the development of an independent field history of pedagogy at university level; finally, the current potential of CIRSE in the promotion of networks and scientific collaboration among Italian universities.

On 13rd October 2016 the Chiostergi-Tuscher archive and library, originating from the heirs' house located in France (Saint-Cergues Les Voirons), was transferred to the Centro cooperativo mazziniano "Pensiero e Azione" in Senigallia. The paper reports about how this remarkable heritage of Chiostergi-Tuscher was retrieved and returned to Italy after thirty years. The collection includes correspondences, letters, diaries, documents, journals and papers, pictures, books, posters and other archival and bibliographic materials of great historical value to learn about the political, civic and cultural activities of Giuseppe Chiostergi (1899-1961), anti-fascist, member of the Italian Constituent Assembly and of Parliament, ambassador, pro-European and statesman, friend and correspondent to leading Italian and European personalities in the 20th century.

The purpose of this paper is to suggest and analyze a way to narrate the French-Prussian War through images and in particular the resounding defeat of Sedan, from the point of view of the defeated. Through this method one can deduce how the pictorial genre of battles evolved in time as well as understand how the story can be told from different perspectives. In this particular case the obvious objective is to transform the defeat either into a determined and valorous defense or at least in a glorious defeat. Apologetics paintings arise and develop in France, which, starting from the Napoleonic defeat in Waterloo, express always and in any case (at any rate?), the virtue of the troops and highlight those moments in which the commanding officers and soldiers distinguished themselves by accomplishing deeds worthy of praise. Apologetic painting, which arises and develops in France, starting from the Napoleonic defeat in Waterloo tends to express always somehow the valor of the troops and highlights.

Activist Advocates. France and Italy in the Twentieth Century. Lawyers who are considered in this paper are called in Usa cause lawyers, in France and Italy activist advocates. Their peculiarity lies in their commitment in the defense of political activists charged in trials and in the defense of victims of any violence and discrimination. The topic of causelawyering has been studied by American and French sociologists but it is quite neglected by historians. This paper aims to start a historical research by considering in a comparative perspective a group of French and Italian lawyers belonging to different generations who practiced along the XXth century. Most of them were political activists and their commitment in acting the legal profession made them witnesses of the Twentieth century. In this perspective this paper focuses lawyers of both countries engaged in the defense of Communist activists, French advocates who defended Algerian nationalists, Italian lawyers who represented in court resistant fighters accused after the Second world war, and Italian Red brigades imprisoned in the Seventies and Eighties. In the conclusion of the paper, the opening of a new research field is suggested to study lawyers commitment in the XXth century, that of trials against health and environment crimes.

This paper examines the phenomenon of intra-urban residential mobility in early 18th century Nantes. Drawing mainly on military sources (soldiers' housing lists from 1719 to 1734 identifying those authorized to house soldiers), it aims to describe this practice among the second peuple of Nantes, defined as precarious and unsettled inhabitants of the city. To do so, the paper focuses on three neighbourhoods in the city: the Saint-Léonard parish, La Fosse and the Bignon-Lestard faubourg. After having quantified and highlighted the high turnover characterizing this population, the article discusses some possible causes, including a failure to pay taxes, work that was not under guild control and seasonal mobility in the countryside. The paper then describes the most frequent instance of intra-urban mobility, door-to-door moves, and explains this practice in relation to the local oral circulation of information that resulted in a residential segmentation of the urban space.

Roger de Piles (1638-1709) adopted the dialogical form both in Dialogue sur le coloris (1673) and in Conversations sur la connoissance de la Peinture et sur le jugement qu'on doit faire des tableaux (1677). The dialectical character of the genre, the choice of French and the disuse of the Latin language, the conscious recovery of historiographic models of the past, including Italian ones, the use of digressions, the semantic distinction between couleur et coloris, the weight offered to the reader/ viewer make Roger de Piles a master of "intellectual conversation".
