L’articolo si propone di presentare una poesia inedita di Luzi, rinvenuta in uno dei suoi quaderni personali, attualmente conservati al Gabinetto Vieusseux. Il componimento, intitolato Brodskij a Firenze, risale al 1995 e rappresenta la risposta dell’autore alle critiche rivoltegli da Brodskij durante la sua visita a Firenze, nella primavera dello stesso anno. Il primo paragrafo delinea il retroscena dello scontro tra i due protagonisti, che consiste nel tentativo portato avanti da Luzi di promuovere la sua opera in Svezia, attraverso l’editore Oreglia, nella speranza di vincere il Nobel. Il secondo paragrafo racconta le varie fasi della disputa: l’arrivo di Brodskij in città, le accuse da lui mosse al collega italiano di nutrire aspirazioni eccessive verso il premio svedese, la replica di Luzi sui giornali e le reazioni pubbliche e private che seguirono. Infine, nel terzo paragrafo, l’inedito viene presentato, descritto filologicamente e sottoposto a un’analisi critica.

Il presente contributo si propone di indagare i modelli, le fonti e le forme di una parte della produzione poetica della livornese Fortunata Sulgher Fantastici, detta Temira Parraside in Arcadia. Dopo aver tracciato i contorni del contesto culturale nel quale si inserisce l’acclamata improvvisatrice, si propone una piccola rassegna dei testi di soggetto omerico e virgiliano nei suoi Componimenti poetici del 1785, poi ripubblicati in Poesie nel 1794. Si procederà dunque con l’analisi dei componimenti: attraverso i personaggi di Andromaca, Briseide, Achille, Penelope e Didone, si tesse una trama di ritorni al passato risultante da un uso sapiente e incrociato dei modelli, che rendono il discorso lirico di Sulgher perfettamente coerente con la cultura del suo tempo.

Il contributo intende tracciare un profilo del fiorentino Mariotto Guiducci, frate minore e maestro d’abaco del XV secolo, autore di un trattato matematico conservato alla Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze. Attraverso risultanze archivistiche e bibliografiche edite e inedite, il caso di studio può offrire ulteriori spunti per una riflessione intorno al tema, recentemente ripreso, dei rapporti tra francescanesimo e scienze matematiche fra medioevo e rinascimento. L’indagine proposta si articola in due parti: la prima parte apre uno squarcio sulla famiglia Guiducci e l’insegnamento della matematica pratica a Firenze e a Prato, accennando alla vita conventuale e all’esperienza di insegnante di fra Mariotto; la seconda è dedicata al codice autografo e al Libro d’arismetricha in esso contenuto, espressione di una cultura matematica tipica della tradizione abacistica.

Il breve scritto rende conto degli eventi che, a partire dalla riedizione del 1999 degli Statuti del Comune fiorentino del 1322-25, hanno condotto all’edizione, nel 2023.

Nella seconda metà del Duecento connessioni politiche, economiche e letterarie uniscono Parigi e Firenze: i testi letterari e le vesti si diffondono lungo le vie di comunicazione insieme a oggetti, manoscritti, mercanti, soldati, intellettuali e viaggiatori. Gli abiti vengono comprati, rivenduti, scambiati, sottratti, donati, usati come forma di pagamento. Nei testi gli indumenti funzionano come un linguaggio abbreviato che permette di definire velocemente lo status dei personaggi e allo stesso tempo una valuta che si usa in alternativa al denaro. Tra Francia e Italia i protagonisti dei testi si riferiscono di continuo all’abitudine di usare i propri abiti come pegni per garantire un prestito. Come si vedrà nel saggio, il prestito su pegno offre agli autori e al pubblico un’oc- casione per stabilire il valore delle cose e riflettere sui rapporti tra individui, per interpretare episodi della trama e mettere in discussione la verosimiglianza e la credibilità del racconto.

The historic center of Florence, universally recognized as a monumental unicum, has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1982. Although the city is generally known worldwide as the cradle of the Renaissance, most of the city walls of the historic center date back to the latest building transformations. Through the study of the main urban transformations carried out under the government of Pietro Leopoldo up to the assignment of Florence as the capital of the kingdom of Italy, this contribution traces the urban evolution of the modern history of Florence and reflects on the image of today's city, a result of the stratification of the epochs. Furthermore, the contribution collects some examples of recent interventions carried out on the building fronts that allow us to reflect on the issues and criticalities of the conservation and safeguarding of the urban landscape in its totality and complexity.

Il contributo analizza la natura del rapporto tra violenza interpersonale e giustizia nell’Italia tardo comunale, soffermandosi sulle maniere in cui la nuova normativa sulla vendetta sviluppata dalla metà del Duecento influì sulle pratiche di conduzione e gestione dei conflitti in sede giudiziaria. Si prende in esame un processo penale svolto a Bologna nel 1306 contro due fiorentini accusato di aver commesso un assalto motivato dalla ritorsione ai danni di un esule bianco fiorentino allora residente nella città universitaria. Questo caso studio inoltre getta luce sulle conseguenze pratiche dell’incrocio tra politica e giustizia – un fenomeno che a Bologna e in altre città fu sempre più frequente a partire dai primi anni del Trecento.

Mobile phone data represents an original source of information about the movements of individuals across territories and, in particular, of visitors. The systematic use of this data for statistical purposes is expected to provide several advantages: timeliness, deeper geographical and time granularity, and reduction of the statistical burden of respondents. To check whether that expectation is well placed, this paper reports a bibliometric analysis and a subsequent literature review of the recent contributions to the use of mobile phone data in quantifying the volume of tourist flows. The main findings show that the systematic exploitation of mobile phone data for producing tourism statistics is still limited in terms of countries (Estonia, Indonesia) and domain (international flows). Furthermore, the basic definitions of visitors stated by the EU Regulation 692/2011 are rarely applied on mobile phone data, and the population of visitors/tourists is often derived as a residual group after having identified the other people movements (residents, commuters). Both the literature review and a brief case study of the Metropolitan City of Florence show the main weaknesses of mobile phone data, which include costs, privacy restrictions, statistical issues of representativeness, among others. Finally, it is clear that mobile phone data cannot completely substitute current surveys on tourism flows because they do not include some noteworthy information concerning a tourist's motivations and a trip's characteristics.

Il saggio si propone di fornire una possibile soluzione a un antico enigma che è al tempo stesso storiografico e archivistico: perché i libri contabili basso medievali e rinascimentali sono presenti negli archivi fiorentini (e più in generale toscani) con una abbondanza quasi straripante, di fronte a un panorama italiano (per non dire europeo) assai magro? Per quale motivo tra Firenze e Prato si conservano, per i secoli XIII-XVI, più libri di conto che in tutta l’Europa messa insieme? E infine, come spiegare che gli archivi familiari dei nobili fiorentini conservassero, ancora in tarda età granducale, mastri, registri di cassa e giornali redatti alcuni secoli addietro, la cui utilità pratica era apparentemente pari a zero? Lavorando su molteplici fronti, quello della storia economica, quello della storia delle tecniche e della formazione culturale, quello della storia politico-sociale, l’autore mette a confronto il caso fiorentino con quello delle altre grandi città mercantili italiane, proponendo infine una immagine di Firenze leggermente diversa da quella stereotipata di culla dell’Umanesimo.

Which is the meaning of researching and working in the field of the digital survey at the beginning of the XXIth century? Are the scholars and professionals planning procedures and strategies or just producing an enormous amount of digital data which destiny will be a colossal data loss? Starting from a reflection about “where we are” after 20 years of active digital survey for built heritage this article will try to trace some points about how to start and to plan digital survey intervention when the task is not merely professional and when the new survey bases are supposed to be used in a “liquid” context. From the massive machines and procedures of the XXth century, producing quite “light” amount of data, in the last two decades these tools passed to be lightweight in their hardware, while the amount of gathered data increased continuously, in what it seems an unstoppable process. But massive data gathering maybe it is not knowledge by itself and the information society, especially in its next evolutions, will need contents and versatile data to support and link our present to the heritage values. A specific reflection on the value of digital survey and procedures will be held here not in the pretention of finding a stable paradigm but in the will of stimulating the discussion in a field often tempted by simply technical solutions.

These article presents for the first time the text of the commission written by the Government of Florence to the ambassador Pandolfo di Giannozzo Pandolfini, that was designated to speech to the duke of Provence, Renée d’Anjou, in 1461 about an issue of piracy in Mediterranean Sea. Infact a pirate, called Scarincio, has devasted Florentine ships in the name of the duke of Provence. In consequence of this act, Pandolfo Pandolfini was sent to require an immediate intervention to stop the attacks of the pirate. These commission is relevant because it reveals the effective reason of the expedition, not only of Pandolfini but also of Filippo de’ Medici, that was sent to the duke too. It also adds new suggestions about diplomacy in the complex contest of political affairs in Fifteenth-century Europe and it notices the role of these kind of written commission in the messengers’s communication.

The paper analyses the reception of the Orpheus’ myth in Florence between the 16th and the 17th centuries, through public and private commissions that give evidence of its vitality, its symbolic value and its originality: a victorious hero for Rinuccini; a sign of Jacopo Corsi’s wealth and of the proximity to the Medici of the sponsor of Francqueville; a simple supporting role, in 1608, in Cosimo II wedding celebrations.

Lo scopo di questo saggio è offrire un'edizione dei madrigali di Mario Colonna, poeta attivo nella Firenze di Cosimo I. I madrigali di Colonna sono "petrosi", pieni di riferimenti dal mondo minerale - tutti riferiti alla sua donna. L'articolo prova a mettere in relazione i testi con la fortuna di Dante e Petrarca nel XVI secolo e vuole inserirli correttamente nella storia dei madrigali rinascimentali.

[it] L’articolo prende in esame i documenti conservati che riportano le istruzioni impartite dalle autorità di tre poteri cristiani (Corona d’Aragona, Firenze e Venezia) ai loro ambasciatori diretti al sultanato musulmano mamelucco (Egitto-Siria, 1250-1517). Lo studio comparativo di tali fonti rivela come l’interazione con il sultano e i suoi funzionari fosse programmata nelle sue diverse fasi e secondo differenti modalità di comunicazione, sia verbali (messaggio orale e scritto) sia non verbali (regali, cerimoniale). L’analisi della funzione pratica e teorica delle istruzioni conservate mostrerà come questi documenti contengano indizi essenziali per decifrare i principi e le strategie che stavano alla base del dialogo diplomatico tra le potenze cristiane e i Mamelucchi.

Igino Benvenuto Supino belongs to the small group of art historians and scientists which realized, in the end of XIX century, that the photography (understood as workshop, opportunity to a personal examination) might be able to help the knowledge about artistic heritage and contribute to the growth of Art History, a newbirth subject, and involvement related in research, educational and renovation. Supino made full use of new technique for impression of images both photographing in person and directing of Bargello, and making numerous publications, and using it as visual aid during the teaching of Art History in University of Bologna in 1907.

Florence as the capital for a new united Italy became a flourishing, and brief, centre for indian studies. This experience was always entangled with Angelo De Gubernatis's biography and initiatives and when he left for Rome, the city lost its role. Having decided to leave his rich and prolific archive in Florence's main public library meant, however, that Gubernatis returned to the city and placed it on the map of 19th century "oriental studies". Through congresses, exhibitions, museums, a worldwide network of correspondents, journals, academic teaching and travel writing and the protagonism of Angelo de Gubernatis, "oriental", "India" and "Sanskrit" became recurrent words in the Renaissance city and spaces of physical and intellectual encounter between scholars of different origins. In my paper I will also analyse how the investment in "oriental studies" became part of a strategy of affirmation of the new nation of Italy within Europe and within a wider geography were knowledge circulated through written, visual and material forms.

The first operas were often associated with princely wedding festivities, such as Jacopo Peri's Euridice (Florence, 1600) or Claudio Monteverdi's Arianna (Mantua, 1608). They formed part of a series of indoor and outdoor entertainments which, in turn, might plausibly be compared with the fresco cycles often commissioned to mark such nuptials. This also prompts reading them as epyllia, i.e. stories within the 'story' presented by their festivities as a whole. The concept is useful because their literary sources are usually themselves epyllia in an epithalamic context, as with Catullus's Poem 64 on the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Representing such embedded narratives further encouraged multiple allegories through intertextual association. Situating early opera in the context of the broader tropes of princely celebration further helped overcome one absurdity of the genre: the fact that people sing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This contribution examines the correspondence between Luigi Carrer and Florentine intellectuals and reconstructs two particularly important episodes in his intellectual biography. The first episode concerns Carrer's contacts (mediated by Niccolò Tommaseo) with Giovan Pietro Vieusseux, who eventually invited him to be a writer for the «Antologia»; the second episode (1849-50) outlines Carrer's involvement in the publication of Ugo Foscolo's Opere by Le Monnier, an enterprise of central importance to Florentine and Italian culture. The article ends with the edition of the complete and previously unpublished correspondence between Carrer and Vieusseux. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The essay analyses the spiritual experience of Caterina Cybo (1501-1557) in Cosimo de' Medici's Florence. The Duchess of Camerino was an emblematic figure of the religious and political crisis of sixteenth-century Italy. By birth bound by the Medici and the papacy, she was an educated, powerful woman who devoted herself to a restless religious research, also oriented towards heterodoxy and then, in the changed Italian climate, locked up in the private sphere. This interweaving of instances was not uncommon in noblewomen until the advent of the Counter-Reformation. Like her friend Vittoria Colonna, Caterina Cybo sought different answers to her spiritual anxieties. The noblewoman was a disciple of the Florentine mystic Domenica Narducci da Paradiso, she attended the Waldensian circle of Pietro Carnesecchi, but above all she shared the increasingly unorthodox positions of the Capuchin General Bernardino Ochino, after having favoured the creation of the Order. Cybo thus became Ochino's main interlocutor in his Dialogi sette (composed between 1532 and 1539) and was active in the diffusion of his ideas also in the public sphere. From the middle of the century, instead, she cultivated her own religiosity in private circles. The religious experience of Caterina Cybo, alien to rigid doctrinal categories, is placed in an exploratory dimension in the fluid context of the Florentine situation during the government of Duke Cosimo. This new perspective was achieved through the use of unpublished sources and a different interpretation of her profile, in keeping with recent historiographical tendencies on the Italian Reformation and the Counter-Reformation.

This article describes the advanced diagnostic technologies, which are thermography and georadar, intended for the inspection of masonry walls and the ground, and their application to the investigation of an important structure of the Heritage of Florence, Italy. Both these technologies were conceived and designed for non-contact operations in order to avoid damage to the surface. My case study is the Chiostro dei Voti of the Santissima Annunziata complex in Florence, which is one of the most important architectures in the city. The cloister dates back to the 15th century by Michelozzo. It underwent many stylistic and structural changes during the restorations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The investigation was aimed at finding evidence of the changes made by the restoration work and the impact on the physical conservation of the historical complex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
