Tracing the genetic origin of Europe’s first farmers reveals insights into their social organization
2014
Farming was established in Central Europe by the Linearbandkeramik culture (LBK), a well-investigated archaeological horizon, which emerged in the Carpathian Basin, in today's Hungary. However, the genetic background of the LBK genesis has not been revealed yet. Here we present 9 Y chromosomal and 84 mitochondrial DNA profiles from Mesolithic, Neolithic Starčevo and LBK sites (7th/6th millennium BC) from the Carpathian Basin and south-eastern Europe. We detect genetic continuity of both maternal and paternal elements during the initial spread of agriculture, and confirm the substantial genetic impact of early farming south-eastern European and Carpathian Basin cultures on Central European p…
Fango pannonico. Un paradigma populista per Miroslav Krleza
2019
As an obsessive keyword, the Pannonian mud appears in several writings of Miroslav Krleza. It represents the core of Croatian periphery, in particular the Podravina region, which was for long time untouched by modernity, and oppressed by feudal governments even after the fall of the Austrian Empire, from 1918 onwards. In this timeless place watered by the river Drava, the mud acquires a paradigmatic role like a phenomenon that causes historical conflicts. However, its ambiguous status of metahistorical symbol of a long lasting collapse is a contradictory factor, because of the consequences arising from it are unpredictable. As a contribute to this paradoxical attitude some images occur in K…
Wizerunek cudzoziemca w świetle Pamiętników z czasów Jana Sobieskiego, króla polskiego, Kazimierza Sarneckiego (1629–1696)
2013
Pamiętnik Kazimierza Sarneckiego należy do najczęściej wykorzystywanych źródeł do epoki Jana III Sobieskiego. Wspomnienia tego rezydenta na dworze Jana III, działającego z poruczenia kanclerza wielkiego litewskiego Karola Stanisława Radziwiłła, uzupełniają fakty znane z pamiętników Philippe Pierre de Noyersa, Philippe Duponta, Francois-Paulina d’Aleyraca i sekretarza ambasady francuskiej kawalera de Mongrillona. Wyróżniają się także dlatego, że mocodawcą Sarneckiego był siostrzeniec monarchy, syn Katarzyny z Sobieskich, primo voto Zasławskiej, a secundo voto Radziwiłłowej. Kazimierzowi Sarneckiemu zawdzięczamy szczegółowy obraz życia codziennego Jana III i jego rodziny w ostatnich latach ży…

Dizionari e storie della musica nei paesi slavi dell'Europa centro-orientale. Riflessioni su un rapporto complesso
2019
The essay identifies key patterns in a group of music dictionaries printed in some Slavic Central-Eastern European lands from the time of national awakening to the 20th-century’s post war period. The common approach of first Polish, Bohemian, and Croatian lexica imply the difficulty in choosing between two different criteria. Given that the three lands were under the administration of Prussian, Russian and Austrian governments, the problem emerged either in creating an exclusive list of names based on the concept of nationality, or in writing an inclusive list of “stranger” and domestic musicians, who contributed together to the development of music culture. Except a rare case, the second o…
Nation and/or Homeland: Identity in 19th-Century Music and Literature between Central and Mediterranean Europe
2012
The aim of this book is to focus on the development of national awareness elaborated around a series of different case studies, in which the terms nation, homeland and people have been applied. This Romantic lexicon identifies similar but various conceptions of the national idea in some countries dominated by Italian, German and Slavic cultures, and in some groups or minorities such as the Jews and the Vlachs in Central and Mediterranean Europe. In order to clarify the cultural framework, the authors explore the construction of identity through folk tunes, poetry inspired by popular culture, and opera in which the national myths or heroes appear. In the self-making tradition, the national t…

Response to Comment on "Ancient DNA from the First European Farmers in 7500-Year-Old Neolithic Sites"
2006
The discovery of mitochondrial type N1a in Central European Neolithic skeletons at a high frequency enabled us to answer the question of whether the modern population is maternally descended from the early farmers instead of addressing the traditional question of the origin of early European farmers.
