Infrastructure as Interface: Thinking the Urban and the High-speed Railway Station: Italian Case-studies
2013
The recent launching in Italy of a number of large scale urban operations centered around High Speed Railway (HSR) stations has added a wealth of examples and themes to the overall European picture; these go to make up a global point of reference for other countries that are, in this period, undertaking the construction of their own HSR networks. Above and beyond the territorial questions often linked to the issue, further research investigating the architectural aspect of these operations would be highly relevant, but is rather lacking. Instead, we shall be focusing on current HSR stations in Italy, such as Turin Porta Susa, Florence Belfiore and Rome Tiburtina, and comparing them briefly,…

The Historiae Florentini populi by Poggio Bracciolini. Genesis and Fortune of an Alternative History of Florence
2020
During the last years of his life, Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), former Apostolic Secretary and Chancellor of Florence, was working on a long text that he characterized, in a letter written in 1458, as lacking a well-defined structure. This was most probably his history of the people of Florence (Historiae Florentini populi, the title given in Jacopo’s dedication copy to Frederick of Montefeltro, Duke of Urbino), revised and published posthumously by Poggio’s son, Jacopo Bracciolini (1442-1478). Contrary to what is often assumed, Poggio’s treatise was not a continuation, nor even a complement, to Leonardo Bruni’s (1370-1444) official history of Florence. It concentrates on the most recent…
Il calice di Giovanni di ser Iacobo ed altre suppellettili toscane del Trecento in Sicilia: novità su artisti e committenti
2012
La preziosa suppellettile liturgica conservata nel tesoro della Cattedrale di Messina è già nota da tempo agli studiosi perché firmata dall'orafo fiorentino Giovanni di ser Iacobo attivo alla corte reale angioina di Napoli. Il saggio, grazie alla corretta lettura della seconda iscrizione apposta sull'opera, individua la committente, la francescana suor Stefania Rufolo, la probabile destinazione originaria per un convento dell'area amalfitana e le ragioni per cui è successivamente giunta a Messina. Con l'occasione, si fa il punto anche su altre opere toscane coeve con smalti traslucidi The precious liturgical ornament preserved in the treasury of Messina Cathedral has long been known to scho…

2021
Bakalaura darbā “Kara uztvere Itālijas renesanses sabiedrībā: Florences republikas piemērs” pētīti 13. līdz 16. gadsimta avoti nolūkā izzināt Itālijas renesanses laika sabiedrības attieksmi pret karu. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir izpētīt humānisma ideālu un situācijas diktētu pragmatisku apsvērumu attiecības Itālijas renesanses sabiedrības priekšstatos par karu, balstoties uz florenciešu autoru sacerējumiem. Rezultātā noskaidrots, ka renesanses laika Florencē pragmatiskā attieksme pret karu izriet no humānisma ideāliem, kuri iedvesmo florenciešus iesaistīties karadarbībā, saskaņā ar pilsoņu patriotismu aizstāvēt tēvzemi un piekopt vērienīgu ārpolitiku. Vienlaikus pastāvēja šai situācijai pretr…

Florence Nightingale as a Victorian career woman
2016
The chapter focuses on the role of Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) in turning nursing into a trained profession and a viable and respectable career option for Victorian women seeking employment outside of the home. Nightingale's accomplishments and her thoughts on women's lot in life as expressed in her essay "Cassandra", are presented against the backdrop of the ideology of separate spheres which circumscribes women within the domestic domain. The chapter discusses Nightingale's work in British military field hospitals during the Crimean War, her successful efforts to reform the ways in which such hospitals were run, and the establishment of the Nightingale School and Home for Nurses and …
