Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a hot summer day in Italy in 1902, the brutally stabbed body of Count Francesco Bonmartini was discovered, by means of its decomposing stench, inside his locked apartment. He was a typical Italian provincial aristocrat in all but one way: he had married into a prominent but deeply troubled family. His father-in-law was one of the nation's most famous doctors. His wife, Linda, a young freethinker, was the apple of her father's eye. Linda's brother dabbled in anarchism. Linda's lover was her father's top assistant. Her relations with them were illicit, incestuous -- and murderous. The scandal that erupted was a top news story in Europe and America for three consecutive years. Investigators uncovered successive layers of a conspiracy that constantly twisted and changed its shape. The suspects included all these men as well as their servants and lovers. There was a diverse array of murder weapons, including knives, heavy pellets, and poison. There were rumors of missing accomplices. Intimate relations among many suspects were uncovered through sensational letters and testimonials. Witnesses died mysteriously. A suspect tried to kill himself. One question lingered throughout and still haunts researchers today: what role did Bonmartini's widow, Linda, known as "The Enchantress," play? Was she the spider at the center of the vast web, or did the plot originate with the key men who loved her so desperately? Scholar and writer Christina Vella combines meticulous research with a novelist's eye for a great story. As she unspools the tight, tense drama, she offers a fascinating picture of Italian society in the early 20th century, with a historian's insights into life at both the top and the bottom. From sexual dysfunctions, to prison conditions, to the patronage systems that permeated medicine, law, and politics, the Bonmartini murder provides a window into a rich world. The result is an unforgettable story and an invaluable introduction to an Italy that is still recognizable today.
Download or read book What Is Truth written by Ed Pal and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2015-01-09 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was born sixty-eight years ago; at the age of thirty I began to wonder about the purpose of Life. I had many questions in my heart but not answer. The creation reveals a great purpose; therefore I cannot believe that the Creator of all these wonders did not leave any message! I searched through the religions for answers to my questions in vain; maybe because the religions are not based on revelations but on questions. The religion that doesn’t give answers to our questions is not from God but from men! Only the True God can give the answers to all our questions! Religions, traditions and symbols are what deviate people from the Truth! I began to write this book, because the things that people believe are so absurd and untrue that it stimulated me to write something about it. For some reason I feel responsible before the Lord God if I do not do something about it. I began to read the Bible for passion; I wanted to know who created me. I cannot believe in the theory of the evolution, because it requires far more faith than to believe in God! To believe in God is easy, everything leads to Him; at the contrary nothing leads to the evolution of the species; it was a theory more than two hundred years ago, and will be a theory as long this world lasts! The Bible, besides making people wiser, reveals the entire human’s story in relation with the Creator from the beginning to the end. The story of the Bible starts with the creation and ends with a New Creation. It starts with men’s kingdom and ends with God’s Kingdom. Men’s kingdom lasted one moment; God’s Kingdom lasts forever! It starts with men’s failure and ends with the Savior’s success! Because man is created in the image of God, he thinks that by disobeying he can prove to himself to be independent as God; but the Truth reveals otherwise! May the Lord God have mercy on us!

Download or read book The Emperor s House written by Michael Featherstone and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolving from a patrician domus, the emperor's residence on the Palatine became the centre of the state administration. Elaborate ceremonial regulated access to the imperial family, creating a system of privilege which strengthened the centralised power. Constantine followed the same model in his new capital, under a Christian veneer. The divine attributes of the imperial office were refashioned, with the emperor as God's representative. The palace was an imitation of heaven. Following the loss of the empire in the West and the Near East, the Palace in Constantinople was preserved – subject to the transition from Late Antique to Mediaeval conditions – until the Fourth Crusade, attracting the attention of Visgothic, Lombard, Merovingian, Carolingian, Norman and Muslim rulers. Renaissance princes later drew inspiration for their residences directly from ancient ruins and Roman literature, but there was also contact with the Late Byzantine court. Finally, in the age of Absolutism the palace became again an instrument of power in vast centralised states, with renewed interest in Roman and Byzantine ceremonial. Spanning the broadest chronological and geographical limits of the Roman imperial tradition, from the Principate to the Ottoman empire, the papers in the volume treat various aspects of palace architecture, art and ceremonial.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second selection of studies by Frank D’Accone, again based principally on the documentary evidence, follows the development through the mid 16th century of musical chapels at the Cathedral and the Baptistery of Florence and of musical establishments at the Santissima Annunziata and San Lorenzo. The lives, careers and works of composers associated with these churches are illustrated and their works analyzed, particularly the theoretical treatise by Fra Mauro, the madrigals of Mauro Matti and the ambitiously conceived canzone cycle of Mattia Rampollini. The final studies, moving into the 17th century, look at the music for Holy Week, and the unprecedented programme of performances at Santa Maria Novella.
