Download or read book Guicciardini Dialogue on the Government of Florence written by Francesco Guicciardini and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-06-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first translation into English of Guicciardini's Dialogue on the Government of Florence. Written in the early 1520s by the author of the famous History of Italy, as well as a History of Florence and Political Maxims and Reflections, this dialogue presents what is arguably the most searching and comprehensive analysis of the politics of his times. Like Machiavelli, his contemporary and friend, Guicciardini rejects classical republican arguments in the name of the new political realism and acknowledges the important role of patronage and graft in contemporary politics and the illegitimacy of nearly all forms of political power. In this Dialogue he provides one of the clearest expositions of the term 'reason of state', which he was one of the first to employ and which he uses to justify the priority of state interest over private morality and religion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travels in America and Italy, Vol. 1 of 2 I have nothing particular to say respecting the Travels in America here submitted to the reader: the narrative of them is taken, like the subject of The Natchez, from the original manuscript of the latter work. These T ravels carry with them their commentary and their history. My different works contain frequent recollections of my peregrinations in America. I thought at first to collect them and to introduce them under their proper dates into my narrative, but I relinquished this intention to avoid in serting them twice; I have therefore contented myself with referring to these passages. Some, however, I have quoted when they appeared necessary to the due understanding of the text, and were not too long.

Download or read book The Architecture of Modern Italy written by Terry Kirk and published by Princeton Architectural Press. This book was released on 2005-06-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Modern Italy”may sound like an oxymoron. For Western civilization,Italian culture represents the classical past and the continuity of canonical tradition,while modernity is understood in contrary terms of rupture and rapid innovation. Charting the evolution of a culture renowned for its historical past into the 10 modern era challenges our understanding of both the resilience of tradition and the elasticity of modernity. We have a tendency when imagining Italy to look to a rather distant and definitely premodern setting. The ancient forum, medieval cloisters,baroque piazzas,and papal palaces constitute our ideal itinerary of Italian civilization. The Campo of Siena,Saint Peter’s,all of Venice and San Gimignano satisfy us with their seemingly unbroken panoramas onto historical moments untouched by time;but elsewhere modern intrusions alter and obstruct the view to the landscapes of our expectations. As seasonal tourist or seasoned historian,we edit the encroachments time and change have wrought on our image of Italy. The learning of history is always a complex task,one that in the Italian environment is complicated by the changes wrought everywhere over the past 250 years. Culture on the peninsula continues to evolve with characteristic vibrancy. Italy is not a museum. To think of it as such—as a disorganized yet phenomenally rich museum unchanging in its exhibits—is to misunderstand the nature of the Italian cultural condition and the writing of history itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Years in Italy, Vol. 1 of 2 One lovely morning, early in July of the year 1852, we stood upon the deck of a steamer about to proceed to Antwerp, I and my two companions were watching the bustling scene of preparation for departure, while the hell was summoning all those who intended to be amongst the number of passengers, and when its last warning peal had rung, when the loud roaring in the boiler ceased, when the cord which had fastened us to the land was flung back upon the vessel, and she began to move along the waters, imagination had become fact.

From the Ecclesiastical State I presume not to imagine myself correct in every thing which I have advanced. The occupation of a nurse has often prevented me from obtaining accurate knowledge on points worthy of minute investigation. Nevertheless, gen eral outlines will sometimes convey tolerably just ideas of a.

The illustrations are chie y from photographs, in the prepara tion of which the Italians sustain their reputation for artistic excellence.
