Download or read book The Natural History of a Neapolitan Miracle written by Francesco de Ceglia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Naples’s patron saint, Gennaro, the history of his blood relic, and the mystery of its periodical liquefaction. Three times a year, Neapolitans gather to witness the recurring phenomenon of the liquefaction of San Gennaro’s blood. From the seventeenth century to the present, crowds have prayed to the city’s patron for protection from fires, earthquakes, plagues, droughts, and the fury of Mt. Vesuvius. In the “miraculous” moment of transposition from solid to liquid, the faithful seek respite from the ills of the world in the saintly blood, a visual reminder of the blood of Christ spilled for their salvation. In Naples, the periodical liquefaction of San Gennaro’s blood is not officially recognized as miraculous by the Catholic Church, which now more cautiously refers to it as a prodigy. Nevertheless, for centuries, this phenomenon has been called “a miracle” in liturgical texts approved by the ecclesiastical authority and in the words of bishops, cardinals, popes, and saints. However, not everyone agreed. This volume follows the efforts of theologians, alchemists, charlatans, and scientists who, through the centuries, have tried to answer questions such as: Is the liquefaction of San Gennaro’s blood really a miracle? If not, how is it possible to explain a phenomenon that occurs only on dates liturgically relevant to the saint? The Natural History of a Neapolitan Miracle will be of great value to those interested in Religious Studies, Italian Studies, Medieval and Early Modern Studies, as well as the History of Science, Anthropology, and Ethnography.

Book excerpt: The book analyses from a comparative perspective the exploration of territories, the histories of their inhabitants, and local natural environments during the long eighteenth century. The eleven chapters look at European science at home and abroad as well as at global scientific practices and the involvement of a great variety of local actors in the processes of mapping and recording. Dealing with landlocked territories with no colonies (like Switzerland) and places embedded in colonial networks, the book reveals multifarious entanglements connecting these territories.

Download or read book Caravaggio written by DavidM. Stone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As this collection of essays makes clear, the paths to grasping the complexity of Caravaggio?s art are multiple and variable. Art historians from the UK and North America offer new or recently updated interpretations of the works of seventeenth-century Italian painter Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio and of his many followers known as the Caravaggisti. The volume deals with all the major aspects of Caravaggio?s paintings: technique, creative process, religious context, innovations in pictorial genre and narrative, market strategies, biography, patronage, reception, and new hermeneutical trends. The concluding section tackles the essential question of Caravaggio?s legacy and the production of his followers-not only in terms of style but from some highly innovative strategies: concettismo; art marketing and the price of pictures; self-fashioning and biography; and the concept of emulation.
Download or read book Le Ragioni dell Essere written by Dr. Gennaro Di Fazio and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-01-17 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La trama del libro Con questo libro, l’autore, partendo dal paradigma dei sistemi complessi , la cui struttura è qualcosa di molto diversa nonché superiore alla semplice somma delle singoli parti che li compongono, cerca di unire gli Uomini, tra loro e con la Natura, in un unico progetto di speranza e ottimismo. Benché, in relazione alla sua professione di Medico, egli estende detto paradigma soprattutto al campo della Medicina, vi sono tuttavia dei collegamenti anche con altre discipline umanistiche e con le varie vicende umane e istituzionali, al fi ne di indurre, con le idee che propone, attività e comportamenti verso il cosiddetto “Bene comune”. Non a caso come copertina ha scelto la foto di un’alba estiva - quella di Ponza, la sua isola nativa - come simbolo di nascita di un nuovo e radioso giorno. La motivazione del titolo, “Le ragioni dell’Essere”, può essere riassunta in queste frasi che si trovano all’ultimo capitolo del libro: “Siamo immersi in un più ampio progetto a più dimensioni le quali ci condizionano per un fi ne più grande della nostra umana comprensione. Esiste probabilmente una legge, un linguaggio misterioso, un progetto da compiere, per l’organismo e per la Vita in genere. Un disegno che guida gli eventi anche attraverso le generazioni, come se oltre l’ereditarietà genetica ce ne fosse una di tipo morale, una specie di nemesi,( giustizia compensatrice o giustizia divina) che si attiva e si collega a chissà quale strano meccanismo che poi giudica e sentenzia, secondo l’ordine morale delle cose”. Inoltre, per rendere la lettura più piacevole, il libro è stato arricchito con diverse citazioni e poesie. La foto della copertina e’ stata gentilmente off erta da Gennaro Mazzella da Ponza.

Book excerpt: Goods made or designed in Italy enjoy a profile which far outstrips the country's modest manufacturing output. Italy's glorious design heritage and reputation for style and innovation has 'added value' to products made in Italy. Since 1945, Italian design has commanded an increasing amount of attention from design journalists, critics and consumers. But is Italian design a victim of its own celebrity? Made in Italy brings together leading design historians to explore this question, discussing both the history and significance of design from Italy and its international influence. Addressing a wide range of Italian design fields, including car design, graphic design, industrial and interior design and ceramics, well-known designers such as Alberto Rosselli and Ettore Sottsass, Jr. and iconic brands such as Olivetti, Vespa and Alessi, the book explores the historical, cultural and social influences that shaped Italian design, and how these iconic designs have contributed to the modern canon of Italian-inspired goods.
