Il Veneto apre, con un provvedimento temporaneo e sperimentale, all'assunzione di medici con titoli conseguiti all'estero non ancora riconosciuti in Italia. L'iniziativa, promossa dalla Giunta regionale e sostenuta dall'assessore alla Sanità Manuela Lanzarin, mira a tamponare la cronica carenza di personale nei reparti di pronto soccorso e servizi di emergenza-urgenza. I nuovi ingressi avverranno solo in assenza di graduatorie attive e saranno limitati fino al 2027.
Nel 2026 entreranno in vigore nuove regole europee per la definizione di “Paese sicuro”. Secondo il Governo, il nuovo Patto su asilo e immigrazione non consentirà più ai giudici italiani di esprimersi sull'effettiva sicurezza di un Paese, con importanti ricadute sulle politiche migratorie. Non è d'accordo l'Associazione Nazionale Magistrati, secondo cui i magistrati potranno comunque valutare fatti specifici che riguardano singoli migranti.Passiamo poi alla guerra in Ucraina, dove al fronte si fa sempre più uso di droni collegati a un filo in fibra ottica. Chilometri di cavo, avvolti su bobine, garantiscono la trasmissione diretta del segnale tra il pilota, il controller e il drone esplosivo. Una tecnica “analogica” che consente di aggirare le interferenze radio, sempre più efficaci nel neutralizzare i droni teleguidati.Infine, che futuro attende i medici a gettone in Italia? Si tratta di liberi professionisti impiegati sempre più spesso all'interno del Servizio sanitario nazionale. Una nuova legge punta a limitare fortemente questa pratica, ma molte regioni, per far fronte alla carenza di personale, sono costrette a rivolgersi all'estero per nuove assunzioni.
Esto es un extracto de la Tertulia de AutoFM que se emite cada jueves en Onda Cero Volkswagen ID.3 (ADAC, 2021-2025) su degradación de batería 1) Vehículo, contexto y objetivo de la prueba • Modelo probado: Volkswagen ID.3 Pro S (batería grande de 77 kWh). • Entidad que realiza la prueba: ADAC (mayor club automovilístico de Europa). • Duración/uso: Casi 4 años (desde mayo de 2021) y >170.000 km recorridos. • Propósito: Evaluar degradación real de la batería, eficiencia, mantenimiento y usabilidad a largo plazo para responder al miedo más habitual del comprador de un EV: la vida útil y el coste de sustitución de la batería. 2) Condiciones de uso (exigentes y “reales”) • Cargas rápidas frecuentes (más del 40 % de las sesiones). • Muchos periodos al 100 % de carga. • Temperaturas extremas (invierno y verano). • Múltiples conductores (uso en el centro técnico del ADAC en Landsberg am Lech). • Largos periodos sin uso. 3) Degradación de la batería y autonomía • Capacidad útil restante: 91 % (solo −9 % respecto al inicio). • Autonomía WLTP medida: de 438 km a 425 km (−13 km tras >170.000 km). • Medición de degradación: Test premium Aviloo (laboratorio independiente) con ±3 % de margen de error (servicio disponible para particulares en Alemania). Evolución del “estado de la batería” (%) Kilometraje Estado batería 21.749 km 96 % 46.029 km 96 % 59.166 km 96 % 69.549 km 95 % 84.264 km 94 % 87.020 km 94 % 102.505 km 93 % 128.500 km 92 % 145.810 km 91 % 169.651 km 91 % 4) Software: la gran (y positiva) sorpresa • Actualizaciones clave: especialmente desde la versión 3.2 (2023). • Efectos medidos por ADAC: • Menor consumo medio: de 20 kWh/100 km a 18,3 kWh/100 km tras 172.000 km. • Mayor potencia de carga pico: de 125 kW a >160 kW (reducción de tiempos de carga entre 10 % y 30 %). • Ejemplo práctico: con 10 % de batería, ~30 minutos para llegar al 80 % en un cargador rápido. • Mejor gestión térmica en invierno, manteniendo autonomías más estables con frío. • Planificador de rutas mejorado (tiene en cuenta tráfico y disponibilidad de puntos de carga). • Mejoras en conectividad, información al conductor y funciones remotas vía app VW Connect. 5) Consumos y comportamiento térmico • Consumo real registrado: entre 13 y 30 kWh/100 km (según trayecto, temperatura y estilo de conducción). • Gestión térmica optimizada en invierno tras actualizaciones de software. 6) Mantenimiento, averías e incidencias • Mantenimientos programados: 2 (a los 74.000 km y 176.000 km). • Incidencias relevantes (resueltas en garantía o por software): • Antena GPS defectuosa. • Cambio de la batería auxiliar de 12 V. • Fallo del mecanismo de apertura de la tapa de carga. • Conclusión ADAC: muy pocas incidencias pese al uso intensivo. 7) Valor residual y mensaje de Volkswagen • Valor de tasación actual: ~24.000 € (base de datos DAT en Alemania), depreciación considerada razonable por antigüedad y kilometraje. • Mensaje de Volkswagen (Martin Sander): “Una capacidad de batería superior al 90 % después de 160.000 km confirma que nuestros modelos ID. también son muy atractivos como vehículos de ocasión.” 8) Global de la prueba • La degradación fue menor de lo esperado (solo 9 % tras 170.000 km). • El coche “mejora con el tiempo” gracias al software: más eficiente, carga más rápido y gestiona mejor la batería. • Reforzamiento del mercado de ocasión para eléctricos cuando hay buen soporte de actualizaciones por parte del fabricante. • No todo es perfecto: interfaz táctil criticada y sistema multimedia lento. • Con software cuidado y mantenimiento correcto, la batería de un eléctrico puede durar bastante más de lo que muchos temen.

Anche alla luce della strage infinita di civili a Gaza, la Germania non riesce a condannare in modo chiaro e inequivocabile il governo israeliano. E anche le manifestazioni di solidarietà con i palestinesi sono spesso viste con sospetto, quando non vietate o represse con durezza dalla polizia. Ne parliamo con Giulio Galoppo e con Phil, giovane attivista Pro Pal di Berlino. Angelo Rusconi di Medici senza frontiere ci descrive poi l'inferno che è oggi Gaza. Von Cristina Giordano.

Roberto Fassina"Lilith"Apogeo Editorehttps://www.remweb.it/scheda-libro/roberto-fassina/lilith-9791281386310-228.htmlI quindici racconti di questo libro spaziano dalla fiaba al testo satirico e alla narrazione filosofica e sono legati da un fil rouge di riflessioni sul senso della vita, la sofferenza e la morte. Le storie si susseguono, si intrecciano, fanno sorridere e rattristano, esplorando la realtà con curiosità e ironia, descrivendo personaggi autentici o improbabili. A volte prevalgono i dialoghi, altre volte il diario silenzioso, altre ancora l'ambiente e il contesto storico. Tuttavia è il pensiero la cifra che caratterizza l'intero libro: pensare genera pensieri, utili per raggiungere un livello di consapevolezza maggiore. Alcuni racconti hanno un carattere fortemente simbolico: "Il premio letterario" è una critica fantozziana al sottobosco poetico italiano, fatto di business e premi di consolazione. "Lilith", che dà il titolo alla raccolta, è la trasposizione metaforica della prima donna single, ripudiata da Adamo, ribelle e amorale, interiormente libera e sessualmente emancipata, demonizzata nel tempo dalla cultura maschilista. "Piccola storia" e "Argo" rappresentano il mondo animale e ambientale, con riflessioni sull'uso dannoso del territorio da parte dell'uomo. "Eden" e "Il pellegrino" si sviluppano sul piano ontologico biblico; altri racconti come "Sara", "Il musicante" e "Il porta parola" contengono profili onirici e surreali. "El Ciuna" e "L'intervista" narrano l'umanità, con le sue debolezze e astuzie. Infine, altri quattro racconti sono incentrati satiricamente sul mondo medico e sulle nevrosi dei pazienti.Roberto Fassina è nato a Curtarolo (Padova) il 18/12/50. Dopo la maturità classica, conseguita nel 1968 presso il Collegio Salesiano Manfredini di Este, si è iscritto alla Facoltà di Medicina e Chirurgia dell'Università di Padova, dove si è laureato nel 1975 e poi specializzato in Ginecologia nel 1979.

[Summer of Epics]Far from being round and regular, “baroque pearls” have strange and unique shapes. Long considered wonders of nature, they inspired goldsmiths throughout the Renaissance and into the Baroque and Neo-Classical periods. Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici, known as the last descendent of the House of Medici, had a passion for such pearls.Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

En #HoyEsRisco del miércoles 22 de junio…Gonzalo Hernández Licona, Secretario ejecutivo del Coneval entre 2005 y 2019, comentó sobre las funciones de Medición de Pobreza y Evaluación Integral de la Política de Desarrollo Social, que asumió el INEGI. En la sección Mapa y Territorio, Lisa Sánchez, directora de México Unido Contra la Delincuencia, realizó un balance sobre la Estrategia Nacional contra la Extorsión presentada el pasado 6 de julio por el Gobierno Federal. Paulina Chavira, en la sección Hagámonos de Palabras, platicó sobre cómo nos reímos por escrito, pues la RAE precisó que debemos escribir es “ja,ja,ja,ja”.

Fernando del Collado conversa con Fernanda García, académica y directora de sociedad del Instituto Mexicano para la Competitividad, IMCO, quien llama al gobierno de Claudia Sheinbaum a cumplir con sus promesas de atacar la impunidad y la corrupción como se comprometió al llegar a la Presidencia, “está en sus compromisos, dicen que la combaten y espero que realmente podamos ver un cambio”, señala. Pero también convoca a los ciudadanos a no callar ante las corruptelas, “hoy, el silencio y la impunidad ante la corrupción son un gran daño al país”, advierte. Para la académica del IMCO, la violencia, la extorsión y la impunidad “son hechos verificables y no percepciones”. García señala que “los gobiernos se evalúan por sus hechos y esperemos que al final de este sexenio pueda cambiar, aunque sea un poco esta realidad”. Por ello, urge a establecer un diálogo con los diversos gobiernos para implementar políticas públicas, que convoque y escuche a la sociedad civil, a la academia y el sector empresarial, “cuando no buscamos combatir la corrupción, nos volvemos cómplices”, sentencia. Fernanda García es una de las cabezas visibles del recientemente creado, el pasado 10 de julio, Consorcio por la Medición y la Evidencia que reúne a cinco organizaciones civiles y formado en clara respuesta a la eliminación del Coneval ordenado por el gobierno de Sheinbaum, “no queremos sustituir al Coneval pero sí revisar la medición de la pobreza”. Y aunque reconoce que en el último sexenio se disminuyó los índices de pobreza en el país, todavía subsiste un “uso asistencial, paliativo y electoral de los pobres”, recuerda. La especialista en políticas públicas, llama a defender la institucionalidad democrática “a este país le costó mucho llegar a la democracia y hay que aferrarnos a ella”. Y señala que “queremos impulsar la civilidad” ya que “nuestro roll como sociedad civil es evaluar la aplicación y eficacia de la administración gubernamental como dar seguimiento y revisión a los políticos”.

Before the Mona Lisa became one of the most famous and beloved paintings in the world, it sat in obscurity for hundreds of years away from the public eye. During that time, no one would have considered it the timeless, classic masterpiece that it is today. How did that change? Who decides what is worthy of the title “classic” and is it possible to have classics in our modern age? Rochelle Gurstein is an intellectual historian, critic, and fellow at the New York Institute for the Humanities. Her latest book, Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art explores what it means for something to be labeled “classic” and how the notion of the classics has evolved over centuries. Rochelle and Greg discuss the historical fluidity of aestheticism and taste, the shifting perception of iconic artworks, and unearth the forgotten contributions of critics and artists who shaped our understanding of what it means for art to transcend time. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is the world being threatened by new art?42:07: One of the things that I try to trace in the book is this idea that one's world is being threatened by new art, and the sense that it's not the importance—by the 19th century and the 20th century—of what is at stake. It's not just that there is another work of art in the world, or a style that has entered the world. Instead, it is that a whole sensibility, taste, worldview is under attack.What is the strongest foundation for a classic?52:39: The strongest foundation for a classic is when artists keep a work alive in their own practice. So that, as long as people could still see the Venus de' Medici in the works of all the artists who took it as the exemplar, they would continue to love it because they were all part of a continuum—an aesthetic continuum, a moral continuum—that, in the 20th century and 21st century, became harder and harder to maintain, because contemporary art shifted so dramatically every 10, 20 years—every other year these days. The way that we could keep art alive from the past is: the more we know about what other people have said about it—the people who have loved it, or the people who have not loved it.What really keeps art alive57:00: The practice of art itself—what artists are doing, not what collectors or museums and all the rest are doing, which is, of course, important. But I do not think that that is the most important thing. I think the artist's practice and what they are keeping alive. And then knowing enough, caring enough about the art of the past, to try to understand what their aims were, and knowing it changed over time, and that these works were loved or not loved at different moments of time—and why?Show Links:Recommended Resources:RaphaelVenus de' MediciJoshua ReynoldsWilliam HazlittJohn RuskinStudies in the History of the Renaissance by Walter PaterGiovanni MorelliRoger FryGuest Profile:Fellow Profile at New York Institute for the Humanities Professional WebsiteGuest Work:Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in ArtThe Repeal of Reticence: America's Cultural and Legal Struggles over Free Speech, Obscenity, Sexual Liberation, and Modern Art

Niccolò Machiavelli è uno degli autori più famosi e controversi della letteratura italiana. Il suo capolavoro "Il Principe" continua a influenzare la politica e la filosofia moderne dopo cinquecento anni. Questo articolo ti aiuterà a comprendere meglio la vita, le opere e l'eredità di questo straordinario pensatore fiorentino, con esempi pratici per migliorare il tuo italiano. Niccolò Machiavelli e "Il Principe": Spiegazione Facile e Chiara Chi Era Niccolò Machiavelli: Biografia e Contesto Storico Niccolò Machiavelli nacque a Firenze nel 1469, in un'epoca turbolenta per l'Italia. Il Paese era diviso in numerosi stati indipendenti che combattevano costantemente tra loro, mentre potenze straniere come Francia e Spagna cercavano di conquistare territori italiani. Machiavelli non proveniva da una famiglia nobile o ricca. Era quello che oggi chiameremmo un "funzionario pubblico" o "diplomatico". Lavorava per la Repubblica di Firenze occupandosi di politica estera e affari militari. Questa esperienza pratica gli permise di osservare da vicino come funzionava realmente il potere politico. Vocabolario utile: Repubblica = forma di governo senza re Diplomatico = persona che rappresenta il suo paese all'estero Politica estera = relazioni con altri paesi Affari militari = questioni riguardanti l'esercito La Caduta Politica e l'Esilio: Il Momento che Cambiò Tutto Nel 1512, la vita di Machiavelli cambiò drammaticamente. La famiglia dei Medici tornò al potere a Firenze dopo aver sconfitto la Repubblica. Machiavelli, che aveva servito la Repubblica, venne immediatamente licenziato dal suo incarico. Peggio ancora, venne accusato di congiura (complotto) contro i Medici e fu torturato. Dopo essere stato liberato, si ritirò nella sua piccola villa di campagna a Sant'Andrea in Percussina, vicino a Firenze. Era politicamente morto a soli 44 anni. Espressioni idiomatiche italiane: "Essere licenziato" = perdere il lavoro "Politicamente morto" = non avere più potere o influenza politica "Ritirarsi" = andare via, appartarsi La Nascita de "Il Principe": Un Capolavoro Nato dall'Esilio Fu proprio durante questo periodo di esilio forzato che Machiavelli scrisse la sua opera più famosa. In una lettera all'amico Francesco Vettori, descrive poeticamente la sua routine quotidiana: "La sera tornavo a casa, entravo nel mio studio e mi spogliavo di quella veste cotidiana, piena di fango e di loto. Mi vestivo di panni reali e curiali, e così vestito decorosamente entravo nelle antiche corti degli antichi uomini..." Questa citazione è molto importante per comprendere l'approccio di Machiavelli. Durante il giorno era un contadino che lavorava la terra, ma la sera si trasformava in un intellettuale che dialogava mentalmente con i grandi pensatori del passato. Analisi del testo: "Veste cotidiana" = vestiti di tutti i giorni "Fango e loto" = sporcizia del lavoro nei campi "Panni reali e curiali" = vestiti eleganti, da corte "Antiche corti degli antichi uomini" = il mondo dei grandi pensatori del passato Le Teorie Politiche Fondamentali de "Il Principe" "Il Principe" non è un romanzo o un'opera poetica. È un manuale pratico di politica, una specie di "how to" del Rinascimento. Machiavelli stabilisce regole precise per conquistare e mantenere il potere politico. La Doppia Natura del Principe Secondo Machiavelli, un buon principe deve saper utilizzare due nature: quella dell'uomo e quella della bestia. Come scrive nel capitolo XVIII: "Bisogna essere volpe per riconoscere le trappole e leone per spaventare i lupi." Questo significa che un leader deve essere: Astuto come una volpe = intelligente, capace di capire gli inganni Forte come un leone = coraggioso, capace di imporre rispetto Essere Temuti o Essere Amati? Una delle frasi più famose de "Il Principe" riguarda questa domanda fondamentale. Machiavelli scrive:
En entrevista para MVS Noticias con Daniel Guerra, en ausencia de Ana Francisca Vega, Fernanda García, del IMCO, habló sobre que ante la desaparición del Coneval, organizaciones civiles, académicas y think tanks crean el Consorcio por la Medición y la Evidencia para seguir evaluando la pobreza y la política social en México.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Award winning author Daco Auffenorde stopped by Authors on the Air to chat about her new highly-anticipated book, The Medici Curse. Ana de 'Medici inherits the family estate in Tuscany, a place fraught with unsettling tragedy and fragmented memories. Her last recollection of the place was on the night her mother died in a tragic accident. Or was it? Anna can't remember the night and many of the locals aren't pleased to see the return of the woman they suspect had a hand in her mother's demise. Her mother wore a priceless heirloom necklace, missing since that horrible night. Many believe it's cursed, dooming all those who dare wear the Medici Falchion. An atmospheric, gothic tale of a woman trying to find what the past holds, and she might not be prepared for what lurks in the present. Listen to Daco describe the underpinnings of The Medici Curse, the characters, and how the Tuscan countryside seems so vivid.

Consciencia cuántica Nos visita Álex Escolà-Gascón, psicólogo y estadístico, doctor en Ciencias de la Medición y profesor de Metodología en la Universidad Pontificia Comillas. Escolà ha realizado un estudio recientemente que tiene que ver con la cuántica. Y han descubierto él y sus colegas, que hay información cuántica que, a través de la memoria, se transfiere desde los niveles extremadamente pequeños (o sea, lo cuántico), hasta el comportamiento humano, nuestro aprendizaje, pensamiento y decisiones. Lo han bautizado con el nombre de “patrones latentes de información”. La Universidad de Indiana (a través del Prof. Busemeyer) están usando justamente este descubrimiento para mejorar posibles tecnologías computacionales para optimizar las formas en las que aprendemos.

The Medici name still carries echoes of power and labyrinthine politics. But the Medici got their start as bankers, and built a financial empire that spanned fifteenth-century Europe. Popes, kings, and merchants all did business with the Medici, and the family's power over Florence grew out of its fiscal wizardry - at least until it all fell apart.Patrick's book is now available!

The House of Medici, which ruled over Florence for much of the Renaissance period, established a political dynasty with influence built on successful ventures in commerce and banking. The Medicis predated the concept of geoeconomic power, or governments' ability to wield economic might to achieve geopolitical and economic goals. Today, soft power might be giving way to intensifying competition between great powers. Government leaders are increasingly focused on solidifying economic security through trade leverage, tariffs, sanctions and other measures. As a result, potential new investment risks and opportunities are emerging. This episode of The Outthinking Investor discusses how investors can measure their portfolio's exposure to geoeconomic shifts, which economies and sectors could benefit amid a realignment in supply chains, whether the US dollar can maintain its global dominance, and investment strategies that could potentially mitigate risk and capitalize on new opportunities. Our guests are: Matteo Maggiori, finance professor at the Stanford Graduate School of Business Joseph Nye, political scientist and former Dean of Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government Mehill Marku, Lead Geopolitical Analyst at PGIM Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Una región que desde siempre ha estado al centro de la historia italiana La historia de la Toscana abarca un larguísimo período de tiempo, que va desde la prehistoria a nuestros días, siendo crucial el período a partir del Medioevo, por el nacimiento de la lengua italiana. Empieza en el siglo VIII a.C.: con los Etruscos, vencidos después por el Imperio Romano. Después de la caída del Imperio Romano, la región pasó a ser dominada por los ostrogodos y los bizantinos, antes de ser objeto de la conquista por parte de los Longobardos (569), que la erigieron a ducado con sede en Lucca (Ducado de Tuscia). En el siglo XI Pisa se convirtió en la ciudad más potente de la Toscana, con la extensión de dominio de República Marinera a casi toda la Toscana tirrenica (del Mar Tirreno). Alrededor del siglo XII empieza el período de los Ayuntamientos libres, y Lucca se convierte en el primer comune (ciudad importante) de Italia. Nacen las primeras formas de democracia participativa y las primeras asociaciones de artes y oficios, que hicieron de la Toscana un irrepetible ejemplo de autonomía cultural, social y económica. Entre las ciudades de la región se destaca enseguida, por motivos culturales, sociales y económicos, el Comune-Signoria de Firenze. Entre los años 300 y 400, gracias a la gran cantidad de literatos ilustres y artistas, la Toscana, y en manera especial la ciudad de Firenze dieron un grande con tributo al Renacimiento Italiano. A partir del siglo XII también la Toscana se fragmentó en una numerosa cantidad de estados, entre los cuales la República de Firenze y la República de Siena eran los más importantes. Durante el siglo XV subió al poder la familia Medici que, como las mayores familias florentinas, se había enriquecido gracias a los bancos y había obtenido relevancia política en las instituciones republicanas a partir de la mitad del 1400. A partir de Lorenzo il Magnífico, el poder mediceo se consolidó y Cosimo de' Medici obtuvo el título de Duca de la Toscana primero, y más tarde, en el 1569, el de Granduca de Toscana. La familia Medici continuó a reinar en toda la Toscana ininterrumpidamente hasta el 1737. El Granducado de la Toscana, pasó a la familia de los Lorena. La innvovación más importante de los Lorena, bajo el Granduca Pietro Leopoldo, fue la abolición de la pena de muerte, que en aquella época fue una innovación de vital importancia. La única interrupción durante la soberanía de los Lorena fue el paréntesis napoleónico que duró hasta el 1814. El último Granduca de la Toscana fue Leopoldo II que reinó hasta la entrada del territorio en el naciente estado unitario italiano. El período lorenense (de los Lorena) fue para la Toscana un período iluminado, a partir del gobierno de Pietro Leopoldo (que reformó el ordenamiento judiciario), hasta el último granduca que obtuvo resultados muy positivos, con la construcción de los primeros ferrocarriles, la creación del catastro y la mejora de la Maremma (zona costera de la Toscana). El pasaje al Estado Unitario Italiano fue fruto de un plebiscito, promovido por el Gobierno Provisorio de la Toscana, que decretó la anexión al Reino de Sardegna y como consecuencia al naciente Reino de Italia. En espera del traslado de la capital a Roma, lo cual sucedió en el 1870, Firenze hospedó el gobierno de la nación durante cinco años, convirtiéndose en el centro, no solo de la cultura, sino además, de la política italiana. La historia de la Toscana se identifica, a partir de este momento, con la del Estado Italiano, del cual forma parte, a pesar de conservar una especificidad que la distingue de las otras regiones.
Florence was founded in the 1st century BCE as a Roman military outpost, although it came to prominence as a centre of commerce and the arts in the 14th to 16th centuries CE. The Florentine method of speech even became the Italian language. Some of the city's most famous exports are Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Michelangelo, and Niccolo Machiavelli, along with the Medici family. You can see the tombs of Galileo, Michelangelo, and Machiavelli in the Basilica of Santa Croce. But that's not all you can find in this Tuscan city. From the mythological scenes to statues of Roman gods present in the Uffizi, Florence has a range of odd curiosities and folk traditions that are worth seeing.

Why was Galileo's scientific work considered both something worth celebrating and a threat to the status quo? Galileo himself must have pondered that question as his work, celebrated as it was by the Medici and even high-ranking members of the Church, nonetheless caught the attention of the Roman Inquisition.

Send us a textThe Court of Lorenzo the Magnificent Part 6 of 6: Architecture This episode looks at the most significant works of Lorenzo's court architect and dear friend, Giuliano da Sangallo. Among his most important designs, Sangallo was the chief architect and designer behind the Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, a countryside escape for Lorenzo that would serve as a prototype for Renaissance villas that came after. Additionally, Lorenzo and Sangallo were involved in the design and creation of the splendid church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato. Overall, this podcast addresses the way Sangallo served as Lorenzo's chief architect, as well as the way in which he remains an essential figure in understanding Renaissance architecture as a whole. Sangallo was a dedicated follower of Filippo Brunelleschi and Leon Battista Alberti, as well as an expert on the rules of classical architecture. Works Discussed: Giuliano da Sangallo, Medici Villa at Poggio a Caiano, begun 1485. http://www.museumsinflorence.com/musei/villa-poggio-a-caiano.htmlGiuliano da Sangallo, Santa Maria delle Carceri, Prato, 1495. https://www.cittadiprato.it/en/Sezioni/content.aspx?XRI=186Support/Watch/Follow: https://linktr.ee/italian_renaissance_podcastGet additional content by becoming a Patron: patreon.com/TheItalianRenaissancePodcast Support the show

El último de los grandes saqueos de Roma tuvo lugar entre el 6 y el 14 de mayo de 1527. Ha pasado a la historia como el Saco de Roma y en aquel momento supuso un evento de la máxima importancia. Los responsables fueron las tropas imperiales de Carlos V y no sólo representó la caída simbólica de la Ciudad Eterna, sino que tuvo profundas consecuencias políticas, religiosas y culturales que resonaron durante años. Pero, para entender como el ejército del rey católico pudo saquear el mismo corazón de la cristiandad, hay que comprender antes aquel momento histórico. En la década de 1520 Europa estaba inmersa en las guerras de Italia, una serie conflictos entre españoles y franceses por el control de la península itálica. Carlos V, emperador del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico y rey de España, buscaba consolidar su dominio frente a Francia y sus aliados. El papa Clemente VII, de la familia Medici, auspició la Liga de Cognac en 1526 en la que se aliaba con Francia, Venecia, Florencia y Milán para contrarrestar el poder imperial. Esta alianza provocó la ira de Carlos V, quien, aunque no ordenó directamente el asalto, permitió que sus tropas, mal pagadas y descontentas, actuaran a su antojo. Las fuerzas imperiales, unos 20.000 efectivos —españoles, alemanes (muchos de ellos luteranos) e italianos—, capitaneados por el condestable Carlos de Borbón, marcharon hacia Roma tras varios meses de campaña en el norte de Italia. Agotados y sin salario, veían en la rica ciudad papal una inmejorable oportunidad de botín. El 6 de mayo irrumpieron en Roma tras un breve asedio. La muerte del condestable de Borbón en el asalto inicial dejó a las tropas sin liderazgo, lo que desató un caos aún mayor. Los soldados saquearon la ciudad durante días. Tomaron al asalto palacios, iglesias, conventos y monasterios. Obras de arte de valor incalculable fueron destruidas o robadas mientras miles de romanos padecían la ira de la soldadesca en carne propia. Clemente VII se refugió en el castillo de Sant’Angelo, pero no pudo evitar ni la humillación de Roma ni su caída. El saco no fue solo una cuestión de pillaje, sino un ataque cargado de simbolismo. Para los soldados luteranos, Roma representaba la corrupción de la Iglesia católica, por lo que su furia se dirigió contra los símbolos religiosos. La ciudad, quedó severamente afectada y muchos artistas e intelectuales huyeron de allí. Carlos V, muy disgustado por el comportamiento de su ejército, se terminó saliendo con la suya obligando al Papa Clemente a capitular a cambio de liberarle de su cautiverio. La humillación del papado fortaleció a los reformistas protestantes y alimentó el cisma en Inglaterra ya que Clemente VII trató de congraciarse con el emperador negando la nulidad matrimonial a Enrique VIII, que quería separarse de su tía Catalina de Aragón. Tras el Saco de Roma la autoridad papal quedó en entredicho y tardó mucho en recuperar su prestigio. La consecuencia más directa de este acontecimiento fue la decisión de convocar un concilio en Trento para rematar la reforma del catolicismo. El Papa se negaba a ello por temor a un retorno al conciliarismo del siglo anterior, pero no le quedó más remedio que ceder tras comprobar que no podía provocar al emperador sin atenerse a las consecuencias. Para hablar de este episodio que tanta relevancia ha tenido en la historia de Europa, nos acompaña hoy Yeyo Balbás, historiador y autor de “Los cuatro pilares”, una novela histórica en clave de thriller ambientada en el saco de Roma.
