Italy in the 1400's was a land of contradictions. The cradle of the Renaissance was encapsulated with bloody warfare and nefarious plots; beautiful and deadly. Only a backdrop such as this could produce a woman like Caterina Sfroza. Born the illegitimate daughter to one of the wealthiest men in Romagna, her upbringing was on par with any prince of Europe. She was trained to observe, calculate, hunt and fight. But most of all, she was conditioned to be loyal to her family above all others. In Part 1 of this series, we will discuss her youth. Her evolution from a child-bride to a young mother. And from a sweet and beguiling Countess to the adversary of the Vatican itself. TW: Some discussion of childhood trauma, SA.
The Prince is a political treatise, written by Niccolò Machiavelli, first distributed in 1513. It's infamous for its apparent advice to political leaders to lie, murder, and manipulate. It's still a fascinating read today, and is thought-provoking when considering any context where the true motives of actions may not be what they seem. Here, in my own words, is a summary of Niccoló Machiavelli's, The Prince. Is The Prince advice, satire, or sabotage? Machiavelli wrote The Prince while in exile from Florence. Since he opens it with a letter to Lorenzo d'Medici it seems like Machiavelli was trying to get a political position with the Medici, by demonstrating his political knowledge. (The Medici had recently returned to power in Florence, after themselves being exiled fifteen years.) But, some scholars think The Prince is satire. Others think the advice within was a ploy, in that if it were followed, the actions would weaken the power of the Medici. “The ends [justified] the means,” in Renaissance Italy Though the phrase isn't in the book, The Prince is the origin of the saying, “the ends justify the means.” In other words, if you have an important goal, morality doesn't matter. It's also the inspiration for the name of the personality trait of “Machiavellianism”, which is characterized by manipulativeness, insensitivity, and an indifference to morality. Psychologists include Machiavellianism in the “dark triad” personality traits, along with narcissism and psychopathy. Sixteenth century Italy was the perfect environment for advice like that in The Prince to flourish. There was constant conflict amongst small governing bodies, including the most-notable city-states of Florence, Milan, Rome, Naples, and Venice. Additionally, there were frequent invasions by Spain, France, or the Holy Roman Empire. If the numerous examples Machiavelli cites in The Prince are any indication, if you didn't lie, murder, and manipulate, you wouldn't stay in power, and probably would be murdered yourself. You don't have to be Machiavellian to learn from The Prince As you listen to this advice, it's not hard to think of similar, less-violent situations in our everyday lives, as we build relationships and careers, or watch others vie for power. So what is some of this juicy advice that has made The Prince and Niccolò Machiavelli so infamous? I'll break down this summary into two sections, followed by some historical examples Machiavelli cites, peppered with some quotes. Those two sections are: Gaining power Retaining power (Note this isn't how Machiavelli organizes The Prince.) 1. Gaining power First how to gain power. Machiavelli points out that the people within a state are eager to change rulers. People naturally expect change to improve their lives, so, they're willing to join in armed resistance against the ruling power. This attitude extends from the people, to other states. If a powerful foreigner invades a country, the states within want to help overturn the rule of the most-powerful state. But you have to be careful. It's normal to want to acquire more land, but when you try to do it by any means possible, you end up making dumb mistakes. How this applies to other domains As you hear this, you may already have some parallels to other domains bouncing around in your head. How many times have you bought a product just slightly different from one you already had, because you believed the change would make your life better? Marketers take advantage of this. I've read one marketing book that advised to think of the product you're marketing as a “new opportunity.” Changing leadership is a “new opportunity,” that temporarily makes you optimistic, like how we feel when a New Year comes around. But often, the new product, the new ruler, or the New Year doesn't make your life better. We get stuck in a cycle of wanting change and striving for it, only to find we aren't better off than before, which drives our desire to change once again. This is why, to quote Machiavelli: There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince In other words, you might get short-term support in the change you're trying to introduce, but the support you once had will soon wane, and those who were doing well before will try to overthrow you. 2. Retaining power This brings us to the second section, about retaining power. Being able to retain power starts with choosing carefully where and how you gain power. This is why Machiavelli warns: He who has not first laid his foundations may be able with great ability to lay them afterwards, but they will be laid with trouble to the architect and danger to the building. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince Any new state is extremely fragile, unless the person who unexpectedly gained power over that state is highly-skilled. You can gain power by getting the help of the people, or other states, but whoever helped you will probably be disappointed in what they get from it, and will no longer want to help you. Be especially careful not to make your allies much more powerful, because then they'll become threats. Additionally, they'll distrust you, because in the process of helping them, they saw how cunning you are. So, if you're invading a place, you want to be on the good side of the natives. However, if they're used to being free, you'll have to destroy them, or they'll destroy you. As Machiavelli said: Men ought to either be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince In other words, if they're dead, they can't get revenge. And: He who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince If you want to retain power in a new state, you need to start a colony there. You don't have to spend a lot on the colony, because after you take the land and houses of people, they will be, “poor and scattered,” and can't hurt you. It's important to be in the place you're ruling, because otherwise you don't find out about things that go wrong until it's too late to fix them. Statecraft is a lot of work, because, as Machiavelli says: He who has relied least on fortune is established the strongest. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince How this applies to other domains Some of this advice may resonate with situations you've experienced. Some of it may be horrifying to you. Here's how it can apply to other domains. Imagine you're a CEO, and you've just acquired a new company. It's best to get it right the first time. If you make mistakes, you'll have a hard time leading the company. When a company acquires another, or a new leader comes into a company, you often see layoffs right away. This mirrors Machiavelli's related advice, which is: Injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, they offend less; benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavor of them may last longer. —Niccolò Machiavelli The Prince If done according to Machiavelli's advice, after the brutal layoffs, there will be ice-cream socials, team-building exercises, and bonuses scattered over the coming months and years, hopefully without more massive layoffs. Whoever is in charge had better have close oversight to an office that's far away from headquarters, otherwise by the time you find out about problems, it's too late to fix them. How not to rule: King Louis XII A leader who Machiavelli uses as a warning for not ruling well is King Louis the XII, of France. The Venetians brought in King Louis, because they wanted to seize half the state of Lombardy. But they later realized, they had helped make Louis king of two-thirds of Italy. Louis was now well-positioned, but then his mistakes began. He helped Pope Alexander occupy the Romagna, divided the kingdom of Naples with the king of Spain, and turned around and tried to conquer Venice's territories. So, he weakened the minor power of Venice, losing their alliance, made a great power – the pope – even more powerful, and brought in a foreign power – Spain. He didn't settle in the land he had conquered, and didn't set up colonies. How to rule: Cesare Borgia Like Louis XII when the Venetians enlisted his help, Cesare Borgia came into power through fortune. Unlike Louis, he made what Machiavelli felt were wise decisions. Cesare was the son of Pope Alexander VI, who himself was cunning. He wanted to give Cesare a state to rule, but there weren't good options. For example, the Milanese or the Venetians would stop him, and anyone in Italy who might have helped knew better than to make the pope even more powerful. When the Venetians brought the French into Italy, Alexander didn't make a fuss, and even helped Louis out by dissolving his marriage. He provided some soldiers to help out in a military campaign in Romagna, and now his son, Cesare was the duke of Romagna. But Cesare wasn't thrilled with his military. The Orsini soldiers didn't seem psyched to take Bologna, and when he attacked Tuscany after taking over Urbino, Louis made him stop. So Cesare decided to figure out how to do things on his own. Cesare Borgia followed Machiavelli's advice (somewhat literally) Anywhere Cesare took power, he was sure to kill the nobles and their families. He weakened the Orsini and Colonna parties in Rome, by making them nobles and giving them a good salary. Then he brought in a Spaniard named Ramiro d'Orco (also known as Ramiro de Lorca) to govern the Romagna. The Romagna had been in disorder when Cesare took over, and d'Orco restored order, but through nasty means, using lots of torture, public executions, and fines. Once d'Orco had cleaned things up, Cesare – according to Machiavelli – didn't want to be associated with d'Orco's reign of terror. So, he had him publicly executed, and put his head on a stick in the town square. Machiavelli was an advisor to Cesare during this time, and felt that Cesare did almost everything right to make the best of the power he had gained through fortune, and lay a foundation that could withstand the inevitable death of his father, the pope. Machiavelli says: He told me that he had thought of everything that might occur at the death of his father, and had provided a remedy for all, except that he had never anticipated that, when the death did happen, he himself would be on the point to die. —Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince (on Cesare Borgia) When the pope did die – sooner than expected – Cesare himself was nearly dead from malaria. Though he won the favor of the next pope, Pius III died after only twenty-six days. Machiavelli felt Cesare's one mistake was then helping elect Pope Julius II, who had promised him favors in return. As Machiavelli says: He who believes that new benefits will cause great personages to forget old injuries is deceived. —Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince Cesare had slighted Julius in the past, and he wasn't going to forget that. Julius seized land from Cesare, and didn't support him. You can see a dramatization of the story of Pope Alexander and Cesare Borgia in Showtime's excellent-but-incomplete series, The Borgias. The Prince, today Machiavelli's advice – if it really is that – sounds brutal to modern ears, but it was a product of the reality of the time. Machiavelli was the only one brave enough – maybe desperate enough – to describe that reality. In many areas of life, business, and politics, the true effects of actions are often more complex than they appear on the surface. Sometimes this is an accident, many times it's deliberate. Why does a politician, a CEO, or a even a friend say what they say? I'm almost tempted to list The Prince on my best media books list, because the effect of a piece of media is always deeper than it appears on the surface. Political leaders in sixteenth-century Italy influenced perceptions through public events that could be described as media. You could say Cesare Borgia's public execution of Ramiro d'Orco was a pseudo-event. If so, Ryan Holiday's Trust Me, I'm Lying is like a modern day, The Prince: exposing the fundamentally-ugly reality of how a complex and brutal system that affects public perceptions works. Why Machiavelli's exile wasn't lonely Lest you have a low opinion of Niccolò Machiavelli from the content in The Prince, I want to leave you with something more endearing about him. When the Medici returned to power, they suspected Machiavelli of conspiring against them, so had him jailed and tortured – a decent reason to believe The Prince may have been satirical or, fittingly, a Machiavellian gambit to cause the Medici harm. Exiled to his farm estate, and stripped of his position as a political advisor, Machiavelli did his best to keep doing the work he loved, and retain a sense of dignity. In a letter to a friend, he described his daily ritual: When evening comes, I go back home, and go to my study. On the threshold, I take off my work clothes, covered in mud and filth, and I put on the clothes an ambassador would wear. Decently dressed, I enter the ancient courts of rulers who have long since died. There, I am warmly welcomed, and I feed on the only food I find nourishing and was born to savor. I am not ashamed to talk to them and ask them to explain their actions and they, out of kindness, answer me. Four hours go by without my feeling any anxiety. I forget every worry. I am no longer afraid of poverty or frightened of death. I live entirely through them. —Niccolò Machiavelli, Letter to Francesco Vettori There's your summary of Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince If you enjoyed this summary, I highly recommend you read Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince.

Rachele Ferrario"Umberto Boccioni"Vita di un sovversivoMondadori Editorehttps://www.mondadori.it/«Per raccontare Umberto Boccioni spesso ho usato le sue stesse parole o quelle di chi l'ha conosciuto, in modo da restituire il senso più profondo dell'uomo e dell'artista.» Rachele Ferrario, storica e critica d'arte, ricostruisce in queste pagine preziose la storia burrascosa, e per molti aspetti poco nota, del grande artista capofila del futurismo. Dall'infanzia tra Morciano di Romagna e Padova, all'apprendistato romano con Balla, l'amicizia con Sironi e Severini, il legame con Marinetti, l'amore con Margherita Sarfatti, i viaggi nella Russia degli zar e nella Parigi di Picasso, l'arresto, le risse nella Milano incandescente d'inizio secolo.Boccioni è un outsider. Figlio di un usciere e di una sarta, non ha una formazione accademica, ma un talento innato per il disegno. La madre, Cecilia, da cui eredita la forza e la fragilità di nervi, è la sua prima ispiratrice, il suo soggetto preferito, «la chiave per esprimere il suo punto di vista sul mondo». Un mondo in trasformazione, del quale Boccioni si dimostra un sorprendente interprete, «capace di tradurre in immagini la “selvaggeria futurista”, il movimento, la luce elettrica, i treni in corsa, gli stati d'animo di chi parte e di chi resta, l'energia dei primi anni del secolo». Ne sono la prova La città che sale, oggi al MoMA di New York, che arriva a esercitare «una forza magnetica, che imbriglia chi osserva in un'esibizione di potenza lirica», Idolo moderno, Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio e gli altri capolavori di cui Ferrario racconta la genesi.Nella sua vita come nella sua opera, Boccioni è un sovversivo. Un uomo di avanguardia, contro le convenzioni e gli schemi del passato. È convinto che l'arte non possa essere separata dalla politica, dalla vita. Partecipe della temperie da cui nascerà il fascismo, è un futurista, ha il mito dell'avventura, coltiva un'idea epica della modernità. Crede nella guerra, e proprio nelle retrovie della Prima guerra mondiale troverà la morte. È l'agosto del 1916, più di sei anni prima della marcia su Roma. Eppure, sulla sua straordinaria figura, graverà a lungo l'ombra del fascismo.Oggi i suoi quadri sono esposti nei più importanti musei del mondo e «i suoi colori, le sue immagini, le sue visioni» vibrano ancora di eccezionale contemporaneità.Rachele Ferrario, storica e critica d'arte, insegna Fenomenologia delle arti contemporanee e catalogazione e gestione degli archivi all'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. Cura archivi d'arte e mostre. Nel 1998 ha scoperto un nucleo di 45 opere inedite di Paresce, di cui ha curato mostre antologiche, dirige l'Archivio, ha pubblicato la biografia (Lo scrittore che dipinse l'atomo.

Mauro Baldrati"Madame"Bompiani Editorehttps://www.bompiani.it/Parigi, fine Ottocento. Veronique Fourier, anziana vedova di un generale di Napoleone, trascorre le giornate nell'oscurità del suo palazzo, aspettando gli inviti nei salotti parigini che sono stati e sono tuttora gran parte della sua vita. Durante un pranzo conosce un giovane, elegante e molto complimentoso, che la vuole intervistare, in cerca di informazioni per il suo saggio su Baudelaire, che lei ha conosciuto. La baronessa accetta, e fra i due si avvia un legame fatto di schermaglie e rivelazioni, affondi e memorie rivissute: prezioso per entrambi, perché allo scrittore in fieri dischiude la possibilità di avventurarsi in un mondo che non ha conosciuto di prima mano, e alla vecchia dama consente di ripercorrere le tappe di una vita tumultuosa, scandite dalla presenza di due uomini molto diversi – il poeta decadente, pronto a trascinarla con sé nell'abisso della sua disperazione, e il solido, affettuoso generale che l'ha salvata da sé stessa dandole una vita di agi. Il giovane intervistatore, che fa bottino di ciò che ascolta, si chiama Marcel Proust. Il dialogo tra due persone tanto diverse illumina il bozzetto di un'epoca e di uno stile di vita evocati con minuziosa levità.Mauro Baldrati è nato a Lugo di Romagna e vive a Bologna. È stato redattore di Frigidaire e fotografo.

Nei primi anni dell'Ottocento, dopo decenni di cattiva amministrazione, Napoli visse una stagione di grande splendore. Artefice di questa rinascita Gioacchino Murat, il comandante francese messo sul trono dal cognato Napoleone. Nel 1815, dopo essersi reso conto che con il ritorno di Napoleone il Congresso di Vienna gli avrebbe tolto il Regno di Napoli, decise di mettersi alla testa degli italiani per unificare tutta la Penisola sotto un solo scettro e per espellere gli stranieri. Postosi alla guida del suo esercito, numeroso e ben addestrato, occupò lo Stato della Chiesa e andò a scontrarsi con gli austriaci in Romagna dopo aver occupato Bologna.

With the whole of Europe sweltering under a prolonged heat wave, the task of producing a 30 minutes scripted show every week is proving to be a bit too taxing on our little team. That's why for the summer we've decided to keep things pithy and leave room for those quirky stories that were a bit too short to make it to the regular show. This week the summer edition of What's Up Tuscany will bring you near the Raticosa Pass, up on the Appennini between Tuscany and Romagna. Here you will learn why a darker than usual mountain has given birth to one of the weirdest legends of Tuscany: the Sasso di San Zanobi. You will learn why its unusual position was the result of a strange race between a feisty holy man and the Devil in person. If you stick around until the end of the episode you'll also know why this saint is so close to the heart of the people of Mugello and why one of his miracles might be the reason for the incredible taste of the goat cheese of this area. Let us know if you like these shorter, less ambitious episodes or not by dropping us a direct message on social media or an email. It might take a while, but we answer to everyone!Email: podcast@larno.itFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/larno.itTwitter: @arno_it / @WhatsupTuscanyLINKS TO SOURCES (ITALIAN ONLY)https://erottodottore.wordpress.com/2019/01/29/26-gennaio-426-dc-lolmo-rifiorito/https://tuttatoscana.net/curiosita-2/il-sasso-di-san-zanobi-e-la-sua-leggenda/https://cultura.ilfilo.net/la-leggenda-e-la-storia-del-sasso-di-san-zanobi/https://www.okmugello.it/news/attualita/1112977/firenzuola-storie-mugellane-le-origini-e-la-leggenda-del-sasso-di-san-zanobiBACKGROUND MUSICPipe Choir - Bom Bom Breakthrough (Instrumental)Pipe Choir - Mapping the Stars (Instrumental)Aerocity - Cold Weather KidsTbe Passion Hi-fi - BuriedWayne John Bradley - Blues Rock Original InstrumentalAll released under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Licensehttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-bom-bom-breakthrough-creative-commons-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/pipe-choir-2/pipe-choir-mapping-the-stars-instrumentalhttps://soundcloud.com/argofox/aerocity-cold-weather-kidshttps://soundcloud.com/freehiphopbeatsforyou/free-the-passion-hifi-buriedhttps://soundcloud.com/ayneohnradley/blues-rock-original-instrumentalcreative-commonshttp://www.pipechoir.com/

We've spent a long time in the eighth of the malebolge, the evil pouches that make up the big circle of fraud in Dante's INFERNO. Before we take our leave, let's look at the way the two speakers, Ulysses and Guido da Montefeltro, can be compared and contrasted with each other. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for this review episode of two of the most rewarding cantos in all of INFERNO. I've got lots of ideas. I hope you have more. Here are the segments of this episode of the podcast WALKING WITH DANTE: [02:50] An opening denunciation v. the journey continues. [04:54] Both canto XXVI and canto XXVII start with unfinished business from the previous canto--but canto XXVII comes to a distinct end before we enter the ninth evil pouch. [06:38] The peasant and his fireflies v. the Sicilian bull: a contrast of the two opening similes. [08:47] Sight v. sound in the two similes. [09:58] Emotional movement in the cantos: from comfy pastoral to bitter regret. [11:37] Ulysses is a classical figure; Guido is a contemporary figure. [12:45] Virgil silences Dante the pilgrim because he's not erudite enough v. Dante the pilgrim offers an erudite chronicle of the troubles in Romagna. [14:20] Ulysses' monologue v. Guido's dialogue. [16:51] Shocking speakers in the two cantos: Ulysses and Pope Boniface VIII. [18:13] Both Ulysses and Guido come up later in COMEDY. [19:34] Ulysses shows us the journey ahead; Guido shows us the dead end of remorse. [20:29] Ulysses is a great storyteller; Guido is a terrible storyteller. [22:14] Ulysses forgets his family; Guido remembers his. [23:25] Ulysses is a literary figure; Guido is a historical person. [24:52] Both Ulysses and Guido engage in the foolishness of old age. [26:34] Neither nobility nor whining can save you in Dante's universe. [29:08] Ulysses' linear crescendo v. Guido's mishmash of styles. [31:45] Both Ulysses and Guido suffer an imagined death. [32:59] Neither Virgil nor Dante reacts after either speech. [35:36] One final contrast: the body v. the soul in the seventh through the nineth of the malebolge.
Let's pull apart the first chunk of the speech from Guida da Montefeltro in the eighth of the evil pouches (the malebolge) that make up the giant, eighth circle of INFERNO--that is, the sins of fraud. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as I give you my English translation of Inferno, Canto XXVII, lines 58 - 111. I'll walk you through Guido's attempt at self-justification, the ironies inherent in his speech, and the history lying behind it. I'll also give you three implications we can draw from Guido's speech so far. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [01:20] My English translation of Inferno, Canto XXVII, Lines 58 - 111. If you'd like to read along or (better yet!) drop a comment about this episode, please look for it on my website, markscarbrough.com. [05:36] Guido's reaction to Dante's reply about war and peace in Romagna. [07:15] Some of the most famous lines in INFERNO. [08:28] A couple of problems with the opening lines of Guido's big monologue. [10:46] The transactional nature of fraud. [13:40] Some parallels between Dante the pilgrim and Guido. [15:44] Wishing others damned while absolving yourself (and maybe tweaking Virgil's nose, too). [16:59] Guido's residual humanity. [19:04] The irony of Guido's fame (including his fame with Dante the poet). [22:16] Dante quotes Dante--or Guido quotes Dante! [23:07] The gaping hole in the theology of repentance. [24:10] Pope Boniface VIII's war in the Lateran. [26:02] A rare moment of anti-Semitism in INFERNO. [27:05] Pope Boniface VIII's "crusade" against other Christians. [29:14] Another parallel between Dante the pilgrim and Guido. [29:43] A little opacity in Guido's monologue. [30:25] The difficult reference to Constantine and Pope Sylvester I. [33:05] Guido's ultimate self-justification. [33:54] Pope Boniface VIII's offer: a preemptive pardon. [35:11] The pope's two keys. [36:19] Guido's false counsel. [37:15] Ultimate poetic justice and earthly misunderstandings. [38:33] Three implications from Guido's monologue so far. 1) He's a terrible storyteller (but also a bit like Dante). [40:57] 2) Guido's story is built on the "confessio topos." [43:18] 3) Did Dante the poet invent Guido's story?
Afghana giunta in Romagna per curarsi, divenne volontaria Cri
Welcome to Episode 961 Steve Raye interviews Riccardo Ricci Curbastro in this installment of Get US Market Ready With Italian Wine People on the Italian Wine Podcast. About today's guest: Eighteen generations of Ricci Curbastro have led, starting with Pietro, born in 1380, farms in Romagna and Lombardy. These centuries-old traditions are now represented by the Rontana estate in Brisighella (RA) and the Ricci Curbastro estate in Franciacorta. The latter produced bottled wines as early as the 1800s, as evidenced by labels from 1885 still preserved today. It was transformed by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro into a modern wine company since 1967, when the D.O.C. Franciacorta, of which he was one of the eleven founders, was created. Of the 32 hectares of company surface, 28 are invested in vineyards and another 1,2 hectares are planned for 2021. The company practices organic farming as a natural continuation of the various environmental impact reduction practices that began in 1980, forty years ago. Since 2017 it has been among the first nine companies in Italy, first in Lombardy, certified as a “Sustainable Company” according to the Equalitas standard for its commitment in environmental, economic and social terms. The cellar where the fermentations and slow maturation of the Franciacorta DOCG are carried out is built underground in a vast secular park. The vinification is followed by the oenologists Andrea Rudelli, Annalisa Massetti and Riccardo Ricci Curbastro, a mix of experiences for wines intended for the increasingly demanding palates of consumers all over the world. The company's production is well represented not only by the Franciacorta DOCG but also by the Curtefranca DOC and Sebino IGT wines. The Agricultural and Wine Museum is located inside the farmhouses of the Ricci Curbastro estate, a unique reality in Franciacorta that preserves thousands of objects that talk about the agricultural work of the past. Inaugurated in 1986, it is the result of meticulous research that began more than thirty years earlier by Gualberto Ricci Curbastro. Four rooms, divided into themes that can be visited upon reservation in order to be able to accompany you and tell you about our past and today work.

Guido da Montefeltro is trapped in a tongue of fire in the eighth of the malebolge (evil pouches) that make up the eighth circle of hell, the landscape of fraud. But rather than bemoan his fate, he wants to know the fate of his beloved Romagna, where he was a mercenary for years. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we look over this elliptical and opaque passage, which is the pilgrim's response to Guido's question of whether his home is at war or peace these days. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [02:57] My English translation of the passage: Inferno, Canto XXVII, lines 31 - 57. If you''d like to read along or drop a comment, please do so on my website, markscarbrough.com. [05:16] The pilgrim's eager desire is still intact toward the figures in the eighth evil pouch of fraud. [06:32] Two nice details in the opening tercet (or three-line stanza). [09:08] The big word for this passage: "tyrants." [11:03] Rationales for the opaque and elliptical complications in Dante the pilgrim's response. [14:34] The fate of seven cities in Romagna. The peace in 1) Ravenna and 2) Cervia, thanks to the Polenta family. [17:06] The bloodbath at 3) Forlí (and the victory for Guido da Montefeltro) in the late 1200s. [18:48] The defeat of the Ghibellines in 4) Rimini in the late 1200s. [21:58] The fates of 5) Faenza and 6) Imola in 1300. [24:23] The uneasy freedom in 7) Cesena in 1300. [25:46] Something intriguing: Dante is careful to give this history lesson as of 1300, the date of the action (but not the writing) of the poem. [28:08] After all this bloody political history, Dante appeals to Guido's personal vanity. [30:11] Reading the passage once again, all the way back to the start of Canto XXVII.
Ulysses leaves and a second flame shows up in the eighth of the malebolge, the evil pouches of fraud in Dante's INFERNO. Ulysses may be the great tragic figure, but this one is muttering, sputtering. He's a whining politician (and a local Romagna warlord). In other words, we're leaving epic and moving to comedy--as always with Dante. Join me, Mark Scarbrough, as we slow-walk through Dante's incomparable COMEDY. We're down in lower hell, toward the bottom of the eighth (or next-to-the-last) circle of hell. And we're about to meet someone right out of Dante's own world. Here are the segments of this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE: [02:32] My English translation of INFERNO, Canto XXVII, lines 1 - 30. If you'd like to follow along, you can find my translation and even drop a comment on my website, markscarbrough.com. [04:40] Two clues about how to judge Ulysses: his upright flame and the "sweet poet" who is Virgil. [08:00] The introduction of a comic figure: Guido da Montefeltro. [12:09] The historical background of the simile about the Sicilian bull. [14:58] Possible interpretations for the simile of the Sicilian bull: infernal speech or meta-poetics? [19:05] The fabulous explanation for how a flame can speak. [21:24] The open acknowledgment that Virgil is speaking in the Lombard dialect. [25:38] Language cues in Guido's first speech. [28:55] Back to the local after the global--as always with Dante.
L'episodio affronta il ruolo dei Carabinieri a favore della popolazione nel corso del primo Conflitto Mondiale. Oltre al servizio svolto al fronte, i Carabinieri continuarono ad assolvere quello di sicurezza e ordine pubblico, il servizio d'istituto a favore dei cittadini. Tuttavia, furono attribuiti ai militari dell'Arma nuovi compiti connessi con la situazione bellica che andarono a sommarsi con quanto già era loro assegnato, aggravando una situazione in cui il deficit di personale e il richiamo della classi più anziane per il servizio sul territorio limitava l'azione dell'Arma. D'altro canto, furono sempre i Carabinieri a svolgere numerosi servizi anche al di fuori delle normali attribuzioni come nel caso del soccorso alle popolazioni colpite dal terremoto della Marsica del 1915 o nel ripristino dei servizi pubblici essenziali come durante il periodo di governo della città di Gorizia lasciata solo con lo sfondamento di Caporetto. La tutela dei cittadini, da sempre caratteristica dei compiti tradizionali dell'Arma, arrivò spesso ad atti di estremo coraggio anche al di fuori delle trincee. Emblematico il comportamento del brigadiere Martino Veduti il quale, di servizio di vigilanza a una polveriera nel comune di Lugo di Romagna, la notte del 14 agosto 1918, “accortosi che una bomba con miccia accesa era stata collocata a scopo di attentato nelle immediate vicinanze di grosso deposito di esplosivo, percepita rapidamente la gravissima situazione, senza esitare, noncurante dell'incombente sicuro pericolo per la sua esistenza, con saldo animo, nobile esempio di eccezionali virtù militari e di sublime attaccamento al dovere, afferrò l'ordigno e, non riuscendo a svellere colle mani il brevissimo tratto di miccia ancora incombusta, la strappò coi denti, sventando così la imminente esplosione” Lugo (Ravenna), 14 agosto 1918” secondo quanto attestato dalla motivazione della Medaglia d'Oro al Valor Militare. Il legame tra l'Arma dei Carabinieri e la gente si consolidò nell'elemento simbolico della bandiera nazionale donata dai comuni alle Stazioni. Fu infatti proprio durante il primo conflitto mondiale che prese il via quest'iniziativa, destinata a divenire una tradizione perpetuata sino ai giorni nostri. Fu il sindaco di un piccolo centro ligure, Castelnuovo Magra, a far dono del tricolore alla locale Stazione dell'Arma tenuto conto che tali piccoli comandi sino a tale momento non avevano l'autorizzazione a inalberare la bandiera nazionale. Il testo di questo episodio è stato estratto e rielaborato dal volume a cura di Flavio Carbone “La Grande Guerra dei Carabinieri”, Roma, 2020, Ministero della Difesa - Comando Generale dell'Arma dei Carabinieri - Ufficio Storico. In particolare si tratta del paragrafo “Carabinieri tra la gente” di Laura Secchi. Il volume è consultabile on line sul sito dell'Arma dei Carabinieri e su quello del Ministero della Difesa.
