XIII Colloquio Internazionale del Lessico Intellettuale Europeo
Roma, 7-8-9 gennaio 2010
A cura di Delfina Giovannozzi e Marco Veneziani
The contributions gathered here investigate the historical evolution of the polysemous term «matter» from Greek philosophy to Gnosticism, from Christian philosophies to Medieval Latin dictionaries, to the Renaissance. The Modern Age period is investigated by analysing texts of Telesio and Bacon, as well as 17th-century science and philosophical systems. Also investigated are the interpretations found in the French Enlightenment, in Kant’s philosophy, and Schelling’s and Hegel’s philosophy of nature.

PIERO MARTINETTI. LETTERE (1921 - 1942)
A cura di Pier Giorgio Zunino. Con la collaborazione di Giulia Beltrametti
Gathered here are about 100 unpublished letters of one of the most prominent figures of early twentieth-century Italian philosophical culture. Sceptical about the feasibility of democracy, critical about socialist materialism, Martinetti emerges as a rare «inner emigrant» in these letters, which also provide original insight into the nature of the long dictatorship and the historical conditions that gave rise to it. Among his correspondents were Croce, Gadda, Cagnola, Einaudi, Nina Ruffini

Giuseppe SavocaL'INFINITO E IL PUNTO
Letture di poesia tra Ungaretti e Cattafi
This book is a study about poets (Ungaretti, Saba, Montale, Cattafi) and critics (Muscetta and Marchese) in the spirit of the themes underlying the hendiadys in the title. Analysis proceeds by interpreting texts often related to Pascal’s meditations on the concepts of infinite and spatial point, and to Leopardi’s Infinito. The basic perspective is European literature from Schleiermacher (the great Romantic theoretician of the finite and infinite) to Baudelaire’s «aspiration towards the infinite».

BENIAMINO DAL FABBRO SCRITTORE
Atti della giornata di studio
Belluno, 29 ottobre 2010
A cura di Rodolfo Zucco
The volume is intended to be a well-thought-out starting point for a thorough and ramified reflection on the personality and work of Beniamino Dal Fabbro (1910-1989). In a twofold critical approach, this book highlights the intertwining of life and literary experiences, and provides a unitary vision of the work of Dal Fabbro, who was a versatile author of poetry, narrative, essays, travel literature, memoirs and translations in verse and prose.

L’ ITALIANO PARLATO DI FIRENZE, PERUGIA E ROMA
A cura di Luciano Agostiniani e Paola Bonucci
The volume gathers the analyses conducted by experts in different linguistic domains (phonological, prosodic, syntactic and pragmatic) on the Italian spoken in Florence, Perugia and Rome. Data and analyses concerning three linguistic varieties of the central area are now gathered in one volume. It is interesting to compare side-by-side varieties that present basic similarities but also peculiarities and are potentially available for comparative analysis on specific levels of the spoken language.

LA PAROLA E L'IMMAGINE
Studi in onore di Gianni Venturi
A cura di Marco Ariani, Arnaldo Bruni, Anna Dolfi e Andrea Gareffi
Painting tends to convey moral meanings through symbols, while literature represents abstract concepts through metaphors and corporeal images. The volumes revolve around this central theme and are divided into sections: the Middle Age and Dante’s «visible speech» (mutual attraction between art and poetry), the 16th-century triumph of painting as «figurative word», the Ferrara of Ariosto and Tasso, 18th-century Enlightenment and Neoclassicism, the extraordinary fusion of imagination and literature in 20th-century imagery.

Un salotto letterario settecentesco tra arte, scienza e politica. I
Sezione di Storia della Scienza
A cura di Dario Generali
Clelia Grillo Borromeo Arese, a very controversial aristocrat and intellectual, hosted a literary salon that became an important landmark for cultural and scientific debate in early 18th-century Milan. In 1718 she established a relationship with Antonio Vallisneri. Her stays at Vallisneri's Borromean palaces promoted a renewal of medical and natural sciences in the area of Milan and a significant expansion in the network of correspondents and assistants of the Paduan professor.

Jean RacinePOESIE SACRE
Cantiques spirituels. Hymnes traduites du Bréviaire Romain. / Cantici spirituali. Inni tradotti dal breviario Romano
Introduzione, traduzione e note di Irene Santori
The Cantiques Spirituels, a fine paraphrase of texts from the Scriptures, were composed after Racine’s retirement from the theatre. The Hymnes were translated from the Roman Breviary by the young Racine, revised in his mature years and eventually condemned for Jansenist heresy. Found at the extremes of the Racinian corpus, these sacred poems create a deep, intimate connection between the young and mature lyricist, echoing throughout the biblical and secular tragedies.
