DECORAZIONE ASTRATTA E FLOREALE NELLA CAPPELLA DI SAN ZENO, ROMA: PREPARAZIONE ORNAMENTALE DI UN PROGRAMMA FUNERARIO ALTO MEDIEVALELa cappella di San Zeno è notevole, non soltanto per il suo coerente programma iconografico, ma per le decorazioni astratte e floreali che la abbelliscono. Queste includono volute animate, decorazioni tessili, scuri a due teste, fiori, scudi, elaborati contorni multipli e ghirlande floreali. Tutto ciò è analizzato in questo studio, alla ricerca della loro possibile fonte e del loro significato simbolico. Uno degli scopi principali era scoprire se le fonti degli ornamenti fossero identiche a quelle del programma figurale, ovvero se, essendo indipendenti dalle figure, potessero essere associate ad esercizi di laboratorio.Sembrerebbe che alcune delle decorazioni provenissero da Ravenna tramite un libro di motivi, ora perduto insieme alle decorazioni monumentali originali. Altri motivi, invece, sebbene si riferiscano in termini generali a forme decorative passate, usano come modelli per i dettagli i materiali raggruppati a Santa Prassede da Papa Pasquale I; questi erano disegnati sulla base di sculture medievali e classiche tuttora esistenti a Santa Prassede. Viene anche suggerito che i tessuti che Pasquale donò alla Chiesa potrebbero essere stati copiati dai mosaicisti.Un significato simbolico è stato trovato in molte componenti dell'ornamento. Ad esempio, lo strano nome medievale della Cappella di Zeno, Hortus Paradisi, può essere soddisfacentemente spiegato dalla lussureggiante componente floreale dei muri superiori, che rappresenta in termini simbolici il Paradiso.

Luigi Villari’s book Fire and Sword in the Caucasus, published in London in 1906, is widely quoted by scholars working on the history of Transcaucasia, in particular in respect to the Armenian-Tatar war. Yet neither this text nor its author have been so far studied in detail. The Italian Luigi Villari (1876-1959) is a figure of considerable interest; he was a diplomat, traveler, and journalist. His father, Pasquale Villari (1827-1917), was an accomplished historian and politician who played an important role in nineteenth-century Italy; Villari’s mother was the British writer Linda White (1836-1915). It is remarkable that the author wrote a book an English at a time when this was not a popular language in Italy. He wrote extensively both in English and Italian about different topics, mainly related to history and international politics. It has been shown that, after the First World War, Villari joined Fascism and contributed actively to the regime’s propaganda in Great Britain. The present paper examines Luigi Villari’s book on the Caucasus, especially the author’s attitude towards the Armenians. I shall demonstrate that in his work, he handles negative stereotypes of the Armenians (“one of the most unpopular races of the East”), which were common in the Russian empire at the beginning of the twentieth century, in a rather interesting way.

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is produced in Norway both in field and greenhouses. In Norway, greenhouse lettuce is one of the most important vegetables grown year-round. In winter 2018, wilting symptoms were observed on soil-grown lettuce of the cultivar Frillice in a greenhouse in south east Norway (Buskerud county). Affected plants showed stunted growth, wilting of outer leaves, and brownish discoloration of vascular tissues of taproots and crowns. According to the producer, the disease led to an estimated 10% of yield losses. Fungal isolates were obtained from crowns and roots of diseased plants collected from the greenhouse in 2018 and 2019. Two single spore isolates, 231274 from 2018 and 231725 from 2019, were used in further studies. The isolates were incubated on synthetic nutrient-poor agar (SNA) at 18-20 ⁰C, and a 12 hours dark, 12 hours UV light cycle. Isolate 231274 produced abundant macro- and microconidia characteristics of Fusarium oxysporum while macroconidia were never observed in isolate 231725. On potato dextrose agar (PDA), colonies of isolate 231274 were purple in color and colonies of isolate 231725 were pinkish with abundant aerial mycelium. For PCR-assay, DNA from mycelia was extracted using Easy-DNA kit (Invitrogen). A portion of the translation elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α) gene was amplified using primers F-728F (Carbone and Kohn. 1999) and EF2 (O'Donnell et al. 1998) as described by Aas et al. 2018. Blast analysis of both sequences (accession no. MW316853 for 231274 and MW316854 for 231275) obtained a 99% homology with the sequence of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lactucae (FOL) race 1 strain S1 (accession no. DQ837657)(Mbofung et al. 2007). Both isolates were identified as race 1 by using specific primers Hani3’ and Hanilatt3rev (Pasquali et al. 2007) as described by Cabral et al. 2014. To complete Koch’s postulate, lettuce plants of the cultivar Frillice were used. Race identity was confirmed using the differential lettuce cultivars Costa Rica No.4 (resistant to FOL race 1), Banchu Red Fire (resistant to FOL races 2 and 4) and Romana Romabella (resistant to FOL races 1 and 2) (Gilardi et al. 2017) provided by the breeding company Rijk Zwaan (De Lier, The Netherlands). For inoculation, roots of six 2-weeks old seedlings per cultivar were dipped in a spore suspension (1 x 106 CFU/ml) for 1 min, while controls were dipped in distilled water. Seedlings were planted in 250 ml pots containing fertilized potting substrate, and were placed in a greenhouse with temperature ranging from 15 to 35 ⁰C and an average of 23 ⁰C. After 10 days reduced growth was observed in cultivars Frillice and Banchu Red Fire for both fungal isolates. After 25 days wilting was observed in both cultivars. Affected plants presented discoloration of vascular tissue. No difference in growth was observed between cultivars Romana Romabella and Costa Rica No. 4 and their respective controls. FOL was re-isolated from all inoculated cultivars but not from controls. The colony patterns of the recovered isolates were the same than those of the isolates used for inoculation. These results confirm that the isolate belongs to race 1. Greenhouse lettuce in Norway is mainly produced in hydroponics. FOL is here reported to cause damages in soil- grown lettuce. Nevertheless FOL in hydroponic systems has been reported in Japan (Fujinaga et al. 2003) and Thailand (Thongkamngam and Jaenaksorn 2017). Thus, the possibility of infections in hydroponics remain a big concern for lettuce production in Norway.

Il breve periodo qui preso in analisi è tra i più controversi nonché ignorati dalla storia delle istituzioni internazionali. La storiografia tradizionale, non avendo fornito uno studio adeguato del mileu in cui il diritto internazionale moderno ha posto le radici, ha spesso considerato l’Institut de Droit International e il progetto scientifico dei giuristi internazionali che lo composero un preludio fallimentare della prima guerra mondiale. Inoltre sono state poste in analisi le riflessioni dottrinali dei giuristi internazionali con la volontà di sottolineare le instabilità, le divisioni interne e le arretratezze strutturali rispetto al contesto preparatorio della prima guerra mondiale. Queste passate linee di ricerca presentano però una lettura deviante del periodo prebellico in quanto cercano esclusivamente di fornire spiegazioni al fallimento liberale della Grande Guerra, dando così scarsa risonanza al contributo apportato dalle riflessioni e dall’operato dei giuristi di fine Ottocento. Si tendono perciò a sovrastimare i momenti di crisi ed i fallimenti, trascurando invece le continuità, i mutamenti e le esperienze scientifiche che, pur non avendo apportato sostanziali cambiamenti nelle relazioni internazionali tra gli stati di fine Ottocento, sono state preparatorie e propedeutiche alle riflessioni del diritto internazionale del XX secolo. L’intima relazione dell’Institut de Droit International e dei suoi protagonisti con la politica liberale di secondo Ottocento è il vero leitmotiv che emerge da questo lavoro, in cui si pone l’accento proprio sulla comunità italiana di giuristi e uomini politici che contribuirono alla riforma del diritto internazionale. È per questo motivo che l’importanza dell’istituto di Gent, per non dire anche il motivo del suo oblio, risiede nel suo intreccio con la trama dei valori fondamentali e dei criteri generali del liberalismo del XIX secolo. I giuristi e gli uomini politici italiani che contribuirono alla formazione e allo sviluppo dell’Institut de Droit International, seppero, con modalità d’intervento, di mediazione e di interazione diverse nel tempo, instaurare un ordine mondiale costituito da un liberalismo imperante, in virtù della loro formazione liberale. L’Institut de Droit International nello studio delle dinamiche e dei dibattiti interni si caratterizza come un momento istituzionale importante e come luogo in cui si articola una nuova professione internazionale, quella del giusinternazionalista. Ne emergono così figure qualificate con conoscenze tecniche, valori politici ed esperienze parlamentari in grado di interloquire ripetutamente con i governi di tutta Europa nella prassi delle relazioni internazionali di fine secolo. All’interno del processo che condusse al riconoscimento e all’istituzionalizzazione di autonome discipline si palesò la separazione sempre più marcata della scienza dalla politica, a favore di un tecnicismo mai conosciuto prima, a tal punto che, non solo i giuristi internazionali, ma tutti gli intellettuali di primo Novecento, apparvero inadatti a reggere la grande prova politica del 1914 cui erano chiamati a rispondere. È quindi l’intero mondo occidentale il luogo in cui si vive il fervore di una sorta di “repubblica delle scienze” che, desiderosa di porsi al servizio dell’umana società, cerca di rendersi indipendente dalla politica a cui era legata, istituzionalizzandosi e formalizzandosi. In un gioco tra l’edito e l’inedito, emerge la consapevolezza che questo consistente tentativo di organizzazione scientifica non sia stato una mera casualità individuale, ma un reale confluire di molteplici e diverse vicende intellettuali e politiche. Si è mosso dunque il proposito di delineare non solo i contenuti e le logiche comunicative dell’Institut de Droit International, ma, sulla base delle vicende professionali, politiche e accademiche dei suoi protagonisti, si sono volute illustrare le strategie metodologiche attraverso cui questi giuristi e uomini politici intrapresero nell’istituto di Gent il percorso che li avrebbe identificati come un corpo professionale. Le corrispondenze personali, in particolare, sono impregnate di valori liberali che insieme ai criteri tecnico professionali, espressi maggiormente dalla documentazione scientifica edita, formano un interessante bagaglio culturale e professionale che verrà ripreso dal diritto internazionale dopo la “pausa” della Grande Guerra. Per comprendere al meglio l’Institut de Droit International si è articolata dunque una ricerca orientata all’ “interno”, cercando di porre in risalto il milieu politico-culturale, nascosto nelle riflessioni sul diritto internazionale moderno, all’interno del quale mossero i primi passi i giuristi internazionali. Attraverso un ritorno a tutte quelle disposizioni ufficiali dell’Institut de Droit International e ai carteggi sorti par le concours harmonique des forces de la science, si riporta alla luce quel rapporto particolare che intercorre tra istituzione, stato e giuristi internazionali. Da queste considerazioni si vuole compiere un’associazione fra due punti di osservazione diversi: uno microscopico che potremmo dire interpersonale, in grado di far risaltare l’apporto interessante dei giuristi italiani all’interno della compagine europea ed un altro macroscopico in grado di rendere una visione d’insieme del milieu di quel laboratorio di idee che si formò a Gent. Lo studio delle prassi di politica estera, nonché lo studio del pensiero giuridico di fine Ottocento, si affiancano quindi allo studio ed alla ricerca delle metodologie, dei “luoghi” reali e figurati e delle modalità decisionali dei giuristi internazionali. Dai valori e dalle esperienze sulla base dei quali agivano gli “uomini del 1873”, protagonisti dell’Institut de Droit International, emerge il valore aggiunto di una linea di ricerca che si colloca tra lo studio del pensiero giuridico e le attività di ricerca di storia delle istituzioni. Per rispondere ad un contesto socio politico sconvolto da processi di state building e da un nuovo ordine mondiale si palesarono nuovi sforzi di cooperazione, di diversa ispirazione, che furono in grado di concorrere allo stato contingente della fondazione dell’Institut de Droit International. Questi processi ed eventi indipendenti dall’istituto di Gent, nella loro ricerca di nuovi standard legali congrui, hanno dunque aperto la strada ad un nuovo spirito di riforma nel diritto internazionale. Gli intellettuali sulla base di un inedito protagonismo, chiamati a rispondere a questioni di vicini e lontani orizzonti, vissero una tensione riformatrice che connotò ampi aspetti del loro “modo di essere internazionali”. Il diritto internazionale moderno vivendo le tensioni, i disincanti e le speranze dei protagonisti della seconda metà dell’Ottocento può essere inteso a pieno titolo come uno specchio fedele di quella “macchina mondiale” in continuo mutamento rappresentata dagli ultimi decenni del XIX secolo.
The short time taken in analysis here is one of the most controversial and ignored by the history of international institutions. Traditional historiography, by failing to provide an adequate study of milieu in which modern international law has taken root, has often considered the Institut de Droit International and the scientific project of international lawyers who composed a prelude to the bankruptcy of the first world war. In addition, the doctrinal reflections of international lawyers were analyzed with a willingness to emphasize the instability, internal divisions and structural backwardness compared to the context of preparation for WWI. These lines of research have, however, a deviant reading of the prewar period as they seek only to explain the liberal failure of the Great War, thus giving little resonance to the contribution provided by the reflections and the work of jurists in the late nineteenth century. In such a way the continuities, changes and scientific experience that, despite not having made substantial changes in international relations between the states of the late nineteenth century, were preparatory to the reflections of the international law of the twentieth century, were neglected. The intimate relationship of the Institut de Droit International and its players with the liberal politics of the late nineteenth century is the true leitmotif that emerges from this work, which focuses in particular on the Italian community of lawyers and politicians who contributed to reform of international law. It is for this reason that the importance of the Institute of Gent, to say the reason for his neglect, lies in its intertwining with the plot of the core values and general principles of liberalism of the nineteenth century. The Italian jurists and politicians who contributed to the formation and development of the Institut de Droit International, were be able, with different rules in time for intervention, mediation and interaction, to establish a world order based on the liberalism, as their liberal education suggests. The Institut de Droit International in the study of the dynamics and internal debates becomes an important institutional time and a place in which it emerges a new international profession: the international lawyer. These figures are notably skilled, with technical knowledge, political values and parliamentary experiences able to interact repeatedly with governments throughout Europe in the practice of international relations of the late century. Within the process that led to the recognition and institutionalization of autonomous disciplines, the separation of science from politics appeared, in favor of a technicality never known before, so that not only international lawyers, but all intellectuals of the early twentieth century, appeared unfit to rule the big political test of 1914 they were called to respond. Therefore, the entire Western world is the place where is felt the fervor of a "republic of science" who, in the service of humanity, tries to be independent by politics by means of institutionalization. In a game between the published and unpublished, it is shown an awareness that this consistent effort of scientific management is not merely random, but a real confluence of many different intellectual and political events. The aim is to outline not only the content and the communicative logic of the Institut de Droit International, but also, on the basis of professional affairs and academic policies of its protagonists, the methodological strategies that constituted the professionalization of the jurist. The personal correspondences, in particular, are imbued with liberal values, which together with technical and professional criteria expressed mainly by the published scientific literature, form an interesting cultural and professional background that will be taken up by international law after the "pause" the Great War. To better understand the Institut de Droit International the research was focused to an “internal” perspective, trying to emphasize the cultural-political milieu, hidden in the debate on modern international law, in which the international lawyers undertook their first actions. Through a return to all the official provisions of the Institut de Droit International and the correspondences suited “par le concours harmonique des forces de la science”, it sheds light on the special relationship that exists between the institution, state and international jurists. From these considerations, the goal is to make an association between two different viewpoints: one microscopic which is “interpersonal” and is able to bring out the interesting contribution of the Italian jurists within the European team and another that makes a macroscopic overview of the milieu of that laboratory of ideas that rose in Gent. The study of the practice of foreign policy and the study of the legal thought of the late nineteenth century, were associated to the study of the methodologies, the real and figurative "places" and the manner of decision expressed by the international lawyers. From the values and experiences shown by the "men of 1873", the protagonists of the Institut de Droit International, it emerges the surplus value of a line of research that is between the study of legal thought and the research in the history of the institutions. To answer to a socio political context devastated by the processes of state building and the new world order, new cooperative efforts of different inspirations were able to compete to the contingent state of the founding of the Institut de Droit International. These processes and events independent by the institution of Ghent, in their search for new suitable legal standards, therefore, have inaugurate the way for a new spirit of reform in international law. The intellectuals, called to respond to issues of near and far horizons, lived a reforming tension who characterized many aspects of their "way of being international". The modern international law, by living the tensions, the disenchantments and the hopes of the protagonists of the second half of the nineteenth century, can rank as a true reflection of that "worldwide mechanism" very changeable represented by the last decades of the nineteenth century.

Leopold “wildlifer” Dan Thompson and his research partner were driving south on US Highway 51 on Thursday, April 22, 1948. “When the news of Aldo Leopold’s death came over the radio, we gasped and blankly looked at each other. I turned off the radio, and we drove on for another thirty minutes of silence.” Dan’s thoughts drifted back to the howl of a single wolf he had heard the evening before. He wondered “if the wolf had sensed the passing of a kindred spirit of the wilderness.” Aldo Leopold turned the American Dream upside down. He was born in a mansion and died at a shack; yet the Shack was the home of his greatest riches. Some have dubbed it the most famous chicken coop in the world. Upon his retirement, Aldo had planned to build a year- round home on the property, but instead the Shack was passed on as it was to new generations far beyond his family. Leopold’s book about the Shack and other adventures, “Great Possessions,” was in jeopardy after his death of ever getting published. But comments on the essays were called in from key students, friends, and family members, Luna served as the editor for his father’s writings, and the book was released by Oxford University Press under the title A Sand County Almanac and Sketches from Here and There (1949). In it, Aldo Leopold invited his readers to sit with him on his bench at the Shack, watch as he cut wood, walk with him in the woods and prairies, and loiter at his campfires to think about the question: How can we live on the land without spoiling it? And now even broader: How can we live as part of the earth, and its systems, without spoiling it? The urgency of his questions has only heightened since his death. Leopold anticipated our crises and left us the practical and philosophical wisdom to set our compasses and choose paths toward healthier vistas. Leopold reminded us in all his ecological work, “Pluck a petal from a pasque flower, and you disturb a star.”
