Gazing from the Gallery
This study explores the display history of the Betende Knabe , a Greek bronze statue currently in Berlin, exploring the interplay between this enigmatic figure and its ever-changing role within the spaces it has inhabited. The article analyses how the object’s presentation has evolved throughout its travels, from private collections to prestigious museums, bearing silent witness to seismic shifts in European history. By considering the Betende Kn…
Reading Dürer in Late Sixteenth‐Century Padua
This article contributes to the history of material culture and intellectual biography by definitively identifying the Paduan scholar Matteo Macigni (ca. 1510–1582) as the author of the annotations found in a 1535 copy of Albrecht Dürer’s Institutionum geometricarum currently preserved in Vicenza. The attribution rests on bibliographical and palaeographical sources. By analysing this discovery, this research recovers Macigni's identity as a key, …
What's in a Polity? Political Institutions and Varieties of Economic Interventionism in the United States and the European Union
This article examines the political foundations of industrial policy amid the return of state economic interventionism. Comparing the United States' Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the European Union's Green Deal Industrial Plan (GDIP), it shows that contrasting industrial policy strategies were ultimately shaped by differences in the two polities' legislative rules. In both cases, geopolitical pressures sparked renewed interest in green indust…
“Strength gains in different age groups of overweight/obese adults
Controlled studies demonstrate that it is possible to improve muscle strength in people of all ages, including older populations. Clinically, it is relevant to establish whether a resistance training program (26 sessions of 60 minutes of aerobic workout plus 30 minutes of circuit training for muscular strength) leads to comparable strength gains in overweight/obese persons of different ages. The purpose of this study was to show the effects of a …
Effect of Sampietrini Pavers on Urban Heat Islands
Cool pavements are reflective and/or permeable pavements that improve microclimate of urban areas where heat islands cause discomfort to citizens. Stone pavements lower surface temperatures and reduce the amount of heat absorbed. This study assessed, using ENVI-met 4.3 LITE software, how air temperature and predicted mean vote depend on physical properties of the road pavement. A comparative microclimatic analysis was implemented on a rectangular…
Adaptation as a Strategy for Participation
From the Vite or the Ritratti ? Previously Unknown Portraits from Vasari’s Libro de’ Disegni
The process of producing woodcut portraits to illustrate the second edition of Giorgio Vasari's Vite, published in Florence by the Giunti in 1568, was laborious, long, and complicated. From his correspondence with the historian and collector Paolo Giovio, it is possible to gather that the Aretine harbored ambitions for such illustrations for the publication in 1550 of the first edition of his book by Lorenzo Torrentino, and was already considerin…
Environmental, Human Health and Socio-Economic Effects of Cement Powders
The attention to sustainability-related issues has grown fast in recent decades. The experience gained with these themes reveals the importance of considering this topic in the construction industry, which represents an important sector throughout the world. This work consists on conducting a multicriteria analysis of four cement powders, with the objective of calculating and analysing the environmental, human health and socio-economic effects of…
The palazzo, collections, and musical patronage of Niccolò Gaddi (1536–91)
This article examines the collection of musical instruments and music books (both published editions and manuscripts) belonging to the Florentine Niccolò di Sinibaldo Gaddi. One of the greatest collectors and patrons of the arts of his time, in the 1570s and 1580s he organized and installed one of the largest private collections of the era in the so-called casa dell’orto. Today it is possible to reconstruct not only the scope of his collections b…
The Japanese Early-Modern Publishing Market Unveiled
This article explores an under-researched area of the Japanese early-modern (1603-1867) publishing history, by examining the catalogues called shojaku mokuroku . First, it analyses the publication history, the editorial process and the contents of these catalogues. By doing so, it offers a new definition of shojaku mokuroku , it reflects upon the growth and the variety which characterize the production of Kyoto publishers/booksellers and proves t…

Disgust selectively modulates reciprocal fairness in economic interactions
We report two studies aimed at investigating the effects of distinct negative emotions on pairwise economic interactions. In the ultimatum game, a proposer offers a division of a sum of money to a responder who decides whether to accept the split, or reject and leave both players with nothing. In Experiment 1, we investigated whether induced disgust, as compared to sadness and neutral emotion, specifically influences responders' decisions to reje…
On the edge of narrative
The popular prose of the seventeenth century (currently known as kanazōshi) is the victim of distorted assessments. On the one hand, it is subject to a negative, as well as naïve, judgement because it keeps its distance from the kind of narrative displayed in shōsetsu (novels). On the other, the many and varied works it includes are choked in a misleading system of classification based on rigid distinctions between supposed narrative functions. W…
