Negli ultimi anni in Italia è ripresa l’emigrazione giungendo a superare, secondo le statistiche ufficiali, le centomila unità annue. L’attenzione dei media, nel denunciare i tagli alla ricerca, le cattive condizioni del mercato del lavoro e la mancanza di meritocrazia diffusa nel paese, si è focalizzata sulla perdita di giovani talenti verso l’estero. A lasciare l’Italia, però, non sono più solo lavoratori altamente specializzati, o cervelli in fuga, ma anche studenti, professionisti, tecnici, imprenditori, ricercatori, pensionati, cooperanti e altre figure, qualificate e non, che partono da ogni regione. Questo soggetto difficile da definire – emigranti, expat, cervelli in fuga? – non ha nemmeno una dimensione precisa. Come calcolare infatti il numero di chi si muove nell’Europa di Schengen o che attraversa frontiere con un visto turistico o di studio e che poi decide di fermarsi? Cosa differenzia la nuova emigrazione che alle guide dell’emigrante ha sostituito blog e social network, che al posto del telefono usa Skype, da quelle del secolo scorso? Rispetto alle migrazioni del passato cambiano anche le motivazioni, oltre alla ricerca di lavoro, si emigra per studiare, cercare una migliore qualità della vita o per amore. L’inchiesta del Centro Altreitalie intrecciando fonti diverse – statistiche, un questionario e interviste – traccia lo spaccato del nuovo e complesso fenomeno migratorio italiano.

A Mattress Maker's Daughter richly illuminates the narrative of two people whose mutual affection shaped their own lives and in some ways their times. According to the Renaissance legend told and retold across the centuries, a woman of questionable reputation bamboozles a middle-aged warrior-prince into marrying her, and the family takes revenge. He is Don Giovanni de' Medici, son of the Florentine grand duke; she is Livia Vernazza, daughter of a Genoese artisan. They live in luxury for a while, far from Florence, and have a child. Then, Giovanni dies, the family pounces upon the inheritance, and Livia is forced to return from riches to rags. Documents, including long-lost love letters, reveal another story behind the legend, suppressed by the family and forgotten. Brendan Dooley investigates this largely untold story among the various settings where episodes occurred, including Florence, Genoa, and Venice. In the course of explaining their improbable liaison and its consequences, A Mattress Maker's Daughter explores early modern emotions, material culture, heredity, absolutism, and religious tensions at the crux of one of the great transformations in European culture, society, and statecraft. Giovanni and Livia exemplify changing concepts of love and romance, new standards of public and private conduct, and emerging attitudes toward property and legitimacy just as the age of Renaissance humanism gave way to the culture of Counter-Reformation and early modern Europe.

From earliest times, angels have been seen as instruments of salvation and retribution, agents of revelation, and harbingers of hope. In effect, angels are situated at the intersections of diverse belief structures and philosophical systems. In this book, Meredith J. Gill examines the role of angels in medieval and Renaissance conceptions of heaven. She considers the character of Renaissance angelology as distinct from the medieval theological traditions that informed it and from which it emerged. Tracing the iconography of angels in text and in visual form, she also uncovers the philosophical underpinnings of medieval and Renaissance definitions of angels and their nature. From Dante through Pico della Mirandola, from the images of angels depicted by Fra Angelico to those painted by Raphael and his followers, angels, Gill argues, are the touchstones and markers of the era's intellectual self-understanding, and its classical revival, theological doctrines, and artistic imagination.
