John Chiantore. In 1918 the widow of Arturo Graf Loescher entrusted him with the publishing house she had inherited from her first husband, Hermann Loescher, the founder. Before dying, the publisher of Turin opened its publishing house, Chiantore among other good things also published the book that will speak to you now.
Campanella This book is the first volume of the series "City of the Sun" and the date 1945. The series published "Political Writings" by classical and modern. In addition to Campanella include Fichte, Cattaneo, G. Montanelli, Guizot (you can read the list tape published in volumes and planned).
1945, or the moral rigor of Italian. During the early years after World War II the Italian publishing is poor in clothes, in the paper (that sometimes seems taken directly to the fish market), but is rich and austere in the proposals. In truth Campanella was not even during the two decades: the drone held by the Gentile Renaissance had passed, in part, the spontaneous resistance against the socialist utopia of Sun City, which offers adventure Norberto Bobbio by Einaudi in 1941 in the second issue of the series "New Collection of Italian classics recorded. But is the war who sees the resurgence of items to be entrusted with the reference to the civil conscience, moral and democratic reconstruction. The culture was trying to pull and draw policy, and did it with weapons which could provide characteristic: classic, excellent academics. Despite the Italian Academy has always been the place of wives, there is no doubt that it was enlivened by great intellectuals who were able to create and consolidate a tradition and a school (well, maybe sometimes putting their students in the classroom, but there are other roads?).
Of all the controversies and the witch hunt that is done these days on academics, on parentopoli in the universities, I would ask Brunetta in the sixteenth (which is already a challenge than measuring the proportions of the original), muttering today, as are elected ministers, under secretaries, the racks, etc..: not for competition. And the world of entertainment, journalism, has many strange kinship relations? Either you really believe that the X-Factor Francesco Facchinetti is by chance, while the quality that led him to wave in the silly program is pure talent? - Divago, saying nonsense (in the sense of speaking of idiots).
Luigi Firpo was, for better or for worse, one of these great intellectuals, university professors who have raised Italy and attempted to draw the attention of the political class to do, lives on the categories of politics. It was not yet born wicked fashion of political weakness, softness of the ideal ... but that's another story: the Facchinetti are not just on TV, but also in teaching and in newspapers, and the real problem is the scientific credibility of the University itliana and not the mode of recruitment of its teachers.
Firpo, I said, is the curator of this collection of political writings campanelliani and the torment of life in the Calabrian monk becomes enthusiasm and participation in the intellectual history of Turin, which seems to get excited for a moment the struggle, lonely and desperate, Campanella leads against the three enemies of the time: "tyranny, sophistry, hypocrisy" and armed with only his pen. A man like that, which recognizes in principle (moral and civil suits, not the heirs of radiation), his enemies, and enemies of the time, and not a particular politician raddensatosi lump on the ground of his country, a man so I say, is destined to suffer, to lose, especially when and if he decides to take the real weapons, and to drag the people into a rebellion and well-founded sacrosanct.
Yet Campanella dreamed union moral, political and civil men (at least those ordered in Christianity). Beware: I did not say he dreamed of peaceful coexistence, but the union, the real and material unity of all, a reflection of the great metaphysical and cosmic unity that dominates the thinking of the Renaissance, in whatever profile you take. The great Renaissance units, that sense of fullness and emptiness, before and after, day and night, finite and infinite, love and sorrow, great and small ... that is not a model precursor of relativism, as well as some might believe, but the ultimate essence of the power that you act, the intention is proof of that act, done.
Most of these speeches, addressed to the Netherlands, Italy and the principles of the Kingdom of Naples, are a sort of Machiavellian Prince down: not seek to justify and encourage the power as such, but to establish and shore up Realpolitik time with some basic political principles and ideals. For the Italian princes, he says, more or less: the Roman Empire is universally appreciated, because universal, but now all states are broken, and the only political reality that seems to resemble or aspire to universality that is the Church of Rome, the papacy, it is a need to address it. The point here is that the Church is encouraged as an instrument of unity and universal Supreme simply because no Catholic, any form of special power, that care and take care only to their exclusive interest, not only will fail, but is doomed to failure because unfounded, not conforming to the truth.
Campanella says:
anything after the nation lost the empire was able to recover it more: though there is hope in Italy, for the stars even contradict each other. Only there is this glory of the papacy, and it is so great that all Christian princes kiss the feet of our prince, who did the Roman emperor, and he raises and lays all the principles, and laws to the universe, and is Head inland and seat of the monarchy of the school of God, and what they have all the principles he is subject, in time is at least indirectly as directly in the spiritual (pp. 96-97).
The Awakening of Italy after the war is accompanied by a call to unity of the nation, the people of conscience, of the factions that picked up their banners and their war trophies on the same battlefield. How can a country so awakened by fascism in the end eat bologna in Parliament, in a total renunciation of any cultural system and all the other nonsense of recent times? Would you say that these lands have passed the big names of the Renaissance?
From the band:
The generous utopia of universal monarchy reasserted with tireless zeal to be controversial, with profound conviction of their mission as a prophet of the new century and establish the kingdom of the Gospel of the one fold and one shepherd.
