Dante a écrit des lettres tout au long de sa vie et de son activité d’écrivain. Cette remarque peut sembler banale ; toutefois, il est rare que ces épîtres, de qualité et d’intérêt variables, soient connues hors du cercle étroit des spécialistes. À vrai dire, même les spécialistes leur ont rarement accordé l’attention qu’elles méritent. Et pourtant, les épîtres en disent long sur les pratiques d’écriture du temps, puisqu’elles héritent de la longue tradition d’un enseignement de la compositio...

L’enquête sur la pratique de l’écrit dans le milieu des fraticelles italiens se poursuit avec l’examen de deux manuscrits conservés à Florence et probablement produits dans cette ville au cours de la dernière décennie du XIVe siècle. Après une introduction historiographique et un examen du contexte qui souligne l’enracinement local des fraticelles au cours du siècle, la description détaillée des deux témoins permet de formuler une hypothèse sur leur production, comme mémorial et propagande, après la condamnation et l’exécution de l’une des figures centrales du mouvement en 1389.

L’article étudie la place du Codice diplomatico dantesco dans les études dantesques depuis un siècle, en trois étapes : 1921 (Barbi), 1965 (Contini), et la période récente. Le rapport aux sources documentaires a changé, notamment en fonction des liens entre les domaines de recherche, ou des échanges, y compris politiques, entre les générations de chercheurs. L’intérêt renouvelé pour l’étude des documents a conduit les auteurs à revoir l’ensemble de la documentation concernant Dante et sa famille., This essay studies the place of the Codice diplomatico dantesco in a century of Dante studies, through three focuses: 1921 (Barbi), 1965 (Contini), and the recent period. The relationship to documentary sources has changed, in particular when we look at the links between the research’s areas, or at the many exchanges, including the political ones, between generations of researchers. The renewed interest in the study of archival sources has led the authors to review all the documentation concerning Dante and his family.

Background: Mortality from acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is strictly related to early management. As female patients usually experience longer delays before diagnosis and treatment, we assessed whether women were more affected by the dramatic drop in hospital admissions for ACS during the Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of clinical and angiographic characteristics of consecutive patients who were admitted for ACS at 15 hospitals in Northern Italy comparing men and women data. The study period was defined as the time between the first confirmed case of Covid-19 in Italy (February 20, 2020) and March 31, 2020. We compared hospitalization rates between the study period and two control periods: the corresponding period during the previous year (February 20 to March 31, 2019) and the earlier period during the same year (January 1 to February 19, 2020). Incidence rate ratios comparing the study period with each of the control periods were calculated with the use of Poisson regression. Results: Of the 547 patients who were hospitalized for ACS during the study period, only 127 (23%) were females, accounting for a mean of 3.1 admissions per day, while ACS hospitalized males were 420, with a mean of 10.2 admissions per day. There was a significant decrease driven by a similar reduction in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) diagnosis in both sexes compared to the control periods. A trend toward a greater reduction in admitted females was shown in the intra-year control period (46% admission reduction in females vs 37% in males, with females accounting for 26% of ACS, P=0.10) and a significant reduction when compared to the previous year control period (40% admission reduction in females vs 23% in males, with females accounting for 28% of ACS, P=0.03), mainly related to Unstable Angina diagnosis. Conclusion: The Covid-19 pandemic period closed the gap between men and women in ACS, with similar rates of reduction of hospitalized STEMI and NSTEMI and a trend toward greater reduction in UA admission among women. Furthermore, many typical differences between males and females regarding ischemic heart disease presentations and vessel distribution were leveled.

L’articolo prende in esame il contributo di Gian Luca Potestà agli studi sugli Spirituali francescani. L'interpretazione del fenomeno da parte dello studioso è organizzato lungo tre linee: la cronologia e i protagonisti, la produzione ascetica e la posterità, il rapporto con Gioacchino e la letteratura gioachimita. L’article propose une vision d’ensemble de la contribution de Gian Luca Potestà aux études sur les Spirituels francisains. Son approche du phénomène peut se décrire selon trois grandes perspectives : une attention à la chronologie et aux parcours des protagonistes ; les écrits ascétiques et leur postérité ; le rapport avec Joachim de Fiore et la littérature joachimite. The article examines Gian Luca Potestà's contribution to the study of the Franciscan Spirituals. The scholar's interpretation of the phenomenon may be described along three lines: the chronology and the protagonists, their ascetic production and its posterity, the relationship with Joachim of Fiore and Gioachimite literature.

Background: There are limited data regarding the impact of final kissing balloon (FKI) in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention using ultrathin stents in left main or bifurcations. Methods: All patients undergoing left main or bifurcations percutaneous coronary intervention enrolled in the RAIN registry (Very Thin Stents for Patients With MAIN or BiF in Real Life: The RAIN, a Multicenter Study) evaluating ultrathin stents were included. Major adverse cardiac event (a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, target lesion revascularization, and stent thrombosis) was the primary end point, while its components, along with target vessel revascularization, were the secondary end points. The main analysis was performed comparing patients with and without FKI after adjustment with inverse probability of treatment weighting. Subgroup analyses were performed according to FKI (short [

AIMS The safety and efficacy of single vs. dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in patients undergoing TAVI remain to be addressed. The aim of our study was to evaluate the usefulness of a DAPT compared to a single platelet therapy in patients undergoing TAVI with a balloon-expandable prosthesis. METHODS AND RESULTS All consecutive patients enrolled in the ITER registry were included. Patients undergoing TAVI discharged with aspirin alone were compared to those taking DAPT before and after selection using propensity score with matching. Subgroup analysis was performed for those on OAT. Prosthetic heart valve dysfunction at follow-up was the primary endpoint, whereas all-cause death, cardiovascular death, bleedings, vascular complications and cerebrovascular accidents were the secondary ones. From 1,364 patients, after propensity score with matching, 605 were selected for each group (aspirin alone vs. DAPT). At 30 days, rates of VARC mortality were lower in patients with aspirin alone (1.5% vs. 4.1%, p=0.003), mainly driven by a reduction of major vascular complications (5.3% vs. 10.7%, p

The contribution analyses the scattered but numerous indications of a contribution from the friars belonging to the convent of SS. Giovanni e Paolo in Venice at the first Latin diffusion of Marco Polo’s Devisement dou monde starting both from the possible attribution to this milieu of the Latin version Z, realised in the first thirty years of the fourteenth century, and from the presence of Marco in the document of 1323 which certifies the ratification of the legacy of Giovanni delle Boccole to the convent, and finally from the traces of literary activity of personalities in relationship with it, a network of preaching friars emerges in relationship with other nearby convents (in particular Treviso) and with the first two generations of Paduan humanists (in particular Albertino Mussato). These elements, if developed with wider investigations on the patrimony of the Venetian convent, can provide new insights for the interpretation of the Dominican appropriation of Marco’s text., Filologie medievali e moderne

This book is the result of a fruitful exchange between the textual studies about Marco Polo’s Devisement dou Monde and the socio-historical research regarding Mendicant Orders. The Order of Preachers, in particular, includes the figure of the Venetian merchant as an auctoritas in the area of anthropological knowledge of Eastern traditions, through a Latin translation process contributing to evangelization in Asia. The aim of this book is to analyze the Dominican reception hybridizing philological and linguistical with historical and archival methods. The crossing of these research trajectories led to the finding of a parchment that testifies definitively the trusting relationship between Marco and the preachers of SS. Giovanni e Paolo convent. This convent is a key cultural center in the humanistic environment of Veneto, within which the Latin version Z is elaborated. This research has shed light on several fundamental moments of the P Latin version’s textual history, exploring the material aspects of manuscript witnesses as well as the textual relation with the vernacular source and Francesco Pipino’s Chronicon. Finally, an investigation is dedicated to the edifying adaptation of Marco Polo’s tales in Nicoluccio d’Ascoli’s sermons. The Dominican reception of Devisement dou Monde has relevant consequences for the text and its circulation, hopefully this book suggests a new perspective on Marco Polo and Dominican studies, stimulating further research.

The article proposes a reading of the novels of Alberto Prunetti, in the light of his critical reflection on working class literature. The author studies the relationship of Prunetti’s reflection with the debate on ‘literature and industry’ held in the ‘Menabò’ in the 1960s, in order to appreciate innovations and limits of this new perspective. A comparison is then proposed with contemporary French working class literature, in particular with the novels of Edouard Louis. On the basis of the different treatment of the two competitive concepts of Pride and Shame used by the writers, the author concludes that Prunetti’s writing is characterized by a heroic attitude, while Louis’ one, influenced by Ernaux and Eribon, is more pessimistic and intersectional., Italianistica

Intento di questo contributo è quello di studiare l’ars dictaminis in rapporto alla diffusione del fenomeno della traduzione nella Toscana medievale (secc. XIII-XV). In particolare, l’articolo mette in discussione la vulgata storiografica che individua un “eccezionalismo” della regione in ragione dell’estensione del fenomeno dei volgarizzamenti nonché nella capacità di sottrarsi ai dettami della tradizione tipicamente mediolatina del dictamen producendo una retorica di impianto oratorio incentrata sull’uso del volgare. Dopo una breve panoramica degli studi sul dictamen degli ultimi anni, viene studiato il rapporto tradictamen e volgare in due contesti, che sono stati scelti per la loro vicinanza e differenza: Bologna e Firenze. Di quest’ultima si è tentato di fornire le linee-guida dell’influsso del dictamen in particolare in un autore (Brunetto Latini) che è solitamente considerato particolarmente eversivo nell’uso e nella concezione della retorica; si è quindi passati a verificare la permanenza del modello retorico-dictaminale imposto da Brunetto, grazie all’apporto di fonti estranee all’ars (in particolare Albertano da Brescia), nel XIV secolo, misurandone la consistenza in una linea che da Andrea Lancia porta al notaio episcopale Francesco da Barberino. Ne risultano, quindi, due modelli differenti – uno bolognese, uno fiorentino – che emergono come tali anche nelle scelte librarie della tradizione manoscritta, che viene analizzata nell’ultimo paragrafo. The purpose of this contribution is to study the ars dictaminis in relation to the diffusion of the phenomenon of translation in medieval Tuscany (XIII-XV centuries). In particular, the article calls into question the vulgate which identifies an “exceptionalism” of the region due to the extension of the phenomenon of vulgarization as well as the ability to escape the dictates of the latin tradition of dictamen producing an oratory focused on use of the vernacular. After a brief overview of the recent literature on the dictamen, the relationship between this latter and the affirmation of the vernacular is studied in two contexts, Bologna and Florence. Such a comparaison has provided the guidelines for studying the influence of the dictamen, particularly in an author (Brunetto Latini) who is usually considered to be particularly subversive in the use and conception of rhetoric; we then proceeded to verify the permanence of the rhetorical model imposed by Brunetto, thanks to the contribution of other sources (in particular Albertano from Brescia), in the fourteenth century, measuring its consistency in a line that led by Andrea Lancia to the episcopal notary Francesco da Barberino. The result is two different models - one from Bologna, one from Florence - which emerge as such also in the manuscript tradition, that is analyzed in the last paragraph., Carte romanze, V. 6, N. 1 (2018)
