«A multiplicity of languages and cultures has entered the Italian school environment»: that is what is written in the introduction of the Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell'infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione (MIUR, 2012, p. 8). The ministerial document, which forms the framework for school curricula, describes the de facto multilingual situation which can be observed in all kinds of educational environments and in communities. In infancy educational services and in schools, the presence of girls and boys who practice another language at home has long been widespread and on the increase. After describing the pluralistic linguistic repertoires featured in schools, the essay presents some evidence collected in two kindergartens in Milan, as part of a training course. Teachers were invited to use a map of intra-family communication during interviews with foreign parents, in order to outline the children's language biographies, and to know the strategies and choices of the family. In the second part, the focus will be on some autobiographical fragments taken from literary texts in which the authors highlight the stages and steps they have gone through in their history of native bilinguals. Finally, a review of the legislation dealing with the themes of mother tongues, multilingualism and linguistic diversity in childcare and schools is presented. ; «Una molteplicità di lingue e culture è entrata nella scuola italiana. L' intercultura è già oggi il modello che permette a tutti i bambini e ragazzi il riconoscimento reciproco dell'identità di ciascuno»: così si legge nella parte introduttiva delle Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo della scuola dell'infanzia e del primo ciclo di istruzione (MIUR, 2012, p. 8). Il documento ministeriale, che fa da cornice ai programmi scolastici, descrive la situazione multilinguistica di fatto che si osserva nei luoghi educativi per tutti e nelle comunità.

In the world of sport, and in particular in that of football, biographies, a literary genre that is usually associated with the stories of political and historical figures rather than the lives of great sports champions, have become more and more important for a few years,. This article analyses the official biographies of four football legends, authentic planetary icons, such as that of George Best, Johann Cruyff, Diego Armando Maradona and Francesco Totti. Through the comparison of some common episodes (the first kicks, the debut in professionalism, the transition from a "simple" player to a global phenomenon) we tried to understand, from the analysis of the individual biographies, if it is possible to trace a "narrative scheme" that can meet the expectations of the readers and strengthen their relationship of identification with their idol. ; Nel mondo dello sport, ed in particolare in quello del calcio, da alcuni anni hanno acquisito sempre più importanza le biografie, genere letterario che solitamente viene invece associato alle storie di personaggi politici e storici piuttosto che alle vite di grandi campioni sportivi. In questo articolo vengono analizzate le biografie ufficiali di quattro leggende del calcio, autentiche icone planetarie, quali quella di George Best, Johann Cruyff, Diego Armando Maradona e Francesco Totti. Attraverso la comparazione di alcuni episodi comuni (i primi calci, l'esordio nel professionismo, il passaggio da "semplice" calciatore a fenomeno globale) si è cercato di comprendere se dall'analisi delle singole biografie è possibile rintracciare uno "schema narrativo" che cerca di soddisfare le aspettative del lettore e ne rafforzi il rapporto di identificazione con il proprio idolo.
Nell'ambito di un'indagine sull'identità del rivoluzionario nel XIX secolo, calata tra gli attivisti coinvolti nella Comune di Parigi, si è trattato di selezionare quelle autobiografie scritte e pubblicate da comunardi come parte integrante della loro attività politica, e così porre il problema del rapporto tra pratica autobiografica e rivoluzione, ovvero chiarire le condizioni del passage au récit, la scelta autobiografica e insieme la mise en intrigue tra esperienze individuali e rivoluzione. Questa ricerca si presenta dunque come un lavoro sulle pratiche autobiografiche all'interno delle pratiche di attivismo politico, ovvero più specificamente sulla relazione tra autobiografia e rivoluzione. In altri termini si analizza il modo in cui i rivoluzionari narravano la loro identità in pubblico, perché lo avessero fatto e cosa veicolavo in termini di stili di vita e convinzioni particolari. In quanto rivoluzionari, l'autobiografia diviene fonte e parte di ciò che essi reputavano in quel momento la propria traiettoria rivoluzionaria, la narrazione di quella che in quel momento ritenevano comunicare al pubblico come propria identità narrativa. La ricerca si articola in tre momenti. Nel primo capitolo analizzo le biografie, o meglio un piccolo gruppo tra la massa di biografie di comunardi edite all'indomani della Comune da parte della pubblicistica tanto ostile quanto partigiana della Comune. Queste narrazioni biografiche diffuse nei mesi successivi alla repressione della rivoluzione comunalista consentono di affrontare una delle condizioni fondamentali del passage au récit autobiografico che si manifesterà solo posteriormente. Il secondo e il terzo capitolo sono dedicati a due progetti autobiografici di diversa natura: la trilogia autobiografica di Jules Vallès (1879, 1881, 1886) e le Mémoires di Louise Michel (1886). ; As part of an investigation of revolutionary identity in the XIX century, declined on the activists involved in the Paris Commune, it was to select those life-stories written and published by the Communards as part of their political activity, and thus to pose the problem of the relationship between autobiographical practice and revolution, clarify the conditions of passage au récit, the autobiographical choice and the mise en intrigue of the individual experiences and revolution. This research thus provides an inquiry of the autobiographical practices within the practices of political activism, or more specifically on the relationship between autobiographical narratives and revolution. I analyse the way in which the revolutionaries told their identity in public, the reasons why they had done and what they spreaded in terms of lifestyles and beliefs. As revolutionaries, the autobiography becomes a source and a part of what they considered their revolutionary path, the narrative of what at that time they believed to communicate to the public as their own narrative identity. The research is divided into three parts. In the first chapter I analyse the biographies, or rather a small group among the mass of published biographies of Communards after the Commune. These biographical narratives help address one of the fundamental conditions for the passage au récit which will be appeared only later. The second and third chapters are dedicated to two autobiographical practices of different nature: the autobiographical trilogy of Jules Vallès (1879, 1881, 1886) and Memoirs of Louise Michel (1886).
Entrepreneur, urban planner, politician, editor, the Italian intellectual Adriano Olivetti (1901-1960) proposed a novel reading view of modernity and demonstrated that an alternative way, one that was complex and disinterested in the common good, was possible. Relying on previously unexploited research drawn from Olivetti's library and various archives, this intellectual biography reconstructs the life of Adriano Olivetti looking through the lens of the specifics of his territory and his family, the scientific management, urban planning, anti-fascism, entrepreneurial activity and politics, thereby providing a global and historically-based interpretation of the man and his thought. Adriano Olivetti was born in Ivrea, in the Canavese. Situated between Aosta and Turin, this small rural town had little industry when, in the early twentieth century, his father Camillo Olivetti founded a typewriters' factory. Camillo was a socialist of Jewish origin, whose wife was Waldensian, and his son was educated in religious freedom and would become a Catholic. As an engineering student, Adriano Olivetti supported the principles of autonomy and of federalist socialism, before focusing on scientific management which he had observed in the USA. In the early '30s he became the director of the company, where he inaugurated the scientific management of mass production. He subsequently noticed that the modernization of industry, conceived as the only means to generalize the well-being, generated serious social and urban problems. As a result, as the company grew larger and conquered foreign markets, he coordinated an urban plan of the Val d'Aosta. An antifascist, he contributed to the fall of Mussolini by working with the Allies. While exiled in Switzerland, he developed a plan for the reform of Italian institutions which would set the territories at the center of politics, the "Communities" that would allow the citizens to participate more directly in the management of politics, economics, urban and social development. When in 1945 ...

This contribution proposes an analysis of «La donna italiana: giornale politico-letterario», journal published in Rome in 1848 by Cesare Bordiga. The newspaper - issued for only 24 numbers, from April 22 to November 11 of the same year – is founded with the aim of emphasizing the importance of women in the Italian Risorgimento and it moves onto a double line, one political and one literary: alongside the chronicle of the present upheavals are poems, short stories, biographies and anecdotes aimed at urging the citizens to contribute to the struggle for Unity. Among the pages of the periodic are the voices of the most famous Italian poetesses and patriots of the early nineteenth-century together with personalities as Filippo Meucci and Mazzini. In this way thoughts and lives of women collaborating to the newspaper form a talking catalog of illustrious women living in an time when biographical catalogs have a specific civil and educational function. The magazine highlights, therefore, how in this phase of the unitary history woman's exaltation is a way to contribute to build Italy and contains several elements of investigation on the cultural context of Rome during the Risorgimento as well as the Papal States' role in the unitary process. The editors, in fact, emphasizes more than once the active part that Rome has in the uprisings and the fact that the city must be considered the symbolic guide of the nation by virtue of the past glory of the Imperial Rome. ; This contribution proposes an analysis of «La donna italiana: giornale politico-letterario», journal published in Rome in 1848 by Cesare Bordiga.

Il giornale – edito per soli 24 numeri, dal 22 aprile all'11 novembre dello stesso anno – nasce con lo scopo di sottolineare l'importanza delle donne nei moti risorgimentali in atto e si muove su una doppia linea, quella politica e quella letteraria: accanto alla cronaca dei rivolgimenti sono presenti poesie, racconti, biografie e aneddoti volti a sollecitare le cittadine e i cittadini a contribuire alla lotta per l'Unità. Tra le pagine del periodico si ritrovano le voci delle poetesse e patriote più famose del primo Ottocento italiano affiancate a quelle di personalità di rilievo come Filippo Meucci e Mazzini. I pensieri e le vite delle donne che collaborano al giornale formano così un catalogo parlante delle donne illustri viventi in un'epoca in cui i cataloghi biografici hanno una specifica funzione civile e formativa. La rivista mette in evidenza, dunque, come l'esaltazione della donna in questa fase della storia unitaria sia un modo per contribuire a costruire l'Italia e contiene diversi elementi di indagine sul contesto culturale della Roma risorgimentale, nonché sul ruolo dello Stato Pontificio nel processo unitario. I compilatori, infatti, sottolineano più volte la parte attiva che Roma ha nei moti e il fatto che la città debba essere considerata la guida simbolica della nazione in quanto rappresentante della gloria passata della Roma Imperiale.

Storie d'anarchia per 50 ritratti. Racconto corale di immagini, sogni, canzoni e storie di Pietro Spica e Lorenza Pezzica è un volume che racconta per immagini, per ritratti e per canzoni la storia del movimento anarchico euro-americano. Dalla forte chiamata iconologica, grazie ai ritratti di Pietro Spica che affiancano ogni biografia, scopo di questo volume è dimostrare l'esistenza di una linea continuativa, unitaria, fatta di costanti, del movimento anarchico. Proprio il movimento tra la pagina scritta e la rappresentazione, a volte fiera, arcigna o divertita delle figure raccolte nel volume, aiuta a visualizzare l'ampiezza del tema, il lascito materiale di questi pensatori, la tangibilità di queste biografie.

Der Artikel befasst sich mit einigen Werken, die in Deutschland anlässlich des 500-jährigen Reformationsjubiläums erschienen sind. Zahlreiche Biographien des 'Christen' Luther liegen vor, welche oftmals über Abbildungen verfügen, die der Gemeinschaft der Gläubigen die Grundsätze der Reformtheologie vermittelten. Daneben gibt es Studien, die die Reformation aus einem umfassenderen Blickwinkel nicht nur als europäisches und deutsches Problem im besonderen, sondern auch in ihren außereuropäischen Wirkungen betrachten. In diesem Zusammenhang kristallisieren sich einige Grundaspekte heraus, die viele der hier diskutierten Werke auszeichnen, so die Konzentration auf die Bedeutung, die die Reformation und der Protestantismus heute besitzen, oder die Frage, ob eine kritische Analyse der Sprengkraft, die vom Ende der Einheit der Christen in Europa ausging, auch zum Verständnis des heutigen religiösen Fundamentalismus beizutragen vermag. Die italienische Historiographie hat sich ebenfalls mit dem Thema der Reformation auseinandergesetzt, sowohl in Form von Lutherbiographien, aber auch mit überzeugenden, traditionelle Ansätze überwindenden Versuchen, über die Folgen der Reformation in Italien nachzudenken. ; This survey examines some works published in Germany for the anniversary of the Reformation. Alongside numerous biographies of Luther as a 'Christian', often accompanied by illustrations used to communicate to the faithful the principles of Reformed theology, these include works that take a broader approach, examining the Reformation not just as a European and specifically German issue, but also tackling its effects in areas outside Europe. Many of the studies considered here share some significant features: the question of the significance of the Reformation and Protestantism today and, on the other hand, the issue of whether or not the critical study of the enormous impact, including on a political level, of the end of Christian unity in Europe may help us to understand some of the features of contemporary religious ...
L'articolo intende ricostruire i principali momenti della militanza antifascista femminile in Tunisia. Il lavoro inizia ripercorrendo brevemente la storia della comunità italiana in Tunisia e la nascita del movimento antifascista, ma pone l'accento sulla militanza femminile nel movimento. Delle militanti conoscevamo solo alcune donne borghesi che hanno lasciato traccia del loro operato attraverso la pubblicazione di biografie. Grazie alla consultazione del fondo del Casellario Politico presso l'Archivio Centrale di Stato, sono emersi i fascicoli di diciassette donne italiane impegnate nella lotta al fascismo in Tunisia, donne delle quali non avevamo alcuna notizia. Integrando le informazioni tratte dalle biografie con quelle ricavate dai fascicoli dell'Archivio di Stato, è stato possibile ricostruire a tutto campo l'attività antifascista femminile. ; This article aims at illustrating the keys stages of the anti-fascist militant movement carried by women in Tunisia. The work begins recreating briefly the history of the italian communities in Tunisia and the birth of the anti-fascist movement, underlining the importance of women's involvement. Little is known about those activists, whose traces could only been found in published biographies. Moreover, dossiers regarding seventeen italian women, actively involved in the anti-fascist conflict, could also be found consulting the Central Archives of the State. Combining information taken from the biographies and the dossiers, a bigger picture of the women's anti-fascist activism could finally be traced.
[EN] Giovanni Battista Antonelli before his arrival in Spain in 1559, being in his thirties, had spent the first part of his life in his native country, Italy. The present research concentrates on this territory and those years: a context of wars, captains, architects, theorists and treatises, many known and less known personalities who influenced Antonelli military engineering education. More detailed information appear in Italian archives about Giovan Francesco Guidi di Bagno and Antonelli: the first, Count of Montebello, was an important mercenary captain for the more powerful personalities, while the second was, at that time, at his service. Fiduciary and family relationships interlinked around the Count Guidi and others eminent personalities such as Giovanni Battista Belluzzi called "Sanmarino", Cosimo I Medici up to Juan Manrique de Lara and Vespasiano Gonzaga Colonna, to mention the main ones. This investigation tries to shed light on the first part of Antonelli learning, as he took part to the War between Florence and Siena and in the Naples Kingdom. He subsequently left for Flanders with the Spanish army and reaching eventually Spain. During Felipe II Reign, after having written the Epitomi, he started the well known career of Antonelli family as military engineers. It was especially Battista, the younger brother, one of the main representatives in the history of military engineering, especially between the 16th and 17th centuries. ; Useli, G.; D'amato, M.
