Nel Medioevo in Liguria gli 'statuti' conservano le caratteristiche politiche e sociali delle comunità cittadine e rurali: hanno la stessa denominazione le norme delle loro interne orga-nizzazioni come corporazioni di mestiere, famiglie e ospedali. In tal modo esse possono pre-servare la propria tradizione culturale in connessione con un più vasto contesto giuridico e spirituale.
ITALIANO: Anche in età medievale l'organizzazione del territorio costituisce rivelatore ed esito di politiche di diverso respiro, in cui possono interagire una larga gamma di attori, che plasmano e riconfigurano spazi di intervento. La realtà ligure è qui sondata attraverso quattro situazioni – separate cronologicamente, ma con un minimo comune denominatore nella bassa visibilità e nella scarsa efficacia dell'incastellamento – che vedono protagonisti la maggior città, Genova, sia nel definire il suo immediato circondario tra secolo X e XI, sia nel fissare i primi caposaldi dell'espansione territoriale costiera nel secolo XII; gruppi signorili che originano da pubblici uffici, poggiano su una consistente base di terre e di poteri e nel secolo XIII riqualificano la propria presenza intervenendo sull'assetto insediativo rurale; un piccolo villaggio dell'entroterra osservato in maniera ravvicinata fino alle soglie dell'età moderna. / ENGLISH: The organization of political space results from shifting equilibria where a range of actors interact, continuosly resettling specific ambits. Ligurian is sampled via four situations in different centuries but all characterized by low visibility and modest effectivness of castles. Genoa is analized first as it defines its territory in the 10th-11th centuries, and then as it establishes strongholds for expansion along the coast in the 12th century; powerful lords remoulding the form of rural settlements in the 13th century are examined; an inland village is closely observed up to early modern times.
(Family nicknames and segments of kinship in Liguria [16th-20th centuries]) Family nicknames provide a useful tool to understand the inner structure of kinship during the ancient régime. This paper charts the ways in which collective nicknames were shaped and reshaped within a Ligurian village between the 16th and the 20th centuries. Such development is linked with the process of cohesion and disruption that runs through a hegemonic kinship from a demographic, economic and political point of view. According to our findings, far from being an essencially monolithic and solidaristic structure, kinship betrayes a complex inner configuration, and one made up of ruptures, alliances, conflicts and mediations among segments of competing kins. Recurring first names as further signs of identification of subkinship segments are also examined and the paper casts light upon the meaning of such segments in their relationship with the commons and usage of material resources, prerogatives and symbolic value. ; On this topic: Massimo Angelini: L'enigma Garibaldo - Invenzione della tradizione, parentele e comunanze in un villaggio rurale di antico regime.

En este artículo se analiza (el empleo) la reintroducción de la arquitectura en sillares en época medieval en la ciudad de Génova. Las investigaciones realizadas en esta ciudad y su territorio han mostrado como este tipo de tecnologías constructivas, empleadas en el período altoimperial, se han abandonado a partir del medio imperio, y solamente se documentan en Génova a partir del siglo XII en el contexto de arquitecturas realizadas por las élites urbanas. A través de las fuentes escritas se ha podido identificar a los autores de estas primeras construcciones, que aparecen en la documentación con el nombre de «magistri Antelami», que podríamos identificar como canteros especializados provenientes del valle del río Intelvi. Se conoce la presencia de estos canteros a partir del siglo XII en fábricas realizadas por aristócratas residentes en la colina Castello de Génova. Como estos maestros estaban con anterioridad especializados en el trabajo de la madera, se sugiere que se hayan especializado en la estereotomía en Medio Oriente a través de las operaciones militares y comerciales realizadas en Tierra Santa por Génova en este siglo.

Even today the remains of the three fortresses of Castel Gavone, Castel S. Giovanni and Castelfranco loom above the heights of Finale Ligure. Built in different time and historical contexts, they are witnesses of the transformation occurred in Finale Ligure from the late Medieval to the Modern Age. This paper focuses on this last timeframe and on the changes that took place on the whole fortress system during the 70s of the 17th century. These events are intertwined with one important figure of the Duchy of Milan: the military engineer Gaspare Beretta. The paper is based on the existing literature and sheds further light on the defense system through a deep analysis of manuscripts of the Ambrosian Library and two unpublished drawings. The goal is to open new research horizons and, together with the recent reuse project of Castelfranco, to renew the interest in this Cultural Heritage.

The XVII century is considered as the most important period for the formation of the first structured coastal protection of the Gulf of La Spezia. Famous coeval events, having Genoa's Republic involved in a state of confusion within European powers, lead to a significant reinforcement of the defence of the territory. The new structures, heading to the existing fortress of Santa Maria and forming a precise layout of the coastal towers along the western side of the gulf, were capable of observing and contrasting all types of naval attacks. Today this system appears mostly dilapidated: part of it was adapted for the construction of a new arsenal during the nineteenth century, while some buildings were wiped out by the urban expansion. In the municipality of Porto Venere, the only surviving tower from the XVII century is "Torre Scola", which is recognized as an outstanding element within the local landscape, and since 1997 included in the UNESCO's site of "Porto Venere, Cinque Terre and the islands". The aim of this paper is thus to contribute to the knowledge of this heritage almost completely erased, but which remains as evidence of the first stage of militarization of La Spezia's Gulf.
In the 6th century in Liguria Maritima, which had returned under Byzantine control, archaeological and epigraphic sources rather than the rare written documents confirm that women in a class of local possessores played a leading role, along with the Byzantine civil and military hierarchies. The presence in Albenga (Savona) of at least two rural churches that were also used as cemeteries (S. Calocero and S. Vittore) indicates that there was a privileged social class that probably continued to wield significant political power or carried out important administrative functions. In the more outlying areas with respect to the antique Roman municipia, groups of burials emerged near early-Christian churches based on the presence of an aristocratic social class that not only chose privileged funerary sites but also commissioned expertly and artistically decorated stone sarcophaguses or carefully crafted masonry graves. This lends plausibility to the theory that even after death it was the intention of the deceased to ensure that their power and prestige would endure, a situation also confirmed by the type of container used to preserve the body. The social and cultural level of these wealthy classes is exemplified through elaborate female funerary epigraphs, like those of Honorata and Heliades (Albenga), Maria (Capo Don), Paula (Pieve in Finale) and, above all, Domina Lidoria (S. Paragorio in Noli). Based on these texts it can be postulated that during a period of transformation and change – like the one following the end of Roman political control – women played a central role in the political framework of western Liguria Maritima.
The importance of L. Aemilius Paullus Roman Expansion in the first half of the second century B.C. is shown by his victory at Pidna. However, in previous years, he hold the Praetorship in Hispania Ulterior and the Consulship in Liguria, where he defeated some indigenous peoples. The study of the terms applied to the defeated population in these areas would offer a new comparative context on both sides of the Mediterranean, which must be considered in the light of Rome's foreign policy and management of the war. ; El papel de L. Emilio Paulo en la expansión romana de la primera mitad del siglo II a. C. está representado por su victoria en Pidna. Sin embargo, en los años anteriores desempeñó la pretura en Hispania Ulterior y el consulado en Liguria, donde consiguió someter a diversos pueblos indígenas. El estudio de las cláusulas aplicadas sobre los vencidos en los tres ámbitos geográficos de su actuación militar nos ofrece un nuevo marco comparativo en ambas vertientes del Mediterráneo, que debe valorarse a la luz de las grandes líneas de actuación de Roma en política exterior y gestión de la guerra.

ITALIANO: Il testo ripercorre la vita di Vittorio Poggi, sulla base del suo archivio, in particolare del carteggio. Dopo un breve cenno alla famiglia si esaminano i suoi studi giovanili, l'inizio della professione forense e l'ambiente in cui maturano i suoi ideali; nel 1859, con la seconda Guerra di Indipendenza, l'entusiasmo patriottico lo spinge ad arruolarsi volontario e, successivamente, alla decisione di rimanere nell'esercito. La carriera militare lo porterà nei luoghi, soprattutto in Toscana, dove approfondisce lo studio dei reperti e della lingua etrusca; è in contatto con i maggiori studiosi tedeschi e italiani, fino a essere considerato un'indiscussa autorità in materia. Al termine della carriera, ritornato in Liguria, ricopre numerose cariche in ambito culturale a Genova e a Savona, intensificando l'attività di studio e di edizione di testi. / ENGLISH: The text reviews the life of Vittorio Poggi, based on his archives, in particular his correspondence. After brief reference to his family, it describes his early studies, the beginning of his legal profession and the setting within which his ideals take shape; in 1859, with the Second War of Independence, his patriotic zeal encourages him to sign up for military service as a volunteer and, subsequently, to remain in the army. His military career leads him in locations, especially in Tuscany, where he deepens further his study of Etruscan remains and language; he builds contacts with the foremost German and Italian scholars, so as to become an undisputed expert in the field. At career end, he returns to Liguria, where he holds numerous cultural appointments in Genoa and Savona, further concentrating on his studies and editing of texts.
