Il 22 giugno 1636, nei dintorni di Tornavento, tra gli Spagnoli che occupavano il Milanese, capitanati dal marchese di Leganes, e l'esercito invasore dei francesi, alleato deiPiemontesi e comandati dal maresciallo di Crequi, fu combattuta nell'ambito della Guerra dei Trent'Anni una sanguinosa battaglia che lasciò 2.000 morti nella brughiera. Una cronaca dettagliata di questo fatto d'armi si trova narrata diffusamente nell'Historia d'Italia di Girolamo Brusoni, edita nel 1656. Ogni anno l'evento è rievocato con una manifestazione folcloristica.

Il sesto libro delle Storie imperniato sulla ribellione delle citt greche contro re Dario di Persia e su quella guerra che, pur tra gelosie, contrasti e ripicche, le vide finalmente unite battere l'invasore a Maratona e ricacciarlo indietro.

La battaglia di Capo Colonna (conosciuta anche come battaglia di Stilo) fu combattuta nelle giornate del 13 o 14 luglio 982 nella zona prossima a Crotone, in Calabria, tra le forze dell’imperatore Ottone II ed i suoi alleati del nord, i Longobardi, da un lato, e, dall'altro, quelle di Abu l-Qasim Ali Emiro di Sicilia della dinastia dei Kalbiti. Alcune fonti affermano che i musulmani sarebbero stati aiutati dai bizantini stanziati da tempo nell'Italia del Sud, in rappresaglia per l’invasione della provincia dell’Apulia da parte di Otto, ma non ci sono conferme a questa storica accusa. Peruffo nella sua approfondita analisi storica pone fine ad una lacuna che vedeva sostanzialmente ignorata questa grande importante battaglia del primo evo.

Directed by Nello Santi. Starring Angelo Nardinocchi, Giorgio Cebrian, Ezio Maria Tisi.

Il volume inaugura la serie editoriale denominata "Quaderni della Fondazione Centro Studi Tiziano e Cadore", che ospiterà i risultati di ricerche originali e di particolare impegno promosse dalla Fondazione stessa e atti di incontri scientifici promossi e attuati nell'ambito delle sue attività istituzionali. La battaglia vinta dalle truppe della Serenissima contro l'Imperatore Massimiliano d'Austria rappresenta un momento cruciale per definire il ruolo storico della Repubblica tra le grandi potenze dell'epoca e testimonia l'importanza che ha avuto per i veneti la difesa della libertà e dell'autonomia delle proprie istituzioni. La scelta di affidare al grande Tiziano Vecellio la realizzazione di un'opera che tramandasse il ricordo di quella vittoriosa battaglia, testimonia come fossero chiari per la Serenissima il significato politico e il valore civile di quella vittoria.

Mario Puzo wrote a book and Coppola made a film about the Mafia, but only Letizia Battaglia told the real story, the plain, harsh story. She told Vice that her mission was “to document everything that acted as testimony against the Mafia.” Drago is proud to announce its new project: an anthology, curated by Paolo Falcone, of Letizia Battaglia’s extraordinary photographic work, from 1971 to 2016. Letizia Battaglia (Palermo, 1935) is a Sicilian photographer and photojournalist. Although her photos document a wide spectrum of Sicilian life, she is best known for her work on the Mafia. Over the years, Battaglia took some 600,000 images whilst documenting the ferocious internal war of the Mafia, and its assault on civil society. Battaglia sometimes found herself at the scene of four or five different murders in a single day. In a recent interview with CNN, Battaglia claimed that her “archives are full of blood” interspersed with images that capture the “immense beauty” of Sicily. The Daily Beast wrote that her pictures capture “Mafia judges and police officers, many dead in their cars with blood so fresh it glimmers like water.” Yet some present daily Sicilian life with “young girls playing on the cobbled streets and wealthy women in fur collars sipping champagne.” A large selection of her iconic black and white images will be presented in the catalogue, guiding the reader along a journey into one of post-war Italy’s darkest periods. Drawing from Battaglia’s personal archive the book also includes more recent projects. It offers a unique approach to her genre-defining photography (often linked to that of American ‘crime’ photographer Weegee) and a chance to reflect on the role of photography as an individual and collective means for taking action, bearing witness, providing evidence and documenting history.

L'immagine NarranteAutore: Mariadelaide CuozzoEditore: ?Electa NapoliAnno: 2000Pagine: 160Formato: BrossuraAl confine tra illustrazione e narrativa grafica, l'opera di Dino Battaglia si colloca in una posizione assolutamente originale rispetto agli standard del fumetto.

The manuscript of Il Fior di Battaglia is in the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, Ms Ludwig XV 13. It is dated to about 1410, and was written by Fiore dei Liberi. This book is a complete representation of the Art of Arms (armizare), on foot, on horseback, in armour, out of armour, wrestling, dagger, sword, spear and pollax. Even wrestling on horseback! The book is written in Italian, and there is no translation, introduction or commentary included in this edition. We have made one change to the current binding. It is obvious from the content that folio 38 should be bound between folia 14 and 15, so we have placed it there, but retained the folio numbers for the convenience of modern scholars accustomed to the current page order as bound. We have produced this facsimile from scans in the public domain, which you can find online at wiktenauer.com. It is as close to the size of the original manuscript as possible with current print-on-demand technology. Our intention in publishing it is to produce an affordable reproduction that duplicates as closely as possible the experience of handling and owning the original, but at a reasonable price. This is indispensible reading for any scholar of medieval history, swordsmanship, medieval and renaissance combat, or re-enactment.

Over 300 newly published works by Letizia Battaglia (born 1935), one of Italy’s most celebrated photographers, are collected in this major new survey spanning the entirety of her 30-year photographic career. In photographs and contact prints from Battaglia’s own archive, the book offers a comprehensive review of her work’s civically engaged model for photography, typified by her iconic depictions of political protests and Mafia killings in her native Palermo in Sicily, taken while Battaglia was employed as photography director at the leftist daily newspaper L’Ora.Including portraits of subjects such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, the mob boss Leoluca Bagarella and the Sicilian politician Piersanti Mattarella (assassinated by the Mafia), the photographs in this collection showcase Battaglia’s attention to the most decisive events in Italy, both political and cultural, along with non-newsworthy records of the daily lives of people in Palermo.

Ilaria Tuti’s debut thriller explores a remote community in Northern Italy—a place of secrets, eerie folktales, and primal instincts.   In a quiet village surrounded by ancient woods and the imposing Italian Alps, a man is found naked with his eyes gouged out. It is the first in a string of gruesome murders.   Superintendent Teresa Battaglia, a detective with a background in criminal profiling, is called to investigate. Battaglia is in her mid-sixties, her rank and expertise hard-won from decades of battling for respect in a male-dominated Italian police force. While she’s not sure she trusts the young city inspector assigned to assist her, she sees right away that this is no ordinary case: buried deep in these mountains is a dark history that may endanger a group of eight-year-old children toward whom the killer seems to gravitate.   As Teresa inches closer to the truth, she must also confront the possibility that her body and mind, worn down by age and illness, may fail her before the chase is over.

Armizare ("the Art of Arms") was the name the warriors of medieval Italy gave to their martial art, which included the wielding of sword, axe and spear with wrestling, knife-fighting and mounted combat. In the waning years of the 14th century, Fiore dei Liberi was a famed master of this art, whose students included some of the most renowned and dangerous fighting men of his day. Toward the end of his life, Master Fiore preserved his teachings in a series of illustrated manuscripts, four of which have survived to the present day, and have become the basis of a world-wide effort to reconstruct this lost martial art. However, because medieval books were written for an audience with different expectations than the modern readers "how-to" manuals, today's students often have trouble understanding the old swordsman's choices in including, omitting or organizing information as he did. They may see that fighting art was a system, but lack the background to see the systematic instruction of the book itself. In Armizare: The Chivalric Martial Arts System of il Fior di Battaglia, Robert Charrette brings together his experiences as a martial artist and respected 14th century living historian with his skills as a professional author graphic artist to not only take readers on a walking tour of Master Fiore's manuscripts, but into the mindset behind its creation. More than just an interpretation of an old book's contents, this is a tool-kit that reveals Fiore dei Liberi's brilliance as not just a fighter, but as martial arts teacher. Whether a long-time student, a newcomer to the art or a more academic devote of the medieval warrior and his craft, readers will find themselves educated and entertained as a door is opened into another time and place - the training hall of the medieval knight.

As part of the ambitious Tutto Verdi project, the rarely performed La battaglia di Legnano is available for the first time on DVD and Blu-ray. The patriotic war story of La battaglia gives a taste of the real-life revolutionary ideals of the composer, as he delivers a thinly veiled exhortation to throw off the bonds of foreign rule for love of country.
