Paperback. Condition: New. Today, the Ludovisi district is one of Rome's most luxurious neighborhoods, home to famous restaurants and some of the most expensive shops in the city. But it was once private property, part of an eighty-six-acre villa owned by the Boncompagni Ludovisis, an ancient noble family with close ties to the papacy. The story of how the palazzo fell out of the family's hands reveals the tremendous social upheavals that Italy underwent following its mid-nineteenth-century unification.   First privately published in 1921, The Twilight of Rome's Papal Nobility provides an intimate look at a family who grew up accustomed to almost unimaginable wealth, power, and glamour. A descendant of two popes, Ugo Boncompagni Ludovisi recounts the life story of his mother Agnese, who was raised in a palace full of priceless artwork, including pieces by Caravaggio and Michelangelo. We get a window into Agnese's private life-her girlhood, marriage, and raising of several children-as her public life becomes increasingly tumultuous amid the family's struggles to retain its property. A tender elegy to a bygone era, Boncompagni Ludovisi's story provides a unique perspective on Italian history and Rome's urban redevelopment.…

Brossura. Condition: new. Illustrations by Oliosi C. Translation by Tomasi M. English Text. Trieste, 2020; paperback, pp. 214, b/w ill., cm 16x23. "Trieste e la scienza. Storia e personaggi" diventa "Trieste and Science. A History and its Protagonists". Il libro, uscito nel 2018, è stato aggiornato al 2020 e tradotto in inglese per soddisfare le richieste di chi non padroneggia l'italiano, come i tanti ricercatori stranieri che lavorano a Trieste. La traduzione è di Maura Tomasi. Il libro raccoglie le storie di settanta personaggi che dall'inizio dell'Ottocento hanno lasciato un segno nel mondo scientifico italiano e mondiale, e che con Trieste hanno avuto un legame fondamentale. Un excursus storico-divulgativo spiega inoltre i fattori sociali, economici e politici che hanno determinato a Trieste un terreno così fertile per il pensiero scientifico, senza dimenticare il presente e le nuove sfide che attendono la città della scienza. Raccontando la storia di scienziati e scienziate scopriamo la loro connessione con il territorio, i momenti salienti della loro carriera con particolare attenzione a quelli legati a Trieste, ed anche l'importanza della loro ricerca. Per alcuni la città ha rappresentato il fulcro della loro vita e carriera, per altri un momento determinante e per altri ancora il luogo di nascita o di morte. Una parte del libro, infine, racconta cos'è diventata e com'è cambiata Trieste oggi in ambito scientifico, quali sono le linee di ricerca e in quali istituti si stanno seguendo, ipotizzando le prospettive future.
