The theme for the group yesterday was a portrait but also the appearance, or rather the semblance images, and indeed in the bibliography section, the next we are, in addition to portraits, even the ghosts, because basically it is a portrait a ghost, in the etymological sense (ghost comes from the greek phantàsima , shape, appearance. clipboard).
But yesterday's meeting was also the first of the new year, so I chose some of the most beautiful examples in the rich collection of nineteenth-century Almanacs Piacenza library, and we have read here and there of the songs: The Almanacs are the ancestors of practice Agendas: along with the calendar, however, reported more news of local interest, such as hours of care (we are one of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century, and not in Italy but in the Duchy of Parma and Piacenza), days markets and fairs (there were also those of livestock), times prediction, useful information for work in the fields. Usually then you add more pages on various topics, and there were poems, sometimes humorous sometimes serious. Many of the Almanacs were monographs, that is dedicated to a specific subject: the so called Childhood was intended to raise funds for Kindergartens Piacenza, through the sale. Just on "Childhood" in 1855 we find a brief but significant indication of the educational differences (which were then regarded as normal practice) to be followed in respect of children, free to move and run around everywhere, and girls, forced instead to sit constantly on no better specified "toilet seat": perhaps the high chairs. Another almanac was entirely devoted to a curious argument: it is called Almanac magnetic-spirit and he advanced, unique, in areas rarely visited spiritualism. And here also, incidentally, women are immediately presented as subjects magnetizable better because of their docile nature, passive, easily suggestible.
legggere Then I wanted some numbers to one of the first student newspaper citizens The Squola, of which the library owns the years 1955-56: a great success. This magazine, first of all era stampato in modo estremamente professionale (forse qualcuno aveva dei genitori tipografi o redattori del quotidiano locale!) e poi usa un linguaggio che in alcuni casi è di un'attualità incredibile; oltre a ciò, è straordinariamente spassoso; quindi vi trascrivo qua sotto un'autentica perla che ha fatto ribaltare tutti dalle risate, ma non è che una fra le tante: l'articoletto (dal numero del 17 marzo 1955) firmato CRITICUS, s'intitola
Latinoque
Cum magistra in aula intrata, eius adventus acceptus est magno cum clamore, fischis choribusque suorum discipulorum, qui cogitant felicem oram esse transituri. Nemo, ut solitum est, lectionem scit, sed omnes volunt esse interrogati et hoc accidit quia, notum est, eos [mi sembra che ci dovrebbe essere il nominativo: ii, e non l'accusativo: eos - n.d.r.] qui monstrant se esse parati numquam fregati sunt. Sed pulchrum est videre quod accidit inter bancos dum magistra aliquem interrogat. Alii ad briscolam iocant in santa pace, alii paninos imbottitos a suis sociis fregatos magna cum fame ateque adpetito manducant, alii romanos, gazzettas et etiam verba cruciata legunt. Est autem caput classis qui compitum habet ut soldos colgat pro alluvionatis, sed vero in illa busta omnia intrat, cum soldibus medaglias antiquas atque cerinos, et pomorum buccias et ciccas et panis fregolas [ma forse: briciolas - n.d.r.] , atque alia innominabilia. Tamen quoniam omnia pro causa servit semper pervenimus primi cum magna gloria. Tandem campana sonat et clamor magistram saluta quae de aula exiit.
CRITICUS
Ed ora, la bibliografia sul ritratto e l'apparenza:
- Ritratti d' artista , di Susan Vreeland (Neri Pozza 2005). Collocazione: NA VRE SUS
