Full textAbstract:
The history of Scots-Italian “male” encounters has an air of violence and brutality, one epitomized from ancient times by relentless “Picts” defending their lands from Roman invasions and by fearless mercenaries of the middle Ages protecting Italian cities. Such a peculiar waltz of animosity and loyalty created a deeply ingrained bond between the two cultures, until the first waves of rather “harmless” Italians started coming to Scotland, particularly to Glasgow, since the nineteenth century. These immigrants have irreversibly influenced the spatial and social infrastructure of the city, mainly through their connection with the catering business and the consequent establishment of ice-cream cafés and fish and chip shops. Now, they have to defend and “mark” their territory again. This essay is concerned with the autobiographical stories and memoirs of Joe Pieri, a Glasgow Italian fish and chip café owner, whose main events take place in the 1920s and 1930s. The main argument of this essay is that spatial narration in Pieri’s accounts influences the construction of his and other masculinities. By examining four of his autobiographical works, I consider how these narratives spatially construct a wide variety of masculinities through their various defence and adaptation strategies in the poverty- and delinquency-stricken Glasgow of the period.

Full textAbstract:
Catholics in Scotland and their historians have recounted their past in several ways. We have many celebrations of the faithful Irish immigrant steadfastness while their Scottish-born brethren have had at best negligible recognition.2 At the other extreme the Banffshire-born conservative priest Rev. Aeneas Dawson airbrushed the Irish from his massive nineteenth-century history: even Daniel O'Connell did not merit a mention. On the other side, the pioneering lay activist James Walsh virtually ignored native-born Scots in his monumental study.3 In more recent times several historians have begun to capture something of the complexity of the Catholic experience.4 The independent-minded Catholic laity, restless Irish-born clergy and working class leaders have received consideration. Highlanders, Italians, Lithuanians, Belgians, Poles, English, converts and religious orders of men and women have received some long overdue attention.5 Some leading clerical and lay figures who tried to create and sustain a sense of community now have their biographers.6

Full textAbstract:
Historians of the Scots College in Rome have pictured the period 1773–1798, when the Rectors were Italian secular priests, as a time of student unrest which provided very few priests for work in Scotland. This article, by examining some letters from students of the period to former companions, and evidence in the College Register, suggests a considerably revised picture. The students, although often hostile to their superiors and nostalgic for their ‘ancient happiness’ under Jesuit rule, and convinced that the appointment of a Scottish Rector would solve their problems, are seen to have included some committed young men with a ‘gude conceit of themselves’, concerned for others and for the welfare of their college, and destined to play a larger part than has been previously thought in the work of the Catholic Church in Scotland.

Full textAbstract:
A jurisdiction such as the Scottish one, reputedly with solid Roman roots, is practically bereft of the fundamental concept of a deposit in the concluding passage of the missives. Conversely, the relevant ‘ancestor’ (Roman law) has been profoundly permeated, throughout the course of its history, by the notion of an arrha (the earnest) in the conclusion of a contract annexed to the transfer of heritable properties. Moreover, in contemporary times and outwith Scotland, a Continental jurisdiction (the Italian one) is resolutely lingering on the Roman caparra penitenziale while, ironically, the English system (comprehensively ‘un-Roman’ in its formation) has expressly adopted the ‘deposit’ as part of the closing particulars. These asymmetries, brim-full with inviting legal ingredients, seem, in the present work, to conjure up an intriguing and captivating plot worthy of an Indiana Jones’ film, where the lost treasure can be deemed replaceable, for the distracted reader, by the ancient Roman notion of an arrha, so evidently not inherited by the contemporary Scottish jurisprudence. Ultimately, the contribution engenders the usual unsettling query: in the light of the phenomenology of the arrha so neglected in Scotland in contemporary times, is Scottish law still a mixed legal system or, conversely, a jurisdiction progressively getting closer to the English common law counterpart?

Full textAbstract:
In the wake of the demolition of the Berlin Wall and the erection of the Maastricht Treaty, intense debate rages over all factors contributing to both unity and diversity in Europe. While issues circulating around markets, currency, and national sovereignty receive greater play in the media, the discussion of parallel issues of European legal unity has been more longstanding. The case can be made that Europe (with the exception of England) has long had a great degree of legal unity. The Roman civil law and the canon law of the church, with some texts of feudal law, became a common learned law, the ius commune, developed and disseminated in the universities in the Middle Ages. This written legal heritage spread from Italian schools, beginning with Bologna, and was “received” in Germany, France, Spain, and even Scotland in the course of the sixteenth century. It was displaced finally with nineteenth-century codifications of national law, which strove to enshrine the legislatively enunciated genius and uniqueness of the nation.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article offers the first analysis of Anglo-Scottish tension at the general ecclesiastical council of Pavia-Siena (1423–4), where Thomas Murray, abbot of Paisley, spearheaded attacks on the English delegation in the name of the French and Scottish kingdoms with Castilian and Italian allies. Murray’s attacks illustrate how the council formed a front line in the ongoing Anglo-French conflict and that the tensions between the kingdoms of Scotland and England played out on a European stage wider than is usually recognized. While it is often dismissed as a non-event, the article establishes that Pavia-Siena formed a more significant centre for international diplomacy than historians have allowed.

Full textAbstract:
In 1998 the author published ‘Genetics, linguistics and prehistory: thinking big and thinking straight’, a critique of late twentieth-century attempts to synthesize the disciplines of genetics, linguistics and archaeology. This paper assesses subsequent progress, using examples from various parts of the world, including Britain, Denmark, Finland, France, Frisia, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Micronesia, Portugal, Spain and the Canary Islands. The growing importance of mitochondrial DNA and the Y chromosome, rather than classical population genetics, is emphasized. The author argues that ancient DNA and early linguistic data should be used more. Languages mentioned include Aquitanian, Basque, Celtiberian, Etruscan, Finnish, Hungarian, Iberian, Lepontic, Lusitanian, Pictish, Raetic, ‘Tartessian’, Thracian and the Ladin dialect of the Italian Alps. Aspects of the ancient linguistic geography of Scotland and the Iberian peninsula are discussed, as is the difficulty of deciding the direction of spread of Indo-European and non-Indo-European languages. The potential of ancient place and personal names is illustrated from Celtic.

Full textAbstract:
Throughout the second half of the sixteenth century, the scholar and collector Gian Vincenzo Pinelli (1535–1601) welcomed poets, mathematicians, antiquarians, and astronomers from every corner of Europe to his vast private library in Padua. These scholars left their mark on Pinelli’s collection, annotating his manuscripts, trading texts, and even making contributions of their very own to his library. This article considers the English and Scottish scholars who visited Pinelli’s collection and the works they gifted to Pinelli. These manuscripts, now preserved at the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan, include an impressive breadth of material, ranging from treatises on England’s schism with Rome to verse commemorating the deaths of fellow scholar–poets. Pinelli, it emerges, was not only hosting scholars from England and Scotland, but also gathering reports, discourses, and what was in many cases highly sensitive intelligence on both nations. These manuscripts thus bear witness to the importance of the Italian private library to the transmission of both ideas and physical texts across the Continent, shining new light on a literary culture that was able to cross and transcend national boundaries.

Full textAbstract:
Associated with such life writing genres as (auto)biographies and memoirs, anecdotes are described as stories which “illustrate particular ideas, concepts, and views of the way a life is lived, making considerable editorial commentary on the nature of a particular ideological moment and the effect of that moment on individual lives.”(Encyclopedia of Life Writing) Anecdotes thus focus on, and highlight, episodes of a person’s life by transforming them into tales and stories using fictional narrative techniques and suspenseful plot twists.
Having emigrated from Italy to Scotland at the beginning of the twentieth century and established his fish and chip shop in Glasgow, Joe Pieri was then interned and turned into an “enemy alien” on the day Italy declared war on Britain in 1940. In Isle of the Displaced, his book about this traumatic event, Pieri turns the most marking aspects of his journey to, and life in “Camp S” in Canada into a series of witty and comic anecdotes. This paper focuses on the definitions and history of anecdotal theory in order to analyse Pieri’s fictionalisation strategies and the way these stories function as a psychological dam in times of crisis, in addition to re-inscribing these important events in British and Italian histories. The main contention of this article is that the appeal of fiction increases during life’s most difficult times mainly thanks to the imaginative and tragic-comic powers of literariness.

The aim of the research is to reflect on the recent project promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry policies (MiPAAF), which is aimed at the identification and cataloguing of Italian historical rural landscapes. The research has been developed through a twofold path: (I) the investigation and comparison of the Italian proposal with similar projects at international level; and (II) the application of the Italian methodologies to some study areas in the national territory. In accordance with the dual course of reflection and analysis, the thesis is articulated into two parts to which the conclusions follow.
The first part is dedicated to the investigation of the institutional projects on historical rural landscapes, adopted at national and international level, and their comparative study.
The second part is specifically focused on the Italian proposal by means of applications and discussion of the ministerial methodologies.
The final chapter, as a conclusion of the whole work, gathers possible orientations for the Italian project, as a result of the comparison with the international projects and the application of the Italian methodologies in the selected study areas.Il lavoro di ricerca si è proposto di studiare il recente progetto di individuazione e di catalogazione dei paesaggi rurali storici italiani, promosso dal Ministero delle Politiche Agricole, Alimentari e Forestali (MiPAAF). L’articolazione del lavoro si è sviluppata attraverso un duplice percorso: (I) la ricerca e il confronto con simili progettualità attive a livello internazionale e (II) l’applicazione delle metodologie proposte per il progetto italiano su alcune aree studio del territorio nazionale. In virtù del duplice percorso di riflessione e di analisi, il lavoro di tesi è articolato in due parti alle quali seguono le conclusioni. La prima parte è dedicata alla presentazione dei progetti istituzionali sui paesaggi rurali storici, attivi a livello nazionale e internazionale, e al loro studio comparativo; la seconda parte è specificamente incentrata sull’analisi della proposta italiana, attraverso l’applicazione e la discussione delle metodologie proposte. Chiude la tesi un capitolo conclusivo che raccoglie possibili indirizzi di sviluppo futuri per il progetto italiano, maturati dal confronto con le esperienze internazionali e dall’applicazione dei metodi sui casi di studio scelti.
