pp. 14, 16, 14, cb, 12, 20, 1 tav. Le cinque “note” che compongono questo scritto sono di importanza capitale per la storia dell’astronomia: oltre a ipotizzare la lentezza di rotazione di Venere, Schiaparelli conclude che il pianeta sia avvolto costantemente da una coltre di nubi: è il primo scienziato a formulare quest’ipotesi nella storia dell’astronomia, ipotesi che – insieme ad altre – sarà destinata a resistere fino ai nostri giorni. La serie è estratta manualmente dai volumi dei “Rendiconti” del Reale Istituto lombardo di scienze e lettere. Compresa la tavola. In these five “note”, Schiaparelli reports his discoveries about the slow rotation of Venus, and for the first time makes the hypotesis on the blanket of clouds surrounding the planet, that is considered his discovery. The serie is materially taken from the volumes of the “Rendiconti del Reale istituto lombardo di scienze e lettere”, including the plate.

In-8°; cc. (12). Edizione originale del poema di Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola, una delle prime fonti sulla collezione di statuaria antica conservata al Giardino del Belvedere in Vaticano. Scritto nell’ultimo anno del pontificato di Giulio II (1503-1513), l’opera sottolinea la passione per le antichità classiche che con questo papa divenne una vera e propria moda nella Roma del tempo. Molti si domandarono se fosse idoneo consevare nel tempio della cristianità una collezione che esaltava anche le divinità pagane. Pico, seguace della corrente savonaroliana che denigrava la cultura rinascimentale del recupero e dell’imitazione dei classici romani e greci, si serve di quest’opera per stigmatizzare questa contrasto, proponendo nei suoi versi la Vergine Maria come contraltare alla Venere classica, presentando la collezione del vaticano come la manifestazione fisica della corruzione culturale e morale della Roma di Giulio II. Nella lettera a Francesco Giraldi, umanista ed erudito nativo di Ferrara, datata 1512, Pico offre una sorta di panoramica sulle statue collocate nel Belvedere: sono tra le prime parole che vengono spese sul posizionamento in quel luogo di quello che fu il simbolo della rinascita del classico, il gruppo del Laocoonte ritrovato presso la Domus Aurea nel 1506 e acquistato da Giulio II. Vengono anche citate la statua di Apollo e Cleopatra, e la grande immagine del Tevere. Giovanni Francesco Pico della Mirandola (1470-1533), nipote di Giovanni Pico, autore di una biografia su Savonarola, si fece portavoce di una difesa degli insegnamenti cristiani contro la nuova cultura nascente. Salvatore Settis, Sonia Maffei, Ludovico Rebaudo, Laocoonte, fama e stile: “La matrice antica del luogo, giardino delle Esperidi, luogo ideale per l’ozio filosofico, centro della nuova politica di Giulio II colpisce Giovanni Pico della Mirandola; è li che egli ambienta il De Venere et cupidine cogliendo la natura pagana del luogo: Laocoonte e le anticaglie solo identificate per veloci evocazioni, sono quasi come idoli chiamati ad animare il regno di Venere e della vana venustas”. The original edition of the poem by Pico della Mirandola, one of the first sources on the collection of ancient statues preserved in the Belvedere Vatican Garden. Written during the last year of pontificate by Julius II (1513), the work underlines the passion for classic antiquities that became, with this Pope, a fever in contemporary Rome. Many was wondering if it was suitable to put a heaten sculpture collection in Vatican. Pico, follower of Savonarola in blaming Renaissance culture of recovery and imitation of Roman empire, through this work means to criticize the moral and cultural corruption of Iulius II Rome, putting this collection as its physical manifestation, and in his verses he puts the Holy Mary to counterbalance the classic Venus. In his letter to Giraldi, Pico offers a bird’s eye view on statues put in Belvedere. These are between the first words spent about the putting in this place of a symbol of Classic rebirth: the Laocoon found in the Domus Aurea area and bought by the pope.
" In the spring of 1820, on the Aegean island of Melos, an unsuspecting farmer was digging for marble building blocks when he unearthed the statue that would come to be known as the Venus de Milo. From the moment of its discovery a battle for possession ensued and was won, eventually, by the French. Touted by her keepers in the Louvre as the great classical find of the era, the sculpture gained instant celebrity - but its origins had yet to be documented or verified.From the flurry of excitement surrounding her discovery, to the raging disputes over her authenticity, to the politics and personalities that have given rise to her mystique, Gregory Curtis has given us a riveting look at the embattled legacy of a beloved icon and a remarkable tribute to one of the world's great works of art" 272p. illus. bibliography. index.
