Abstract: The roots of the Italian commedia dell’arte stretch back to the Atellanae Fabulae, popular farces of ancient Rome. Modern descendants can be found in the antics of a comic like Charles Chaplin. But as an institution it was unique — a perfected theater of improvisation where gifted actors created some of the most memorable characters the theatre has ever seen. It was from this enchanting world that Harlequin and Punch, the Doctor and the Captain, Pantaloon and Brighella emerged to reign over Europe for three centuries. Writers, composers, and painters have drawn inspiration from the commedia; its influence is obvious in the work of Lope de Vega, the English Elizabethan dramatists, Moliére, Callot, Watteau, Cézanne, and Picasso.One of the most important books written on this aspect of theatrical history is this famous study. Tracing the beginnings, growth, and influence of the commedia dell’arte, Duchartre describes the improvisations, staging, masks, scenarios, acting troupes, and characters that made up this special form of theater. Unfortunately, the English translation that appeared in 1929 has been out of print for decades, leaving scholars and theater lovers without a valuable source. This republication brings Duchartre’s account back into print, illustrated with the more than 200 drawings and photographs it originally contained, plus a new pictorial supplement containing 35 plates from the Recueil Fossard, a rare collection of sixteenth-century engravings, and eight plates from Compositions de rhétorique de M. don Arlequin, which gives a view of Harlequin during the Renaissance.Here are some of the reviews this book originally received: “A scrupulously studious work, and a sympathetic one … valuable sourcebook.” — Bookmarks. “Exhaustive and scholarly but hilariously entertaining treatment.” — Christian Century. “The author has gleaned from every source well-ordered information which makes this volume a complete seismographic record of one of the greatest eruptions of the comic spirit in all times.” — Saturday Review of Literature.This republication is sure to be no less well received. It has already merited an enthusiastic response from Eric Bentley: “A very important standard work. Its unavailability of recent years — of recent decades — has been a calamity for all who work in the field. Its reappearance will make a big difference. Dover has earned the gratitude of a whole profession.”.

The Great Adventure of the Global Chip Industry and an Italian-French Company that Makes the World Go Round Foreword by Nicolas Dufourcq and Maurizio Tamagnini. Bocconi University Press. Milano, Egea 2023, cm.15x23, pp.192, brossura copertina figurata a colori. Semiconductors and chips have become increasingly indispensable, present in everything from smartphones and cars to home appliances and medical devices. However, we often fail to recognize the significant technological and creative efforts that go into creating these “life companions.” While it’s commonly assumed that technological innovations are exclusively produced in Asian factories or American laboratories, few realize that there has been a “Silicon Europe” of industrial and technological excellence across France and Italy for decades. At the heart of this region lies STMicroelectronics, a world-leading chip company. Through the history of ST and European microelectronics, journalist and writer Marco Bardazzi takes readers on an incredible journey that documents the ideas, inventions, stories, and people behind the technologies and objects that have revolutionized our lives in recent decades. Bardazzi also sheds light on the cutting-edge technology sector that is pivotal to new generations and future jobs, in which Europe is playing an essential role. Dagli smartphone alle automobili, dai computer alle smart tv, dagli elettrodomestici ai dispositivi medici, viviamo in un mondo in cui i semiconduttori e i chip sono sempre più indispensabili. Tuttavia, pochi sanno che nel nostro continente esiste da decenni una vera e propria "Silicon Europe", un'area di eccellenza industriale e tecnologica distribuita tra Italia e Francia e che ha il suo cuore in un'azienda leader mondiale dei chip: Stmicroelectronics. Marco Bardazzi ci guida in un viaggio sorprendente svelando i retroscena di un settore tecnologico all'avanguardia e centrale per le nuove generazioni e i lavori del futuro, in cui il nostro paese e l'Europa giocano un ruolo da protagonista.
