  The Environment at the Summit

  Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)

  The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

  History, architecture and heritage: building the architectural identity. Milan, Europe (1796-1848)

  Ce colloque international propose une réflexion collective et transdisciplinaire sur les multiples significations du concept de patrimoine architectural, artistique et culturel dans la période comprise entre la fin du XVIII^e et la première moitié du XIX^e siècle. Le champ géographique d’investigation s’ouvre aux principales villes italiennes et européennes qui ont été touchées par le phénomène de redécouverte mais aussi de réutilisation - parfois abusive - de leur patrimoine architectural et culturel au cours de cette période. Le colloque propose ainsi de réfléchir sur le concept de « patrimoine » entre 1796 et 1848 en Europe, son évolution et ses interprétations en rapport avec l’histoire de l'architecture et de la ville.

  Tradition, Persistence, and Innovation in Artistic Craftsmanship and in Building and Architectural Production between the Napoleonic Era and the Restoration

  Milan in a European Context

  With Milan proclaimed first the capital of the Cisalpine Republic in 1797 (from 1802, Italian Republic) and then in 1805 the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, the city was challenged to reconsider and rebuild its image and its urban spaces in order to adapt them to its new role. Part of a network of capitals responding to a single central power, both political and cultural, Milan experienced a period that featured significant incentives for public and private architectural building works and for the transformation of urban spaces. These conditions make the Lombard capital a privileged context in which to investigate the multiple forms of organization of artisanal and artistic work, as well as the circulation of people and materials. The seminar aims to reflect on the dialectic between the new status quo and the centuries-old stratified traditions inherent to the Milanese territory, also taking into consideration the Restoration period, when, in the new political-administrative structure of the Lombard-Veneto Kingdom, Milan, while remaining the capital, found itself in a new context that established a variety of artistic geographies.

  Venice, a Mediterranean regional power

  Economic, maritime and political perspectives, 1669-1797

  This seminar aims to explore the relationship between Venice and the Mediterranean between the loss of Crete, the last major dominion of Venetian maritime empire in 1669, and the end of the Republic in 1797. Through the analysis of economic and commercial exchanges, naval activities and diplomatic/military relations of the Serenissima in the Mediterranean, we aim to discuss the dynamics of transformation and adjustment of the Republic’s new status as a regional power faced with the challenges of an Inner Sea crossed and populated by more powerful and richer competitors.

  Economics and politics according to Ferdinando Galiani

  Ferdinando Galiani n’a pas bénéficié de colloque totalement consacré à ses écrits économiques et politiques. Ses écrits littéraires et sa correspondance, ont été à plusieurs reprises, examinés, largement traités et publiés. Ce colloque a en vue de mobiliser des compétences différentes, soit économiques, soit historiques, dans la perspective d'une collaboration interdisciplinaire. Il s’agit d'un côté de tenter une reconstruction aussi complète que possible de l’analyse économique de Ferdinando Galiani, à travers ses deux ouvrages principaux : Della Moneta et Dialogues sur le commerce des blés. La question posée et peu traitée est celle de la relation entre ces deux ouvrages. Il s’agit aussi de mobiliser dans les archives, ses rapports sur les questions de commerce et de manufacture, de droits de douanes et de taxes, tous les textes que Galiani a pu produire en qualité de secrétaire d’ambassade ou en qualité d’expert et de membre du conseil du commerce du royaume de Naples. Ceci dans un contexte où l’agriculture représentait une question centrale pour le développement économique et où la concurrence internationale extrêmement agressive représentait un vrai problème pour l’État.

  Unusual actors

  Forms and effects of the informal action in the Caribbean, between legality and illegality (XVII-XXI century)

  What is the role of informal institutions in the evolution of the economic, political and social aspects of Caribbean basin? Diacronie will analyze the economic and social development of the area, focusing on the role played by informal actors, namely the ones moving between legality and illegality, that were able (or are able) to give the individual (no matter if a customer, consumer or merchant) what the laws prohibit. The objective is to examine both contemporary phenomena and phenomena which, although related to the early modern age, have generated long-term consequences in the history of the regions related to it.
