Pivati Gianfrancesco
Pivati's Nuovo dizionario is a bold contribution to Italian cultural debate in the middle of XVIII century. The wide, useful and interesting knowledge it contains is often taken from Hebrew, Greek, Latin, French, Spanish and English, as well as Italian. “The subjects treated are well researched and generally presented in a simple, direct style (…)”. Pivati’s liberal voice was out of the chorus in the context of the rigid conformity predominated troughout the Italian peninsula. “He appears to be committed to Reason and Science as opposed to simple Faith, but he tries to avoid any direct challenge to the dogmatic teachings of the Church”.

Pivati Gianfrancesco
Il Nuovo Dizionario di Pivati rappresenta un coraggioso contributo al dibattito culturale nell’Italia di metà Settecento. Il suo ricco e interessante studio sugli usi e costumi, sempre di ampio respiro e presentato in stile semplice, attinge al mondo ebraico, greco, latino, francese, spagnolo, inglese e italiano. La posizione liberale di Pivati è di sicuro fuori dal coro e si colloca in un contesto di rigido Conformismo predominante nella penisola italiana. “Sembra affidarsi alla ragione e alla scienza e opporsi alla semplice fede, ma allo stesso tempo cerca di evitare un’aperta sfida agli insegnamenti dogmatici della Chiesa”.

- 19th Century Etching of the Ancient Column of Trajan in Rome by Luigi RossiniBy Luigi RossiniLocated in Alamo, CAThis early 19th century etching entitled "Veduta dello scavo del Foro Trajano" was created by Luigi Rossini and included in his publication "Le Antichita Romane" (The Rome of Antiquity), published in Rome in 1823. It depicts the historical victory column of Trajan standing amidst the rubble of broken columns that remain around it. The etching is presented in a black wood frame with a light brown outer mat and a dark brown inner mat. There are several frame abrasions. The print and mats are in very good condition. The print is framed and matted in the identical style as the another etching of an ancient Roman landmark, the Piazza Navona, which is also listed on 1stdibs, see item # LU117326144172. The pair would make an attractive display grouping of Roman architecture. A discount is available for purchase of the pair of prints. Luigi Rossini (1790-1857) like his predecessors, Giovanni Piranesi (1720–1778) and Giuseppi Vasi (1710-1782), was an architect and artist. Like Piranesi and Vasi, he wanted to glorify the architecture of ancient Rome, which he felt was deteriorating and needed to be documented. Several of the ruins he illustrated have, in fact, since disappeared leaving only his images as a record of their appearance. His images of the grand edifices of the city dramatically depict the power and glory...Category
