Oil on canvas. French school of the second half of the 18th century. Probably the work of a follower of Claude Joseph Vernet (1714 -1789), a French painter specialized in marine scenes and who painted several times glimpses of storms and shipwrecks. The scene is set on a rocky coast, near a village built on the cliff above; a strong storm is underway, which unleashes a lightning bolt, shooting from the top right, above some frightened figures of wayfarers, and directed towards the sailing ship that is sailing at the mercy of the strong waves. The sky is full of black clouds, even if in the distance a patch of blue seems to be already beginning to open up. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in a period frame.

Italy, Early XX Century

Art Deco display cabinet from the early 1900s. Made with a central open door with glass sides. Two turned and carved feet on the back and two curly and carved feet on the front support the piece of furniture, which is curved on both the sides and the front with two large spaces in the uprights in which two turned and carved motifs with leaf and fruit motifs are placed, with final quivers ending in ears of wheat. Carved lambrequin cymatium, on the door a geometric motif with opposing strips with carved cones and ebonized spheres. The entire surface is veneered in walnut root and alternates walnut carvings with some ebonized ones. Small missing parts.

Armchairs, teak wood frame, foam padding, fabric covering.

Oil on canvas. Inside an inn, which almost seems to be made in a cave, opening onto a rather barren countryside, some men eat, drink and relax at the table next to the fire, while a woman sitting on the floor watches them amused while eating. The figures are grotesque, almost caricatural, the colors earthy, to underline the peasant extraction of the scene. Restored and relined, the painting is presented in an ancient frame.

2-seater sofa, teak wood frame, foam padding, fabric covering.

Oil on canvas. Inside an inn, some customers are playing cards: the man sitting on the left is cheating, hiding a card in the collar of his shabby jacket, under the amused gaze of the innkeeper who arrives. The figures are grotesque, almost caricatural; the colors are predominantly earthy, to emphasize the popular setting. Restored and relined (on the back is a restorer's label dated 1952), the painting is presented in an antique frame.

Cupboard, Early 1900s

Art Deco cupboard from the early 1900s. Made with two doors on the front concealing two drawers and open compartments, a monumental mirror rests on the top in breccia medicea marble. Two turned and carved feet on the back and two curly and carved feet on the front support the piece of furniture, which is curved on both the sides and the front with two large spaces in the uprights in which two turned and carved motifs with leaf and fruit motifs are placed. Mirror with semicircular cymatium carved in lambrecchino, on the side two vase holder elements with two candelabras in the center carved like those on the piece of furniture; the mirror rests on the marble thanks to six ebonized spheres. The entire surface is veneered in walnut root and alternates walnut carvings with some ebonized ones. Small missing parts.

Trecentocinquanta pagine per una storia della Chiesa? Poche. Sufficienti però per tracciare una sintesi articolata delle caratteristiche della Chiesa attraverso i secoli. Questo libro parla di fatti, documenti, storie, profezie, peccati e santità, che permettono di distinguere il vero dal falso, la propaganda anticattolica dall'effettiva realtà ecclesiale. Che raccontano la gloria della vita dei martiri e dei santi accanto alle concrete difficoltà, ambiguità e compromessi dei rapporti dei pontefici col potere temporale. L'autrice sceglie, fra i tantissimi, quegli avvenimenti che possono aiutare a comprendere i principali nodi, sfide e difficoltà che la Chiesa si è trovata ad affrontare nel corso del tempo.
