Lombardy, Mid XVIII Century

Baroque bedside table in walnut and poplar, maple fillets and inlays, 2 front drawers, ebonized moldings. Knobs replaced and restorations. Lombardy, mid-18th century.

Copper panels decorated with enamels. This is a 19th-century reproduction of the enamelled Cross of Paschal I (817-824), an important staurotheca in embossed and gilded copper, which contained within it minute fragments of the Cross of Christ, and which became part of the Treasure placed by Leo III (795-816) in the oratory called Sancta Sanctorum in the Lateran. The Cross is made up of five panels, arranged in the shape of a Latin cross, on which seven episodes from the life of Jesus are depicted with lively enamel figures. In the upper panel are the Annunciation and the Visitation of Mary; in the centre panel is the Birth of Jesus; on the left is the Flight into Egypt and on the right is the Adoration of the Magi; and finally in the lower arm is the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple and the Baptism of Jesus. The panels are composed on a wooden base and presented in a glass case frame.

Il volume raccoglie tredici saggi, distribuiti in due parti: la prima dedicata a ricerche su aspetti fondamentali della propria cultura e della propria sensibilità di lettore che Dante mette in gioco e lascia percepire in ogni parte della sua opera complessa e bilingue; la seconda con proposte di letture di otto canti della "Divina Commedia", ognuno interpretato in costante riferimento ai suoi presupposti culturali e dottrinali, ma assumendo quale obiettivo primario l'individuazione e la definizione dei valori propriamente poetici. Queste pagine - nelle quali l'impostazione piana e didascalica dei discorso armoniosamente si unisce al rigore storiografico e critico intendono rivolgersi con eguale efficacia tanto agli specialisti quanto a ogni amatore della poesia dantesca.
