Dalla caduta degli Sforza sino alla conquista napoleonica, il libro ripercorre la storia delle istituzioni e della società dello Stato di Milano in età moderna: una panoramica aggiornata che attraversa la dominazione degli Asburgo di Spagna, la riforma borromaica della Chiesa ambrosiana e il secolo dei Lumi. Un mosaico di conflitti, di ambizioni individuali e collettive, di stili di vita e di governo, che definirono i tratti salienti, l’identità, la vitalità economica e la capacità creativa dello spazio culturale e politico milanese.
Attraverso un’argomentazione sintetica e innovativa, il volume connette e interpreta una lunga teoria di eventi e fenomeni, di temi e problemi, che misurarono la capacità degli Sforza, degli Asburgo di Spagna e degli Asburgo d’Austria di sperimentare strategie efficaci per conservare la sovranità sulla Lombardia, un territorio ricco di risorse e situato in una posizione strategica, e pertanto al centro della contesa tra potenze per l’egemonia nello spazio euro-mediterraneo lungo tutta la prima età moderna.
I saluti istituzionali di Paola Avallone, Direttrice del CNR-ISEM, apriranno i lavori. Seguiranno gli interventi di Isabella Cecchini (CNR-ISEM), Gaetano Sabatini (Università Roma Tre, Direttore Istituto Storico Italiano per l’Età Moderna e Contemporanea) e Michele Maria Rabà (CNR-ISEM), autore del volume.
L’evento si terrà in presenza – presso l’Aula Milone del Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici dell’Università di Ca’ Foscari (3° piano ala D, Palazzo Malcanton Marcorà, Dorsoduro 3246) – e da remoto, attraverso la piattaforma Microsoft Teams, al seguente URL

"La #guerra è diventata lo strumento principe per distogliere le masse da una faticosa presa di consapevolezza.
Si crea il Nemico e si lavora per compattare la società contro l’avversario esterno, invece di aiutare i ceti subalterni a riconoscere i veri responsabili dello sfacelo: finanza anglosassone, multinazionali, industrie delle armi, classi politiche ultraliberiste e atlantiste, ecc."

Not just guys. Wasn't there a lady who died in an accident involving a pully/hoist contraption and a horse? Or is that stretching the "sex robot" thing too far?
