An Italian source of American revolution: Carlo Botta
Contemporary Italian historical men of American revolution, this is the
formal act of independence, because the colonies were already independent,
because to England were necessary alone the harbors of new word, and no
certainly other, the imperator Vespasiano (9b.Ch.-79)took a fistful of money
and he set under the nose of his son and asked: “Puteant?”, that translated if
:”It stink?”, because Vespasiano was taxed the bathroom in ancient Rome; this
example is necessary to explain that a nation, every nation, today as ancient
and for future, is interested alone to merchant because its people want alone
the money and wealth, hence the British wanted alone the merchant and stop;
anyway Carlo Botta(1766-1837), was a historical man that has described the
American revolution but alone from documents and other historical scripts,
naturally he begun from emigration toward of new word of bannered, and he said:
“This crowd of exiled, from England above all, come to north American when the
reign was owner of Stuart family…and were founders of colonies of New Hampshire, di Massachusetts, di
Connecticut and Rhode Island, that
Botta called Rodi island, and these colonies called themselves New
England, and after the Virginia and New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and county
of Maryland and Carolinas”, this the North Carolina and South Carolina, and
after he mentioned also Georgia; some
personal think that neither we neither Botta can proof, when he said: “We don’t
believe that because they came in other place, where they were born for odd
towns and searching better condition of life, they quit their country as
enemies…”; we can comment or asked to Botta: “Why they came to new word?
Because the wealth was better? No certainly, may because they were free? May,
or they came as seamen and after the landed they decided that the transfer
wasn’t so bad?”. A man, that is equal always in every period of history, can
choose something for very much motives; and the persecutions toward religious
minority is a cuck up, because the England was a country that in north, this is
the Scotland were Catholic, and Elisabeth, queen of England, begun not a war
for religion of Scotland, because she would have determine a civil war, and in
Rome, Italy and the Spain wanted alone it, so that through motive of religion
they would have attacked, and the England would has become a Spain colon;
Elisabeth 1th(1533-1603) as Philip 2th(1527-1598) and pope Saint Pio 5th(1566-1572),
thought politically After these words Botta in fact said: “Beyond the customs
and the manners of common country, they brought also the privileges of real
authority all conferred…”; but we can doubt also of this affirmation because if
the royal power had given so much privileges, why they gone away? May my
opinion that they were sailormen is more right. A contradiction is evident the
step of Botta said: “But for the religion they enjoyed of major freedom in
confront to the first country…and being this motive the principal cause to
their departure…”, but we can stress to Botta that he has written: “…they
brought also the privileges…”; the major freedom is contrary to privileges that
they has had in their country. The revolutionary faith of Botta emerges, although
hide in following words: “…since nothing province or colony has had an assembly
of represent elected from the people…”, the revolutionary faith I want refer to
the French revolution, that Botta held convince; furthermore: “Hence it doesn’t
amaze us because this generation of men have had their brain toward those
credence that are the ground and principles of England govern, but they wanted
a manner of govern more free…”, but if they refused the oppressive British
govern, they would have refused everything that the England govern has had. The
following step has also a psychological note: “…from that fervor that be born
naturally in hearth of men, and from the obstacles that are contrary to their
opinions both politic and religious…”, it is the hide note of psychology,
because in front of the contrary the wit of man becomes fanatic of his opinion,
in fact Thomas Mann(1875-1955), has said that the major difficulty for the
political propagandist is convince himself rather other; and this think is
historical represented from the colons from England, because they used the same
model of original country; we must add also that this model was the unique that
the colon known; but the participation of people to election of assemblies was
very limited, because the vote was destined alone the landowners, therefore the
free was very limited; but Botta has took the French revolution, when the
elections were frequent, and the people was called to vote. Regard to give the
tax from owner will Botta describes the birth of the assemblies, he says: “…of
give their money alone from their will…for this are born the assemblies in
every colonies…”. The oppression that Botta suggested is in fact a moral
custom, as we can infer: “…Everything on the contrary in England America regarded
a largest unusual of social life; everything appeared near to favor to freedom
civil…”, it is could seem a simple note, that has a difference from English
life, and it is the motive of oppression that Botta involuntary confesses
through the following words: “…regarded a largest unusual of social life…”; the
feral laws of England were alone the moral life, hence the oppression was alone
from these moral custom, it is normal that in young colonies of USA, this moral
life wasn’t, because it was a youngest nation, actually it wasn’t neither a
nation. Regard the religion Botta has forgotten a particular, in the step
around the religion of American he said: “The American were the majority
protestant, but protestant also against the reliable of Protestant authorities
and part of their that in England are called dissident; hence beyond don’t
recognize, as Protestant nothing the authority for religion whose decisions are
unquestionable…”, it is certainly true, but the particular that Botta has avoid
to remember is that already Luther has made it, he didn’t recognized nothing
authority. Other particular that Botta or will ignore or will avoid is the
following step: “Since the brain of Americans whole free for religion, they
used this liberty also for other things, specially in govern matters…In the
colonies were abundant the legists, that know take the tiny from the tiny, they
are, in a country governed from an absolute prince, the lawyers of his power,
and in a free country the useful defender of freedom”, certainly true, but
Botta has forgotten that the method is same, the lawyers are same, and other
particular that Botta avoided of think, what? The colonies were again too much
young to have an owner moral custom and an institution legislative; hence the
lawyers that Botta mentions where were is a mystery because may the lawyers
could be in the colonies but aren’t the tribunal, and the laws were different
form a colonies from other. The inability of Botta after emerges again for
other affirmation that is laughable: “…since the study of beauty letters and
the noble disciplines has already made the notable progresses in American
colonies…”; if I was a fanatic nationalist would stress this affirmation; but
the authors of these letters who are? What books they have scripted? Nothing is
possible to know! Regard this step other affirmation that is very ridiculous,
and that proofs the inability of Botta: “Scant books have the colons, but these
between the hands of everybody, treat around the matters of govern or history,
and it told also the persecution of Puritan bore. “, the persecution toward the
Puritans were, and it implied the emigration to colonies in USA, but the ridiculous
affirmation is the. “Scant books have the colons…”, we can remember to Botta
that he some lines after has said that in colonies the books were very much.
The reflex of the revolutionary wit of Botta, is in the following words:
“Those(the Puritans) persecuted in ancient country for their believe for the
think around the Church or State and they have decided through a decided
deliberation wanted quit it, beyond the immense sea and escaping to more remote
and savage regions, so that they could freely show it.”, it is the reflex of
French revolution, that in idea was a laic, as in fact was, and where the
liberty was very odd in confront to monarchies country; it is hence alone an
enthusiastic transfer from the French revolution to colonies.

Prompter
Richard was a writer with usual crisis, and he worked
in a magazine very popular and without pride and nobility, a magazine for
housewife that pass the day to read cuck up and after they told it to friends;
he was very bored and disgusted from this life, and the moment better of day
was when he ended his job and he could writer his history, very short tales,
with different genres, adventure, love, philosophy, cultural, humanistic and
other. From time he has usual crisis of creativity; he didn’t wrote something
and was very boring; a Saturday, he was always earl raising, in front of his
computer he decided to write, and he concentrated on the white sheet, he
thought a tale, and begun to write, but after some line he deleted all and
begun again; after some tentative an idea, a history of a teen, Alice, and he thought
what tale he could tell; he seen the sheet that alone composed of lines, and he
read these lines, that said: “Alice was a teen that attended an private
exclusive school, and she dreamed to make the writer; she loved the past
writers from ancient Greek to contemporary, she loved read and in hers school
she was considered very intellectual, she has written from young age of 10
years old, and now she was 18 years old; some time she read again the first
tale and she laughed about the poor histories that she has written, very dingy,
but she has, then, alone 10 years old, hence it was justifiable. This history
Richard read and read again, and after: “I am Alice, and I am suggest to you a
tale, now you must follow”. Richard tried to write something but he was blocked
and felt an absence of logic and of a history; suddenly the phone sounded and
Richard took the receiver, was the editor that wanted know the level of the
next tale because he has wanted publish his tales, Richard told to editor,
George, that he was working very well and very much; while he spoke to editor
on sheet continued the tale, and same Richard read what that Alice was writing,
and in fact the editor asked: “What do you are writing now?”, and Richard: “I
am writing the history of Alice”, and George: “Very good, who is Alice?”, and
Richard seen that on the sheet shown a face of a teen, and she said to Richard:
“Alice is a teen, as I have said to you, above told it, and he wanted become a
writer…”, and Richard: “Yes, now I remember…”, and George: “What do you are
remembering?”, and Richard: “I remember what Alice is saying to me”, and
George: “Are you sound?”, and Richard: “Yes, perfectly, because Alice is saying
me the idea”, and George: “Who is Alice?”, and Richard: “The teen of tale, she
is writing the tale”, and George: “Where is Alice now?”, and Richard: “In
computer”, and Richard: “Just moment I will call the police, don’t worry in
jail you con write, just a moment”; and George broken the call phone; while
Alice continued to write, and Richard read it. Then minutes after and the
doorbell sounded and two policemen gone in apartment of Richard they arrested
him and Bernard one of police men begun read the tale, he seated and Lionel
other policeman called him, but Bernard was seated and continued the read,
hence Lionel approached to him and he also begun the read, while Richard was
waiting; other policemen gone in apartment and everybody read the tale of
Alice, and to the morning, in 2 a.m., a district of police arrived to apartment
of Richard, and also they read; finally beyond 150 policemen were guest of
jail, and George, the editor, published these tales with name of author, this
is Alice.

Portrait of a city: moral relativism
Jay McInerney(1955) in the
Bright lights, big city is a portrait of a city, in this case New York, but the
author a particular attention to daily behavior; after a night in a night club
the protagonist, involuntary met a woman with curlers and a dog, that when sees
the protagonist he become vigilant; the comment is: “It is normal for a dog!”
and answer: “Certainly, but the description so accurate, and punctual that
hasn’t importance in history, is a moment of mere realism”, as the scent from a
bakery; as the description of emotion that every couple has felt during the
first rapport, alone and already married; it is alone the prime experience that
every couple makes, this is living together almost an experiment to tried new
experiences and above all, consider if the matrimonial life is going to be nice,
and the protagonist looked the windows of fourth floor, and the description
translates what we can feel in similar episode: “Behind those windows is the
apartment that you have shared with Amanda, when you was arrived in New York.
It was small and dark but to you liked the ceiling…”, voluntary or no the
author describes the emotions that in conformity Marcel Proust’s(1871-1922)
code, that in his romances, La recherché, he described the emotions and images
that are tied to some moment, and that we keep in our memory, and that reemerge
when we have a experience as a scent, an image, a scene, a taste; it is the
realism, mere realism, and other images: “You have had money to rent, your
preferred restaurant…every morning you have waked with the scent of bakery. You
gone out to buy the journal…it is occurred two years ago before that you have
married”; I think that the author has took personal memories, that confirms
what I have said, because the life that, after years, become mechanical, is so,
the behavior of protagonist is portrait every man in the word, hence more than
a portrait of a city it is the portrait of word. Other characteristic that if
think, I have very much despise, is the use of sniff that the author describes
and with very much particulars; it is the moral relativism of title; because
the use or dependence of drug is mean of weakness, that during this romance is
evident above all in meeting in night club or other places; but also it is life
of a city. As is a involuntary meeting or overbearing manner of a crazy that
has seat on knee of a lady, and around is indifference, the author describes
the reaction: “Almost every passengers are looking the scene but they feign of
don’t see”, it is behavior of whom will not problems. The attention of
protagonist is took from a announce of a disappeared with description and painting,
while the green of traffic light appears. It is more than a romance is a size
of labor day. The following tale is a experimented realism but in job, and the
author concentrated the attention of emotive dynamic, hence from external
realism he took the internal truth; but it is always realism.
Medieval lesson
Michael awaked a Sunday and he was early raising, he
opened the door and he was in a city that he didn’t know, where the people was
very strange because they spoke a strange language and somebody indicated to
him a build and he gone to it, he gone in and seated on the chair, and he heard
the lesson, in fact the professor was in desk and he spoken about some
difficulties of medieval documents: “The documents begun always to invocation
to God, In nomine Dei(in name of God), after the date of document, this is the
year, day and indiction”, and Carl, a student: “What is the indicion?”, and the
professor: “The indiction is period of 15 years, that the notary used to date
every documents, and after 15 years it started again”, and George, other student:
“What is In presentia infrascriptuorum testium?”; and the professor: “When the
plaintiff were present in front notary, their names have to write, with name of
father”, and same George: “Why name of father, it is enough the last name”, and
the professor: “During the Middle age isn’t the last name, alone the
patronymic”, and Albert other student: “When were used the last names”, and the
professor: “When after the reform of Luther, the Church wanted the registers of
birth and death, that was called Status animarum”, and after: “The state or
number of souls”, and other student: “Why they used alone the Latin language?” and
the professor: “Because these documents were alone to notaries, as today if
somebody has a document from a tribunal, he bring it to a lawyer, because the
lawyer knows what is, and we must consider that then the illiteracy was a the
principal character”, and Gerald, a student: “They have to not gone to
school?”, and the professor: “The schools were alone to richness families, and
the monks and priest made lessons to childes so that they learned the letters,
but the poor families, have destined their sons to other jobs”, and a student
girl Germaine: “Who taught to write beyond the priests?”, and the professor:
“The convents where the childes were educated to Latin language, to theology
and philosophy”, and same Germaine: “Why they have shown the vocation?”, and
the professor: “No absolutely, the families were composed among much sons,
hence it have to send somebody in convent, also to have the protection of God”,
and Edward: “Why much sons if they were poor?”, and the professor: “because
were necessary the hands to farmer job”, suddenly the bell sounded and it is
meant the lesson was ended. The following lesson was to ancient Roman history,
and suddenly the light turn off and after some moment it turn on, and the
students were in senate of ancient Rome, in 64th years b.Ch., and
they seen a man that wore a chiton and he begun his oration through these
words: “Quo usque tandem abutere, Catlina patient nostra…”; and Laura asked to
a student near to her: “Where are we?”, and Andrew, the student, answered: “We
are in Roman senate in year 64th b. Ch., and that man is Cicero”.
Laura hence to be silent and heard.

Artist in the history: Konrad Fiedler
During the past century it was usual consider the
artist as a kind of human that lived in the his word, where he imagined and
created, independently from other causes form himself; nothing was more false
of this concept and idea, because the artist was in the history, in the town,
in the word and he was attentive to gain an job, costumers and other; hence the
artist was the human that was present in the history; its natural, following
the comments, but a historical art man as Roberto Longhi(1890-1970), at last in
Italy, was the idealist exponent, although didn’t declared, of this address,
that has took directly from Hegelian philosophy, and the in literature, was
exponent otherwise idealist Benedetto Croce(1866-1952). But we can consider
that sometime also a historical art man as Konrad Fiedler(1841-1895), that was
born and grown up in the moment influenced from Hegel(1770-1831), and his
idealism he, in the principal book Uber den ursprung
der kunstlerisschen tatigkeit, has ascertained that that the artist is in the
history, and these words are the proof: “These stressed the rapport of man to
word that surrounded. Because if every explication about the nature of creation
of art are unsatisfactory, the unique hope of find a new solution to this old
problem, it is to go back to rapport of man to the external word…”; it is
certainly isn’t a daily problem, but purely intellectual and directly
reportable to the critic of art; but who has read the art history during years
and has read sometime, no certainly always, the ideal consideration of artist,
it is an ease and surprise, because it preview usually that the idealization of
artist is usual as false consideration. This new address of interpretation of
art history, in opinion of Fiedler: “It want above all a change from origin in
the conception of man to external word…”; it is further ascertainment of the
artist is a man. I must also consider that this concept is repeated constantly
for the book, and from original it become boring, but we must also think that
the originality of this idea, then, was very important and represented a
novity, because contrasted the dominant Hegel’s Idealism; and we can also
consider that this consideration of humanity and historic nature of artist, Fiedler
has translated in more interpretation, because he took the element of feel,
this is sensation: “The human gender is able of sensations and perceptions, and
he took only effects that he transformers to goods of conscience.”, it is the
preclara indication that the humanity of artist, fortunately, is present and
the artist, as everybody, is subject to feel and emotion, that he takes also
from the society, that Fiedler not mentions but when he talks of artist in the
history, he implied the society, hence the human gender.
