Morese Francesco Maria
L'eredità degli antenati. Il lascito ancestrale di Italici, Romani e Longobardi nel folklore di Salerno tra religiosità popolare e sopravvivenze pagane
br. I nostri Antenati sono ancora tra noi. Vivono in noi. Le loro credenze, i loro riti, le loro usanze, la loro religiosità, il loro linguaggio sopravvivono ancora oggi, dopo millenni, nelle nostre tradizioni popolari. Il folklore della città di Salerno e dei suoi territori, con il suo carattere marinaresco che si fonde con quello tipicamente delle campagne e delle montagne, è un chiaro esempio di come il lascito ancestrale dei nostri predecessori sia ancora vivo e vitale in Italia ed in generale in tutta Europa. Le popolazioni italiche prima, i Romani poi e, successivamente il popolo germanico dei Longobardi, hanno plasmato il nostro modo di essere odierno: il loro tributo, sia a Salerno che in tutta la Penisola, è ancora fortemente tangibile e continua ad essere tramandato nonostante esso sia occultato da una coltre che questo libro si prefigge coraggiosamente di dipanare. Le feste dell'anno, il ciclo della vita, le superstizioni, la credenza nel malocchio, nelle fatture, negli amuleti, in esseri soprannaturali come janare (streghe), diavoli, spiriti, munacielli e mazzamurelli (gnomi e folletti) costituiscono quel "Mondo Magico" delle tradizioni popolari nel quale confluiscono e si confondono elementi precristiani e religiosità popolare. L'eredità dei nostri Antenati è ancora viva in noi: scorre nelle nostre vene. L'augurio è che questo testo possa ridestare nel lettore il nobile spirito degli antichi ltalici, dei Romani e dei Longobardi che in lui ancora alberga. Prefazione di Luigi Maria Lombardi Satriani.

Mori G. (cur.)
Filastrocche, ninne nanne, stornelli, rispetti e canzoni di Toscana. Per il gioco dei bambini, per addormentare i pargoli, per le disturne amorose
brossura In Toscana, e specialmente nelle campagne, si cantava: sulle aie, nei campi, nelle fiere di paese, all'osteria, a 'veglia'. Si cantava per passatempo, per attenuare la fatica, per comunicare fra innamorati, per corteggiare la 'bella' o il 'bello', la 'dama' o il 'damo'. Si cantava, sotto forma di stornelli, di rispetti in ottava rima, per far dispetto a qualcuna o qualcuno, per 'prendere in giro' il tonto o il furbo, il giovane o il vecchio, la suocera o la nuora, il contadino o il cittadino, lo stanziale o il forestiero. Si cantava perché la vita sembrasse più gradevole, più sopportabili la miseria e le pene d'amore, più ridenti le gioie dell'amore.

C'era una volta. Riti, miti e vicende storiche che hanno ispirato le fiabe e le favole di tutto il mondo
br. "C'era una volta" recitano molte fiabe e favole da millenni, e questa antica espressione ha l'incredibile potere di catapultare l'ascoltatore in regni fantastici, popolati da orchi, maghi, streghe e folletti. Ma in realtà in ogni storia sopravvivono temi e tradizioni provenienti dal remoto passato. Un passato che accomuna tutti gli esseri umani. Come un messaggio in bottiglia affidato alle onde del mare, le antiche memorie dell'umanità sono giunte sino ai nostri giorni cristallizzate in quelle storie fantastiche. Per questo motivo, soprattutto in epoca moderna, diversi ricercatori hanno tentato di studiarne il significato profondo, scoprendo ciò che mai avremmo immaginato. Tutte le civiltà, più o meno progredite, hanno inventato fiabe e favole veicolando contenuti simili nel corso dei secoli, senza soluzione di continuità, dall'antico Egitto ai romani, dal Medioevo all'epoca moderna del cinema disneyano. In questo libro molte vicende fantastiche prenderanno vita e in alcuni casi, personaggi come Biancaneve, Cenerentola o Hansel e Gretel ritroveranno la loro controparte storica. Gli autori del testo: Alessandro Moriccioni, Andrea Musio, Michele Rossi e Andrea Somma.

C'era una volta. Riti, miti e vicende storiche che hanno ispirato le fiabe e le favole di tutto il mondo
br. C'era una volta... molte fiabe iniziano proprio con queste parole. Ma ci siamo mai chiesti davvero cosa "c'era una volta" e se davvero c'è stato qualcosa? Cosa ha ispirato le più famose fiabe di sempre e quali sono le loro origini? In questo libro gli autori attraversano millenni di storia per decifrare le fiabe e i loro personaggi. Un cammino dall'antico Egitto fino alla nuova "poetica" disneyana per trovare le radici della fiaba moderna: quali sono le fiabe più antiche? Come si interseca la religione con esse? Nel testo, dalla narrazione scorrevole e ben costruita, sarà anche possibile analizzare le prove storiche dell'esistenza di figure credute di fantasia come Biancaneve, Cenerentola, Hansel e Gretel fino a ricostruire le evoluzione dei personaggi e delle loro vicissitudini all'interno delle fiabe più famose.

Guida segreta di Verona. I luoghi. I personaggi. Le leggende
br. Verona, seconda capitale del Veneto, città antichissima e allo stesso tempo proiettata nel futuro, avvinghiata all'Adige e alla Storia, dislocata in un punto strategico della pianura e per questo crocevia inevitabile di vicende e persone: da questo prende le mosse il libro. Un viaggio attraverso la città e il suo territorio in cui realtà, arte, cronaca, mito e leggenda si mescolano nel provare a costruire un'idea di Verona elaborata da chi ha imparato ad amare le sue prospettive. Spesso impreviste e sorprendenti, sempre ricche di suggestioni per chi voglia e sappia guardarle con lo sguardo dell'anima.

Moro Guido
Presepe piemontese. I personaggi della tradizione. Storia curiosità costumi fede attività usanze leggende e superstizioni delle genti del Piemonte
ill., ril. In Piemonte il presepe è presente in molte case, però per il suo allestimento si fa soprattutto uso di statuine classiche, poco adatte a riprodurre la varietà dei costumi e della società subalpina, come richiede un vero presepe popolare. Partendo da questa considerazione, l'autore ha condotto per diversi anni studi approfonditi sia sui presepi più originali e significativi individuati in varie parti della regione, sia sulle tradizioni che spiegano particolari soluzioni presepistiche, sia ancora sui fenomeni etnografici e del folclore locale, in grado di suggerire il profilo dei personaggi di un Presepe Piemontese. Ne è scaturita una galleria di 240 personaggi, dettagliatamente presentati e descritti in questo libro, nel quale vengono anche ricordati avvenimenti storici e aspetti della vita quotidiana, capaci di riprodurre la tipica atmosfera che caratterizzava paesi e città piemontesi nei tempi passati.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.

Morris Desmond
Civette. Storia, mito e realtà di un mistero nato insieme all'uomo
ill. Simbolo di saggezza ma anche annunciatrici di sventura, le civette sono protagoniste di un mistero vecchio come il mondo e grande come i cinque continenti. Uccelli dalla faccia tonda e dai grandi occhi puntati verso l'ignoto, sembrano poter dominare il mistero della conoscenza meglio degli stessi uomini che, ovunque, le hanno elette a simulacro del sapere. Allo stesso tempo, però, in virtù delle abitudini furtive e crepuscolari, le civette e gli altri rapaci notturni sono trasformati spesso in icone di paura e malvagità. In questo libro Desmond Morris affronta il mito della civetta nella cultura umana - dall'antica Babilonia fino a Harry Potter - confrontando i risultati dell'osservazione scientifica con le leggende e i racconti custoditi dalle tradizioni popolari.

Morrocchi Roberto
Palio e memoria. Ediz. illustrata
ill., br. Un libro in cui l'autore, senese doc, ripercorre con la memoria 50 anni di palio raccontando aneddoti, personaggi, episodi che hanno fatto la storia della festa di Siena. Un ricco puzzle in cui si incastonano le tessere di un mosaico fatto di persone, cavalli, episodi a volte incredibili, leggende nate dalla passione di un popolo che da secoli nel mese di luglio e di agosto è capace di rendere la storia passata presente. Una macchina del tempo ante litteram prodigiosa e magica. Il libro è corredato da stupende fotografie di Mario Appiani e da disegni di Emilio Giannelli dei personaggi che hanno fatto la storia di Siena e del suo Palio.
