Cafagna Luciano
Cavour
br. Un eroe machiavelliano capace di combinare accortezza, competenza e audacia con la fortuna. Un nuovo tassello nella rilettura dell'identità italiana. Simbolo del primo miracolo italiano che è l'Italia stessa per il modo stesso in cui è nata. La sua formazione, la sua sopravvivenza, i suoi successi hanno sempre avuto qualcosa di miracoloso. Cavour è forse l'espressione maggiore della nostra storia, vero artista della politica, che ha lasciato in eredità la sua "arte della politica".

Caferro William; Mascanzoni L. (cur.)
Giovanni Acuto. Un mercenario inglese nell'Italia del Trecento
br. Nato in Inghilterra verso il 1320, John Hawkwood - noto in Italia come Giovanni Acuto - combatté per Pisa, Milano, il papa, Padova e infine Firenze, che gli tributò quella venerazione e quegli onori poi trasformatisi in mito nei secoli successivi. Ma come dimostra il volume, tale fama non fu che un'amplificazione propagandistica concepita in chiave patriottica dalla storiografia umanistica fiorentina e mai più rimessa in discussione nel corso dei secoli. Fu capace, invece, di particolari cinismo e ferocia. E superò tutti i suoi colleghi nell'abilità a procurarsi denaro e ricchezze con ogni mezzo. La sua astuzia lo rese uno degli uomini più ricchi del tempo. La dimensione economica ebbe un ruolo di primissimo piano nella storia del mercenariato trecentesco e nel rapporto che esso intrattenne con le città-stato italiane, le cui risorse vennero progressivamente impoverite dalle guerre molto più di quanto non si sia percepito fino ad oggi.
