2020La vicenda di Marco Antonio appartiene alla storia dei vinti. La sua condotta fu diffamata con accanimento dagli antagonisti politici, Cicerone prima e Ottaviano poi; la sua memoria, dopo la morte, fu oggetto di sistematica rimozione in attuazione di un provvedimento del senato; la sua figura fu consegnata ai posteri inquinata dalla manipolazione del vincitore, il futuro Augusto: ne emerse l’immagine di un abile generale romano, soggiogato però dall’amore per la regina d’Egitto Cleopatra, corrotto dalla depravazione dell’Oriente, caduto preda degli eccessi di vino, cibo, lusso, sesso. A dispetto di tale deformazione, la documentazione superstite ci restituisce il profilo di una personalità politica animata da una progettualità innovativa. Nel contesto pubblico l’adesione al progetto cesariano e l’empatia nei confronti dei ceti popolari maturarono in una visione politica che intendeva conciliare le istituzioni della repubblica romana praticabili in Occidente con gli assetti delle monarchie ellenistiche a conduzione dinastica, proprie delle province orientali; a tale impostazione, ispirata a flessibilità e diversificazione, si coniugarono il rispetto, la valorizzazione e l’accoglienza degli usi e costumi del mosaico di popoli che componevano l’impero. Nell’ambito privato egli oppose un consapevole rifiuto delle convenzioni. Ad una esistenza consacrata, secondo le tradizioni, alla morigeratezza, alla sobrietà, allo spirito di sacrificio, all’impegno per l’interesse collettivo, egli contrappose un modello di vita che riservasse spazio ai piaceri individuali: le gioie dell’amore, l’ebrezza del vino, le raffinate prelibatezze della tavola, l’apprezzamento per ogni forma d’arte, la propensione per il lusso, la complicità cameratesca, la solidarietà con l’elemento femminile. Autori: Giovannella Cresci Marrone.

1786ref. 378066France 1786. 6pp plus integral blank. Folio. Modern boards. Provenance: Jay Snider booklabel. 6pp plus integral blank. Folio. An unpublished manuscript ode on the wonders of electricity written in 20 stanzas of decasyllabic 10-line units dizains. The author Marc-Antoine Lazare Malot was a lawyer and the King's prosecutor at Avallon in Burgundy and submitted this poem to l'Académie de Marseille on August 25 1786 for which he received a prize. The thirteenth stanza contains lines on Benjamin Franklin: Le Modeste Franklin s'arme contre l'orage Et va chercher la foudre en ses plus noirs foyers ; Il lui prescrit sa route ; et du sein du nuage Sans bruit la fait descendre et mourir à ses pieds. De cette même main qui termina la guerre Qui de la liberté dans un autre hémisphère Sur rappeller défendre et raffermir les droits Il impose silence au maître du tonnerre Il désarme les dieux du ciel et de la terre L'inclémence des airs la vengeance des rois. Roughly translated: The modest Franklin arms himself against the storm And goes to seek the lightning in its darkest lairs; He prescribes its path; and from the heart of the cloud Silently makes it descend and die at his feet. With that same hand that ended the war That in another hemisphere recalled defended And reasserted the rights of liberty He silences the master of the thunder He disarms the gods of sky and earth The inclemency of the skies the vengeance of kings. unknown books
