    Description: After a long process, the reopening of Milanese canals has become one of the fundamental actions of the Town Plan approved in 2019. A strategic project that plans to reactivate the covered section of the Naviglio Martesana and the Cerchia Interna, reuniting Adda and Ticino rivers, and give new life to the great Renaissance project that Leonardo himself had worked on. In its methodological approach and in the specific outcome achieved, we can recognize elements of continuity with Leonardo’s thinking and contribute to a territorialist reflection on its current relevance.

    Description: This essay considers a number of travellers’ writings about Africa which are reread to construct and deconstruct Italian colonial identity. It focuses on Cesare Cesari’s Viaggi africani di Pellegrino Matteucci (1932), which deems Matteucci a precursor of Fascist colonialism and contributor to Fascist “colonial science”. The essay then moves on to explore the more recent rereading by Angelo Del Boca and Igiaba Scego of respectively Indro Montanelli’s XX Battaglione Eritreo (1936) and Errico Emanuelli’s Settimana nera (1961). By bringing together and rereading these texts, the essay maps the transformations of Italianness from colonial to postcolonial times and reveals how colonial identity relied on a series of gender, racial and sexual tropes of exploration and conquest.

    Description: The article analyses the morphological means used by the Slovenian dialects of Friuli in adapting loan verbs to their aspectual system in comparison to the traditional means of expressing verbal aspect in the indigenous Slavic lexicon. In relation to verbs of Slavic origin, the formation of aspectual pairs was mainly realised by means of prefixation to the base verb (thereby perfectivising it), whereas with loans from the adjacent Romance varieties (Friulian, Italian, Venetian) suffixation proves more productive (yielding imperfectivisation). The analysis is carried out on the dialect of Resia as well as those from the Torre and Natisone Valleys. Despite some differences, in all three dialects there is generally a strong tendency to integrate loan verbs into the aspectual systems of these varieties. Biaspectual verbs, on the other hand, are relatively rare except for the particular case of the verbs in -inat in Resian.

    Description: The PN Kammalia-Tarawa in an Old Assyrian tablet seems to be the earliest reference of the deity Darawa. The Luwian background this deity is also apparent, e.g., from the plural form DDa-ra-ú-wa-an-zi or from those texts mentioned in CTH 457 and the etymological interpretation of the divine name to the Luwian verb tarāwi(ya)-. Since the early Middle Hittite period Darawa also found her way into the Hattian milieu and as a goddess connected with the family life, she is mentioned several times in festivals for a queen (CTH 646), but also in the Hittite Prayer to the Sun-goddess of the Netherworld (CTH 371) which is – in my opinion – the only Hittite texts mentioning Darawa within the “pantheon of the state”. Texts from the Hurrian and Kizzuwatnaean milieu (e.g., CTH 351) also refer several times to Darawa, but this is clearly the result of a secondary and marginal dissemination of the goddess. In conclusion one might say that Darawa from her Luwian background also came into contact with various milieus of the “Hittite pantheon”, functioning as a goddess providing good (and evil) to humans in everyday life.

    Description: Among his hydraulic designs, Leonardo planned the construction of an artificial lake in an area east of the castle of Vinci, his native village. The project, a surprising demonstration of his perfect knowledge of places where he lived, is illustrated in three drawings found and studied by Renzo Cianchi. Today, it is particularly interesting to analyze the feasibility of Leonardo’s project, by chronologically translating it to the 21st century, namely in 2020. Based on an accurate hydrologic analysis, this paper aims at providing further insights on Leonardo’s study, focusing on the feasibility of the dam.

    Description: This is the first monograph about the Austro-American Composer Max Steiner (1888-1971), one of the great pioneers of film music in the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood. In the early 1930ies with his visionary energy he helped to establish symphonic film music as an integrated part in the film production process. In contrary to many of his colleagues, Mr. Steiner had devoted himself completely to film music. Therefore the preoccupation with Max Steiner's music gives a very valuable insight into the craft of film composing. Supported by many quotes and music examples, the first part of this monograph shows how Mr. Steiner wrote his film music. From the first viewing and the spotting session to the final exact timing of the cues, the whole creative and technical process of his film composing is demonstrated. The music of Max Steiner has a couple of quasi formulaic elements: the regular use of leitmotifs, quotations from his own music and the accurate synchronisation of screen action and music cues (with its extreme form, the so-called mickey mousing). The principles of the subjective use of harmonies as well as the technique of instrumentation are shown. The reader will also learn about the special relationship between composer and orchestrator. This distinctive form of collaboration was typical for the Hollywood cinema of the 30ies and 40ies of the 20th century, the so called Golden Age and still is today. Because the studios wanted to save the precious time of their employed composers, they wanted them to write their music on sketch paper with two to four staves, with the themes, voice leadings, harmonies and basic requirements of instrumentation. Then the orchestrator had to transform this into a complete score. Throughout his whole career, Mr. Steiner had been working with three orchestrators. This collaboration reached such an intuitive level, that is was sufficient that Max Steiner wrote only rudimentary musical information. When these sketches had been transformed into scores, Steiner conducted the studio orchestra, where he normally used the click. The second part of the book is based to a big extent on Steiner's yet unpublished autobiography. Born at the end of the 19th century in Vienna, Max Steiner was considered a musical wunderkind. His father as well as his grandfather before him was a famous theatre impresario. One of his teachers was Gustav Mahler. Steiner's first career as composer, arranger and conductor of operettas and musicals led him from Vienna to London and New York and lasted about 30 years. Then, in 1929, he got a call from Hollywood where he fulfilled his determination as dean of film music (Bette Davis). In the 50ies, when the symphonic film music lost its acceptance also Max Steiner's amount of work decreased. In 1965 he wrote his last of more than 300 scores. With the help of original documents from the archive of Warner Bros., such as memos, letters or billings the reader will get a three dimensional insight not only about how the movie Casablanca was made but on the mechanisms of the movie industry as a whole. Parts of the original sketches and the score of the music for Casablanca have been carefully transformed into a piano reduction to demonstrate even more clearly the efficient use of his skills and the yet highly artistic approach of Mr. Steiner Furthermore an example of this film music is compared to an excerpt of Richard Wagner's Ring des Nibelungen. There the reader will see how film music was not only inspired by but precisely obtained musical tools from the late romantic music theatre. Or, in Max Steiner's own words: "If Wagner would have lived in this century, he would be the number one film composer". Max Steiner is an outstanding protagonist of a generation of European immigrants who formed the cultural life in the USA. He is an important link between his native city Vienna and his new homeland America and through composers such as Steiner the tradition of the late European romantic m
    Description: Dies ist die erste Monographie über den austro-amerikanischen Komponisten Max Steiner (1888-1971), einen der großen Pioniere der Filmmusik des so genannten Goldenen Zeitalters Hollywoods. Es ist Max Steiners Verdienst, in den frühen 1930ern die sinfonische Filmmusik als gleichberechtigten und dramaturgisch unerlässlichen Bestandteil im Produktionsprozess der Filmindustrie Hollywoods durchgesetzt und etabliert zu haben. Steiner hat sich, im Gegensatz zu vielen seiner Kollegen, gänzlich der Filmmusik verschrieben. Daher verschafft einem die Beschäftigung mit Max Steiner einen guten Einblick, wie Filmmusik wirklich funktioniert. Unterstützt von vielen Zitaten und Notenbeispielen wird im ersten Teil der Monographie gezeigt, wie Max Steiner seine Filmmusik geschrieben hat. Dies beginnt bei der ersten Annäherung an den fertig geschnittenen Film, der schrittweisen Einteilung des Filmes und dem Festsetzen der cues. Max Steiners Musik beinhaltet verschiedene gleichsam formulaische Gestaltungsmerkmale: umfassender Gebrauch von Leitmotiven, häufiges Zitieren eigener Musik, punktgenaues Synchronisieren von Leinwandaktion und Musik, bis hin zum so genannten Mickey Mousing. Der subjektive Gebrauch der Harmonien und die Grundprinzipien der Instrumentierung werden erläutert, sowie die für die Filmmusik auch heute noch typische Kooperation zwischen Komponist und Orchestrator, bei welcher die Komponisten nur die wichtigsten musikalischen Informationen in zwei- bis vierzeilige Notensysteme schreiben, und die Orchestrator dies dann in fertige Partituren ausarbeiten. Während seiner gesamten Karriere arbeitete Steiner lediglich mit drei Orchestrierern. Diese Zusammenarbeit erreichte ein sehr hohes intuitives Niveau, so dass Steiner oftmals nur noch rudimentäre Angaben in seinen Skizzen gemacht hat. Seine Filmmusiken dirigierte er stets selbst, wobei er nach eigenen Angaben fast immer mit Klick arbeitete. Der biographische Teil stützt sich im Wesentlichen auf die bisher unveröffentlichte Autobiographie Max Steiners. Steiner, geboren im Wien des ausgehenden 19. Jahrhunderts, war nach heutigen Vorstellungen ein musikalisches Wunderkind. Sein Vater war, ebenso wie bereits sein Großvater, ein wichtiger Theaterimpresario. Einer seiner Lehrer war Gustav Mahler. Steiners erste Karriere als Komponist, Arrangeur und Dirigent von Operetten und Musicals dauerte an die dreißig Jahre und umfasste die Stationen Wien, London und New York, bevor ihn 1929 der Ruf nach Hollywood ereilte, wo sich seine Bestimmung als Dean of Film Music (Bette Davis) erfüllen sollte. In den fünfziger Jahren, als die Bedeutung der sinfonischen Filmmusik im Allgemeinen abzunehmen begann, verblasste auch langsam Steiners Stern. 1965 schrieb er die letzte von über 300 Filmmusiken. Im dritten Teil wird zum einen mit Hilfe von Originaldokumenten wie Memos oder Briefen und Abrechnungen die genaue Entstehungsgeschichte des Filmes Casablanca nachgezeichnet. Der Leser bekommt zudem aus erster Hand einen Einblick in die Mechanismen der Filmindustrie. Zum anderen wurden Teile der Originalskizzen Steiners sowie der fertigen Partitur zu dieser Filmmusik vom Autor dieses Buches in Klavierauszüge umgewandelt, um so anschaulich zu dokumentieren, wie ökonomisch und dennoch musikalisch stimmig und kunstvoll Max Steiner gearbeitet hat. Darüber hinaus wird durch einen Vergleich einer Passage dieser Filmmusik mit Auszügen aus Wagners Ring des Nibelungen dem Leser veranschaulicht, wie sehr die Filmmusik nicht nur ihre Inspiration, sondern ganz konkrete kompositorische Prinzipien vom spätromantischen Musiktheater übernommen hat. Oder, wie Steiner es einmal ausdrückte: "If Wagner would have lived in this century, he would be the number one film composer". Max Steiner ist einer der herausragenden Protagonisten einer Generation von europäischen Einwanderern, die das kulturelle Leben der USA nachhaltig geprägt haben. Er ist ein wichtiges Bindeglied zwischen seiner Geburtsstadt Wien und seiner neuen Heimat Amerika
