Sergio Andreatta, before faith or before work? When


Prima la fede o prima il lavoro?
Viene prima la ricerca della fede o la ricerca di un posto di lavoro?



Una singolare e forse equivoca competizione nelle parole del Papa dei giorni scorsi. Ma oggi a Carpineto Romano, ricordando il magistero sociale di Leone XIII, con riferimenti alla storia e alla situazione attuale dice: "serve dialogo e mediazione nei conflitti sociali" (www.andreatta.it)
di Sergio Andreatta

La fede, sine qua non... cattolico, cristiano o... "Io credo" titola il libretto che mi ha donato il bassianese mio amico mons. Francesco Lambiasi, ora vescovo di Rimini. Benissimo. Ma, in una società laica, secolarizzata e in continua mutazione come è diventata quella italiana, a chi non possedesse alcuna religione e praticasse la grazia della fede non si può pensare di attribuire, neanche solo in ipotesi e a parole, una qualche dignità minore. La dignità di una persona non si fonda anche, seppure non unicamente, sulle sue autonome possibilità di sostentamento, sulle garanzie di non precarietà che quella cerca ogni giorno di assicurare all'esistenza propria e a quella della sua famiglia? La stessa Repubblica italiana e la sua democrazia non si dicono, all'art. 1 della Costituzione, fondate sul lavoro? Primum vivere, deinde philosophari: non di sola... aria vive l'uomo, pare ricordarci un famoso adagio di Hobbes il cui pensiero in origine si può be traced back to Aristotle's Politics and the gnomic tradition. The research work within a social dimension, is not and can not be in competition with each other but is "flesh and bones" JP Sartre would say, an issue alive, even before the physical metaphysical. The words of the Pope's general audience on Wednesday were, in some ways, surprising even if immediately recalibrated today in Carpineto Romano where he went this morning in celebration of the birth of bicenetenario Lepine and almost our fellow Leo XIII with his Encyclical Rerum Novarum first, May 15, 1891, was concerned by his side, the social issue and work of Christians, the rights of workers of his time. At this current Pope recognizes the foundation of the first group of the Social Doctrine of the Church. " The encyclical against capitalism lion is placed exactly halfway between the positions of the needs of employers and workers, but it can be found in a conviction in respect of trade unionism and a strong opposition against the empowerment of women because "... certain jobs do not belong to women, made by nature for domestic work, which greatly protect the integrity of the weaker sex. We must not, therefore, not forgetting to lay apostles as some socialist and some other protosindacalisti Andrea Costa. Because we usually only remember what historically'm glad because fits in with their point of view. Thus the sociologist (De Rita) has had no comment in recent days, however, the clergy (priests and bishops) is not just pour in a state of economic insecurity, but rather be maintained by the State and paid a salary with monthly regularity. There may, therefore, also the need for a question 8 / ° ° ° to be revisited and re-examine its scope and interpretation (not as originally envisaged by the legislature) to be more Christian to meet the basic needs of livelihood for many unemployed Italian some of them after losing their jobs have felt compelled to commit suicide in shame, indotti da una sorta di irrefrenabile compulsione morale, dal percepito fallimento nei confronti della propria famiglia non più mantenibile. E sarebbe, magari, grande carità cristiana cercare nei fatti di venire loro incontro... La dignità e la giustizia in ex aequo meritano, quindi, sicuramente il primo posto in assoluto in una eventuale classifica degli attuali valori sociali. L'8/°°° andrebbe sicuramente rispettato e mantenuto, come bilateralmente previsto dal Concordato tra Stato e Chiesa, ma perchè le eccedenze attribuite da un giudice con una anomala sentenza interpretativa del 2003 non dovrebbero essere meglio riversate ad un Fondo comune di Solidarietà, magari sistematicamente bi-monitorato, per il sostegno dei disoccupati and maybe even to solve some of the many problems faced by poor resources in the Italian public school? What Are these (the employment and education of the young) children and social issues that can not be of interest to our Italian Church in front of the surplus (three times) that for some years it (CEI) collects? Or do we prefer to keep the moralists from the pulpit, close to the hypocrisy, benefiting from unforeseen conditions of privilege? Sergio Andreatta

What Kind Of Weave Does Myamee Wear?

"outsource" business and "outsource" services can undermine a country's social policies


Relocating ... When
"outsource" business and "outsource" the services can put a strain on social policies di un Paese.


Sergio Andreatta
Politica: ‎"Delocalizzare" le imprese, "esternalizzare" i servizi pubblici: nell'attualità economica italiana sembra non si parli d'altro, ora, ma possono essere solo questi i nuovi termini di ogni modernità nel campo del lavoro?... (da: www.andreatta.it )
Quando "delocalizzare" le imprese ed "esternalizzare" i servizi può mettere in crisi le politiche sociali di un Paese.
‎"Delocalizzare" le imprese, "esternalizzare" i servizi pubblici: nell'attualità economica italiana sembra non si parli d'altro, ora, ma possono essere solo questi i nuovi termini di ogni modernità nel campo del lavoro?

Le social, the anthropological perspective would, therefore, lost part of their value so as to rely less and less in this country where it seems to return to dominate above all the pursuit of profit by the captains of industry? But is it the right and final goal to which we must seek employment policy and our economy?

Tens of thousands of people every day who lose their jobs, finding themselves suddenly in the position of "unemployed existential and social" do not have a right to know and, above all, they have no right to union protections? Social policies, so as not to enter the academic structural approaches, the functionalist or pragmatic political science, are trivially reducible, you know, for a mere practice of Confindustria and the government. Practice also historically changeable, easily influenced and affected, as it is, also by international economic variables contingencies.

It is said that this rush of entrepreneurs to relocate, you do not know if more circumspect that pirates or soldiers of fortune, is playing in Italy for about fifteen years ago and is having a recent surge in finding its post conditions in facilities tax offered by developing countries in favorable labor costs, the lack of union protections and guarantees in general faced by workers and workers in that state.

Yet some of these countries, coma, Romania, recently entered the EU and should comply with and be subject to the same rules as civil, rather than organizational, and normativity of a similar contract. Binding.

How can, otherwise, to take Italy long to unfair competition from systems where workers are paid with 400 €. a month? Albania, Macedonia, Serbia ... it failed miserably in the spotlight for the ultimate intention of transferring FIAT - Relocation of the production of a car while in Italy's historic factory in Termini Imerese Termoli, Pomigliano d'Arco, and perhaps Piedimonte S. Germano already suffocating for lack of orders and, most importantly, adequate investment and care menageriali contracted seeing their chances of survival operational, if not the same threat in the short closure. And how they can benefit the separate agreements, the so-called "model Marchionne, which many employers now seek derogation from the national contract, you may consider only later, in the medium and long term. Yet the FIAT, secular leader in the automotive industry in Italy, will have enjoyed in the past government policies to support and abundant providence that was paid by the State to draw and pumping out of the pockets of us Italian citizens, or am I wrong? Thus, even for this substantial aspect, the question can not properly be understood as a problem now that the political-governmental (European probabilmente, forse anche di dimensioni mondiali per certe sfaccettature), prima ancora che soltanto interno-sindacale. Per non parlare poi dei nuovi mercati emergenti della Cindia (Cina e India) dove si va a fare impresa senza eccessivi rischi, potendo prefigurare i più lucrosi guadagni anche in virtù di condizioni quasi da neo-schiavismo in cui vengono sottoposti e mantenuti quegli operai. Stipendi da fame, indegni di una condizione umana, ma comunque ritenuti in quell'orizzonte più o meno lontano misure - seppur stentate - per una sufficiente sopravvivenza umana. Questa materia costituisce la prima incombente questione sociale (a studio di sociologi e antropologi per i tanti risvolti), la difficile scommessa ma anche una questione morale di fondo for our country.

What, then, between the profit of the master and the citizen's constitutional right to work (Article 1 of the Constitution) should take precedence? Or better yet, what has gone so far as to tear up the infringement of the traditional balance reached, finding the right balance between profit by dell'indutriale and the achievement of fair compensation by the employee?

course of the fable Menenio Agrippa (who explained the Roman social order metaphorically, comparing it to a human body in which, as in all sets consisting of parts connected to each other, work together if they survive, perish if they disagree with) would seem to be back of the biggest news is still much to do school.

with us, here in Latin, as in other provinces, meanwhile, has failed the industrial, pharmaceutical-chemical plant failed and almost all the food. And Nexans is the case of the day, got some breathing notwithstanding, thanks to the strenuous struggle of the workers and the solidarity of the former colleague and Premio Strega Antonio Pennacchi (Canale Mussolini, Mondadori), but no solid hope for the future . The recruitment of nurses in ASL are blocked and mandated benefits for which you have the most essential needs, a cooperative with which one conventional lower-cost average of 20% per capita intakes are blocked in the school, the civil service, in local government, in law enforcement ... Wherever the difficulties of the moment. In trade, the challenge provocative and exuberant number of licenses granted, could only be won by the pitiless logic of shopping centers to the detriment of small shopkeepers and family businesses. How many failures, many closure. The same quality of life for many people seems to have been reversed, adversely affected. And in many cases, those who have lost their jobs, does not know how to support their families rather than maintaining the previous level of living standards. The young man responsible, maybe even bi-graduate, is desperately seeking a qualified employment without being certain to find it in reasonable time. Youth without cultivation projects of life, prey to frustration. The same Church's social doctrine volersene seemed, somehow, busy lately. But in this scenario there is still shocking people, oblivious of the reality principle and demonstrating a social conscience and democratic absolutely precarious, having neglected for years, some valuable policy of redistribution of resources to be captured by means of an equitable tax policy for Do not touch the powerful lobby of friends, were told to try again the Italians, including the scandals of the new tangentopoli with absurdly optimistic visions. © - Sergio Andreatta

Caravaggio, the sacred and the profane. In a conference
Hermitage of St. Molise Professor Roberta Egidio Lapucci ...


Prof. Roberta Lapucci University of Florence, takes stock of the latest research on diagnostic canvases of the great painter, to mark the four hundredth of death.

Merisi The projected onto the canvas models in wax paper and resorted to the expedient use of mirrors, to faithfully reproduce the figure, with the help of light passing through a pinhole (camera obscura).
Sergio Andreatta (www.andreatta.it)


Frost, the Hermitage of St. Egidio, 05/06/2010) - Duecento chilometri mi separano dal convegno “Caravaggio, il sacro e il profano” che si svolge nel quarto centenario della morte in un piccolo eremo della montagna molisana. L’idea-progetto, sponsorizzata dal Liceo classico statale G.A. Colozza, oggi istituto onnicomprensivo, di Frosolone (IS), è dell’eremita padre Luciano Proietti. Un ossimoro questo, se volete, piuttosto singolare ma non per chi ne conosce la sua profonda cultura, come me che ho presentato a Latina il suo profondissimo libro (Elogio della vita solitaria, Effatà Editrice, Torino, 2008. Prefazione di Anna Maria Cànopi OSB, copertina e illustrazioni di Giorgia Eloisa Andreatta) e non si stupisce più di tanto sapendo che il suadente francescano non lascerebbe mai nulla di intentato nella sua missione pur di richiamare all’ovile le sue pecorelle. La giornata di fine primavera (5.06.2010) ai 1125 metri sul Monte Gonfalone, a 3,5 km. sopra l’abitato, è stupenda, ricca di vividi colori e intensi profumi. Nel magismo di luci e ombre già caro al grande pittore lombardo. “La Chiesa parla agli artisti”, padre Luciano Proietti è così abile svisceratore di tutte le “naturali parentele tra fede e arte” che ne richiama, introducendo, tutti i passi e i passaggi partendo dal Concilio Vaticano II per inoltrarci in una sapiente rassegna di pronunciamenti dei papi post-conciliari. Seduti negli scomodi banchi della Chiesetta di S. Egidio, misurato contrappasso per i nostri molti peccati, siamo catturati dalla teoria delle sue puntuali citazioni e da un pensiero imperniato sul “bisogno di bellezza… per non oscurarsi…” che ha il mondo in cui viviamo. Nell’arte, nell’immagine egli riscopre un forte principio cristologico, una parte integrante del culto quasi in opposizione al deserto dell’iconoclastia che pure non dovrebbe non affascinare poco un eremita votato alla meditazione e all’ascesi e per ciò stesso amante del vuoto ed elogiatore della vita solitaria. Un altro ossimoro. Ma, ecco, che senza sforzi particolari la “via veritatis” viene fatta coincidere con la “via pulchritudinis”, nella bellezza come forma superiore di conoscenza e close proximity to God in the necessary dialogue between aesthetics and ethics capable of discovering and capable to take full advantage of all the links that exist in the language of images and symbols. And so exhausted that this road would prove once again winning the News of a new ministry to say, the educational value of art, a concept already found in other respects the Council of Trent, and therefore well known to Caravaggio to its principals of the time. But with it, the painter cursed, almost as if to break free from a gag-law tried in every way to oppose, in the manner allowed and tolerated since, to appear heretical in some of its modes of expression. "The Church speaks to Artists "is the notebook I of the series" Faith and Art "that collects the thoughts of ... Now Tonino Proietti De Luca, professor emeritus of art history at the local high school, has the pictorial context of the '500 (mannerisms) which opposes the research that addresses the naturalism of Caravaggio and the Enlightenment, the principle engine of his religion that is inspired by a vision pauperism of the Church and the salvation of the soul sought even more existential thrust into transgression. And so, at this point, you can not miss even a hatch in the essentiality of his biography. The moderator, Prof. Marika Jordan, is trying to strike up conversations so much different. In a search for lightness and the art of a musical duo, violin and keyboard (Max Santomauro and forgive me if I do not remember the name of the pretty partner at the keyboard), proposed under the vault of the classroom only hermit by interludes of the church's Sonata No. 2 by JS Bach. But touch soon with Professor Roberta Lapucci, Professor of Conservation, artistic techniques and diagnostics in specialized courses for graduate students at the University of Florence in the departments of chemistry and art history and American Art History at the University Saci and restorer to account for a preview of his latest amazing research on the painting Caravaggio (www.robertalapucci.com ). Siamo al vero clou di questo Convegno, agli attesi apporti di una vera autorità in materia per le approfondite sue ricerche e la vasta bibliografia pubblicata sul tema, al motivo conoscitivo e artistico per cui ci siamo mossi in sei da Latina. Ormai è dimostrato come Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio usasse la camera ottica e la “multiproiezione “ delle figure. Dimostrato in modo inconfutabile e la studiosa porta ad esempio il “Bacco”, mancino perché speculare, e il “Ragazzo col ramarro”, eseguito in due pose diverse. Qualcosa di più della sola ipotesi suggestiva che, oltre che nel gabinetto romano anche nelle sue varie peregrinazioni per l’Italia, l’artista brought with it the need to reuse models in wax paper to be projected onto the canvas and resorted to the expedient use of mirrors, to faithfully reproduce the figure, with the help of light passing through a pinhole (camera obscura). According to this scholar, artist's interest in the reception of optical phenomena and perspective would be dated to the period of its formation, the environment Lombardy-Veneto, having then been able to develop during his stay in Rome with Cardinal Del Monte (which possessed a well-equipped toilet alchemy). It seems now certain that the Caravaggio entertain relations with the scientific circles of the time of Galileo. E rest of the phenomena of reproduction of shapes projected on the principle of the pinhole had already been tested even in Leonardo's anatomical studies and are reported in the writings of Girolamo Cardano and Monsignor Daniele Barbaro. Professor Roberta Lapucci returns to Bacchus in the Uffizi to say, left-handed, "holding the glass with his left hand." It says there is no precedent for this and it is clear that the image is the result of "copying from a projection obtained by putting into practice methods, however, at that time prevalent in the environment. "Just flip the image for a more natural picture." The boy bitten by lizard: "If we try to divide the face into two parts and move apart, it is obvious that the portrait is the result of a blend of two different moments of pose: one where the young is more frontal and more enlightened than the other - says scholar in front of the projections which follow caught the interest - plus the size and the features do not match at all. " Caravaggio, as in life, in search of the most sublime expression of art undergoes a fascinating attraction to light and darkness, the experience as a coach (1595-1605) in a study very similar to a camera lens: from a hole in the ceiling in the middle of the room, to penetrate light. He does, then use "science" of light. "... The light in the room, with the passing of hours, constantly changing - continues Roberta Lapucci - and the system of lenses and mirrors, of which he served was out of focus causing him to start a new installation." From the light comes in a continuous movement effect of shadows, a "fish-eye effect" with the need for the painter of a continuous re-focusing. So to paint, not only at the time, the painter was using in his research to boost the realism of the aid of optical instruments such as lenses and mirrors, and averred that by now. Circulated and aroused much interest among the artists of the time captured Magia naturalis III of the book where Giovan Battista Della Porta, a chapter (XVII) is dedicated to "anyone who does not know how depingere, could draw a portrait of a man will or some other thing. As long as you only know the colors look like. " This is the surprising discovery, the result of long and accurate historical research (started in 1986 by the study of its first two biographers Mancini (1617-21) and the Bellori (1672 -) and diagnostic tests and x-ray on "figures sbattimentate" which has come Lapucci starting from some assumptions and insights of Longhi Hockney (The secret revealed, 2000). But David Hockney has also written: "... the camera optical alone does not paint "and:" The fact that he used Merisi optical instruments - concluded between the share of the audience applauded Roberta Lapucci which has continued in recent years looking for evidence of use of these tools during the stay of ' artist in Naples, Sicily and Malta - does not alter the expressive power of his paintings, his creativity and his undoubted talent. " Another fundamental element useful in understanding, and without daring approximations, the great painter and his work since revealed the depth of compositional technique and stylistic interpretation. Next, in a conference that has become a long and tiring, Elio Di Michele, "The mud de Rome" (Palombi Editori, Rome, 2009), offers a bold, far-fetched, the parallels between route with a score of sonnets irreverent and Roman Roman poet Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli and paintings on the theme "Bible" by Caravaggio . The most cultural ends with the most relevant and meaningful action by the prof. Emanuele Troisi, professor of history and philosophy in high school that focuses on classic philosophical thought of the end of the sixteenth century and focuses in particular on the thesis of Giordano Bruno (De la cause, principle et a, 1584) appeared already saturated the circulating scientific thinking on independence of thought and his impatience with the observance of dogmas which was, inevitably, to clash with the contemporary theology official (including, on the eve of Corpus Christi which occurs tomorrow, I recall his rejection of transubstantiation). Reflecting the structure of the universe itself, the human mind, which in itself is not ideas, but the "Platonic" shadows of ideas (De umbris idearum), it can achieve true knowledge, that the ideas and the connection which everything connects with all others, beyond the multiplicity of particular elements and their change over time. It is ultimately to seek a cognitive method that captures the complexity of reality, to the ideal structure that supports the whole. Something, Research method, which combines painting by Caravaggio with the philosophy of Giordano Bruno. So the resulting charges of heresy and his condemnation to the stake in Campo de 'Fiori in Rome (17 February 1600) by the Inquisition. Another oxymoron, but there you speak of heresy and death sentence imposed by the Church in a church but God's ways, especially among the shepherds of the mountains of Molise, ... are always infinite. The artistic image and man, the human image and likeness of God, and perhaps as long creeping dangerously in my thinking, a penetration (including theological) God in some way in man's image. It concludes with the final words of sessantaseienne Franciscan who is hosting us this long and exhausting performance rich in diverse cultural contributions, some perhaps a bit 'disconnected from the main subject, but whose strengths are to be found not only in addresses pastoral father Luciano Proietti (whose path spiritual in recent years takes place between the meditative silence of these ancient walls of St Giles and the hermit cave above which was set up between the rocks of Morgia Quadra attracting like a beacon in the storms of life that many people in trouble here arrives from all directions, even from afar), mainly documented in the scientific report, now close to publication, the art historian and scholar elective Professor Roberta Lapucci of Caravaggio in Florence. When I left the Conference of the bleached rocks Morgia, tormented by the form to become part peculiar to this horizon, do not shine on the bright emerald of the meadows. And the colors almost extinct if they are already going into the night. © Sergio Andreatta - in: www.andreatta.it (12 photos are published on this event)
