An elevation spontaneous and sincere to our God and Creator to make it through with hearts full of gratitude for the bread that makes love with on our tables every day The words of the Lord's Prayer, spoken in Latin by the early Christians in pagan Rome of the great emperors, first softly and then in the twilight shadows favorable chorus, finally free and united, God raised

addition to fundamental and important symbolic and spiritual sense - " I am the Bread of Life "(John 6.35) - because Jesus Christ is for us Christians the Bread of Eternal Life - The Pater Noster relies on the benevolence of God every day because this is the bread on our tables, food, along with water, essential for survival.

Similar to Christian tradition, the Jewish tradition and various other religious cults, and cover an area dedicated exclusively to the particular relevance and prayer addressed to God the Creator before you eat a meal daily .

In sad and very regrettable global scenario of serious and profound ethical and spiritual regression, which clearly distinguishes our optical Vico century as an era of moral decadence and dark serious setback to the barbarism, these antique-and-now unfortunately obsolete practices must emerge spontaneously and with strong momentum in all of us who lights illuminating the darkness of despair and doubt of becoming.

I remember in my childhood spent in the beloved land of Tuscany, with love as my maternal grandmother Angie "before dinner" (ie, before eating), I marked with the Cross, clasping her hands and asked to repeat this simple prayer: "Lord , we thank you for this bread on the table and the daily food that you give us. Amen " .

We must all give thanks to God the bread on our tables every day this , especially thinking about those who, even today, in the twenty-first century, suffering from hunger and hardship of living ....

I Santini and ancient devotional image sometimes attest to the ancient and beautiful Christian prayer of thanks for their daily bread, embossing on paper for future reference the important moment when the family gathered in the room of the home, and before sitting at the table, the reassuring warmth of a fire and in front of a bowl of soup or steaming soup, fragrant rose, in the incomparable, the sacred values \u200b\u200bof family unity, sincere ode of gratitude to the Lord .

Santino The accompanying this article, a steel engraving of the first half of XIX century on the basis of paper, with silver leaf frame with elegant lace punch, celebrates this ancient and important tradition is represented in the illustrations, just for the uncommon depiction of the theme shows as well as a valuable record of great religious and cultural value , undoubtedly, in a strictly collectible, even a precious rarity.

Private Collection Galanz

In the small but fascinating area of \u200b\u200bSantini Pictures of the devotions and specifically devoted to dual function of precious intermediaries between man and God and effective means of protection from evil and all its harmful influences and events , in historic times due to the temporal-documentatamente between the seventeenth century and the next XVIII - contemporaneous with the spread in certain areas of the European territory of ancient and Catholic tradition, the now much sought after and collected BREVERL - see article here on the Blog- successfully starting to disclose , especially in the abovementioned regions- southern Germany (Bavaria), Austria, Flemish Belgium, France and from this location immediately adjacent to the -Santini very special and finely crafted, fully satisfying atavism needed by man to feel reassuringly preserved and protected by a multifaceted and terrifying manifestation of the unfortunate and mournful works of the devil : among them the notorious " sonticus morbus" (Latin: criminal or killer disease), or "falling sickness " commonly called, or the ' epilepsy, uncontrollable and all evil' era absolutely incurable, that unexpected and sudden onset, resulting in tumbling fall to the ground of the person who was affected could often get to even cause death .

Thus, the seizures , ancient evil as the man who grieved over the millennia, not sparing anyone, young and old, beautiful and ugly, poor and emperors Julius Caesar , valiant commander, famous and talented political strategist, as well as the first, true Emperor of Rome, as handed down by Pliny suffered, often the onset of evil forced to stop abruptly, with understandable unease and terror of the audience present, comitia chaired (hence the further definition of "morbus comitialis " data to the trouble).

But what is the link-or rather, where it is to be found-in this ancient and dreaded disease of mysterious origins contours and nebulous and unknown, and religion, popular devotion testified and expressed by the ancient sacred images ?

Already in the Rome of Caesar in the first century BC but documentatamente even much earlier, this dreaded disease, due to the indecipherable origin and for the rapid and unexpected onset of serious crisis seizures that characterize it specifically, was regarded with horror by malignant demons, often fatal outcome from .

Within a specific time reference, and therefore inextricably historical and cultural context in which this unusual type of devotional image more was produced and spread in ' Catholic Europe - just buckets. seventeenth and eighteenth - the population had to watch helplessly in horror as the onset of diseases and deadly pandemics pestilential that wherever sowed grief, despair and discouragement .

With undoubted, originally derived from the connection and pictorial representations of the notes and chalcographic "Dances macabres "-o Dance macabre - and the even more famous theme MEMENTO MORI ( points out that you shall die "), which in different contexts and exhibitions in the past I have dealt with here on the Blog, the inheritance and the genetic memory medieval the vast and complex theme of ' HORROR Mortis - or" Terror of Death "- returns since the seventeenth century to overwhelmingly dominate the European social and religious.

unexpected tragic events ever created, in any historical context, religious and social and any latitude, bewilderment and fear.
relevant and consistent with the Christian tradition , where the disease creeps harbinger of death triumphs faith and with it the theological virtue of Hope in eternal life after death, then, is the glorious life over death in memory of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God

Just to recall Christians to the teachings of the Holy Scriptures and in order to reassure and reassure the criticality of a deeply historical context marked by sickness and death, monks and nuns in monasteries and ancient monasteries, the first to create and spread the original and valuable type of Santino that inspired this article today.

Born of the famous woodcuts, wood engravings - or on plates of copper, such details and today very rare and sought Santini, of considerable historical, religious and cultural, were printed on precious silk and satin, often in the very Catholic area Flemish, produced and signed by famous local artists and engravers.

But why were printed on silk and paper or on the still more noble parchment?

The reason is clearly due to the deductive and inevitably BREVERL - or SANTINI-AMULETI SCACCIADEMONI the same period, and posthumously, but no less famous, SHORT of St. Anthony of Padua, printed on canvas, the first half of sec.XX, already widely both I covered here on the Blog: being Santini-Relic- in the specific case of Santino shown in the picture accompanying this article we talk about Santino- Class II relic - with its invocation to the Holy intercession to protect holder, similar to summentovati BREVERL and SHORT OF SAINT ANTHONY, made up stuff just because they could more easily and confidentially be in direct contact with the person , all sewn 'inside a home or within pillows and even within the same cradles of children, to protect from evil eye - the known and still widespread popular belief in the middle between religion and superstition, corresponding to hypothetical adverse effects from envy amply considered by others - spells, accidents while traveling and, last but not least, the infamous and scongiuratissima sudden death.

Since the most remote antiquity in the long history of 'man, unknown and incurable disease the harbinger of death was associated the darkness and the forces of evil, and for these reasons and then generating of anxiety and fear.

In Gospel of Matthew, chapter 17, from v. 14 to 18, we read: " It came toward the crowd, came a man who knelt, saying, Lord, have mercy my son, because he is epileptic .... Then Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and since then the boy was cured .

In the Synoptic Gospels of Mark and Matthew are finally given the remedies, represented by fasting and prayer devoted to drive out the demons responsible for the serious illness .
and carefully examining the details of the Santino today, alongside the effigy of Magi, Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar , right read:

SANCTI TRES Reges
GASPAR MELCHIOR-BALTHASAR
bream pro- nobis nunc et in hora mortis nostrae

much sought after by collectors Santini Germany, Austria and Belgium, and rare availability paper on the art market internationally, this interesting type of image has today devoted considerable prices ranging from a minimum of 45-50 Euro to a maximum of Euro 120-150.

Collectibles Santini and Culture: The Company Litoleografica San Giuseppe di Modena

Opera devoted by scholars and collectors Giorgio Leonardi the famous St. Joseph Litoleografica Company, the pride and pride of the city of Modena in the production of original and beautiful since Santini 1857.

enacting social scene typically innovative and popular feature renewal in Europe in the nineteenth century, and in particular its second half, I bring today the attention of collectors and readers of the blog an important Italian publishing house, born in Modena in 1857 by a brilliant idea and enthusiastic initiative of a priest, Monsignor Luigi Della Valle (Modena 0.1829 to 1899 ): The Company Litoleografica St. Joseph, producer of lucky, and now much sought after and collected, Santini.

Thanks to research and patient Giorgio Leonardi passionate collector and scholar of history spans almost six decades, the thriving publishing house in Modena, in 1999, to coincide with the exhibition Santini, prepared by the Parish and the City of Spilamberto (Modena), the quaint town on the left bank of the Panaro, at the elegant Villa Fabriani , stately family residence in spilambertese secc.XVIII and XIX (now home to the Coterie vinegar Traditional Balsamic Vinegar of Modena Spilamberto and the Museum of Traditional Balsamic) and in memory of the centenary of the death of Monsignor Luigi Della Valle , was written by him and published a small but very interesting memorial of the flourishing Help Company Litoleografica San Jose and its founder ; in it unfolds, accurate and Specifically, the 'adventure typographical Success Santini, original and truly beautiful and cared even the smallest detail, from 1867 until the year 1924 about .

The spread of printing and Catholic apostolate through Sacred Images , as well as live according to the wish expressed by the then Holy Father Pope Pius IX (Senigallia 0.1792-Rome, 1878), were the vital spirit that animated, since its founding in 1857 , the original Printing Immaculate Conception, located at number 10 in the historic Via dei Servi, dearly in the hearts of all the Modenese.

I Santini or devoted pictures Modena, famous and soon spread throughout Italy, initially created as simple monochrome etchings and lithographs at the Printing Immaculate Conception, with the advent of St. Joseph Litoleografia , according to ' careful reconstruction of the Author Giorgio Leonardi occurred about a decade later, or in 1867, thanks to the strong artistic sense and purpose of the Founder s'impreziosirono of elegant details in pure gold, rich floral decorations, garlands refined and precious photographs of very small , often cut into oval celebrants Saints and Martyrs most revered, already addressed in prayers and heartfelt prayers from the sincere devotion of the people.

love for their land, teaches ...

After the ecological disaster caused by the E-ON, the "green conscience" of the people of Porto Torres, Sassari, Castelsardo, they all gathered together to clean up the beaches of the fuel that reached the island of Corsica.
This excites me, because there has been an awareness and responsibility in relation to their mother earth, and every year that passes, it is increasingly polluted by foreign multinationals who come to us and use us as "island- garbage. "
For once, people will regain possession of the territory, through peaceful demonstrations, but also giving himself to be done to restore the environment, making it return to its natural condition and good repair. The call of Mother Earth has been heard and now she is happy that their children will care for them. It 's like a parent who takes care of their offspring and that gets old, wait that the latter have to take care of her.
I'd like the rest of Sardinia, would do the same to keep the right BALANCE between natural and artificial human resources, in most cases, extremely dangerous.
But a special thanks, I have to send to the president IRS Gavino Sale, who followed the story from the beginning, which referred the matter to the Environment Committee and is monitoring the situation day by day.
In the photos that portrayed on the beach, you could see his pain, he watched that environment, "colored" black. In these cases it clear a person's humanity or rather of a child who takes care of his sick mother.

Thanks Gavin, with inhabitants of the region of Sassari.

A Democratic poll, to see which path to choose independence

Hello,

'm back with my blog, the previous rule was: www.memolimatteo.blogspot.com

After what happened in the IRS, movement of which I did / do? already a party, I find myself undecided on which path to choose.

The main question is: Can IRS or the Constituent Assembly?. Frankly, I have one foot on one side and the other one, because on both sides, I respect everyone, without exception, are all wonderful people who taught me so much and with whom I shared and I share a lot.

For the first time, I find myself not only wrong-footed, very undecided. For this reason I decided to create a poll (on the right), in which every friend of independence, is militant, which an ordinary citizen, may give his vote, according to the type of ideal that brings independence and in which movement is reflected, for ideas and values.

It 's a survey of seven days, thanks to participatory democracy, I will indicate the future path to be taken in our large and beautiful galaxy of independence.

The saga of the common "Santini lace" of the XIX century French production: rearing of arbitrary costs equal to the actual quotes: WARNING! The Souvenirs

Extremely rare and spectacular Santino "in theater" , three-dimensional, made from refined and unique taste of 'Parisian publisher Maison Basset in the first half of XIX century.

Since 1865, the acquisition of the publishing house by the Editor-Bouasse Lebel, was re-proposed by the latter with his signature the same, identical Santino.

A fair price, adhering to the paper quotes the antiquarian market internationally applied, should not exceed 150 max 180-200 Euro.

Private Collection Galanz

To coincide with the beginning of the past Christmas holidays I was contacted by several collectors who, confused and somewhat perplexed a 'sudden surge in prices , I asked a personal opinion on precisely those data from certain sellers on the internet to a type of Santino among the most expensive to collect and Collectors: the Santini laced or "lace Santini" - alias " Canivet mechanical " improperly so called, of French production, dating from the nineteenth century, reports received after personal checks have -Unfortunately-promptly confirmed: simple and absolutely commonplace Santini-laced aka Canivet mechanical "steel engraving in color or even black and white, and even in the even more common and serial Chromolithograph produced by French publishers in the XIX century and the early twentieth hundreds and thousands of copies absolutely identical , paradoxically, they were almost at the same time offered for sale by different vendors and different locations of the vast online market cost diverse: the same Santino could be acquired by the most Collectors shrewd and lucky to site 15 MAX 25 Euro-XY while being almost simultaneously on-site XZ brazenly proposed at 50-100 Euros, or twice or even four times the value of its real price, anywhere in Europe recognized and applied.

WARNING!

Months ago, I published an article I wrote on this blog specifically devoted to REAL CURRENT PRICES multiple locations within the European Market Antique paper, referring to the main and most internationally Santini collected types: for those of you who had not yet had a chance to read it, an invitation to do so now by clicking this link:

http://ilcollezionismodeisantini.blogspot.com/2010/09/guida-allacquisto-sicuro-nel-mercato.html

As written in this article and repeatedly, to protect Collector-Consumer , before clicking the button "buy it now" or, even worse, before participating in a 'virtual auction on the internet with prices starting absolutely extortionate and not fair and non-match internationally recognized stock exchange listing to Santino in question from the antiquities market paper, I invite you promptly temperance, suggesting to the simple "cross-checks," going on other sites and places of selling on the web at Santini Santino look the same at a price more consistent and honest.

Specifically, I remember that very common Santini laced steel engraving in black and white, the French in the nineteenth century, there are hundreds, and " flow-through "for sale on the Internet by 3-4 Euro 15-20 Euro MAX for those of them in perfect condition , those with a colored steel engraving hand are easily available on the web at fair cost ranging from 20 to MAX 45 -50 Euro .

decidedly different-and this time JUSTIFIABLY ! - Is the cost, including Santini produced by the various French publishers of the XIX century, one of those products very sharply, very limited few of copies, including supporting the Santini laced "to system" or "in theater" or also called three-dimensional: for example, cite the rare Santino "The boat of Mary Editor Bouasse-Lebel: I have personally seen so far, for sale on the internet, just three examples, the proposed fair price of Euro 150 or so .

For more information, especially the novice collector, stated emphatically that in certain rare type Santini falling o in "to system" which includes as known to collectors as well to the above, very rare and very popular "Santini in theater"-or "dimensional" or "pop-up" otherwise known as the equally-famous Santini "on newsstands" or "Surprise" , the most RARE, and consequently LISTED, are those produced by French publishers whose business, precisely because sadly ended prematurely because of economic difficulties after a few decades of production, placing on the market paper a very limited number of copies, which is particularly sought after by collectors learned: this is the typical case of Santini signed by the Publisher Parisian Maison Basset and original factory of signorilissima Santini French lace, in my personal opinion, the finest the vast and elegant French market of the period, not surprisingly, following the acquisition House by the Editor-Bouasse Lebel, from this' last "revised and corrected", that is replicated from the original printed steel plates engraved by Maison Basset, putting in place of the signature of the original and brilliant inventor, his own.

finally conclude by informing collectors and players who are even now beginning to approach this enchanting and culturally very important sector collectible, that throughout the century. XIX in France and, indirectly, to trade, lawful and proper acquisition of parts of steel plates engraved, or even-and often-Indelicato and unauthorized misappropriation of Santini products in steel engraving on a lace mechanically punch by another publishing house, also in Italy, in the person of the ancient Publisher Leonardi based Via Po in Turin , (to name one of the best known at the time at national level) for release for years on the healthy and profitable market for devotional image of lace-typical and distinctive of the Romantic era-some "models" and effigies Saints were born from the creativity of other authors originating from beyond the Alps with his signature, as aforesaid, perhaps illegally appropriating, in specific and distinct cases, that are now known and strict laws strictly protected right: the copyright-which is already widely recognized at the time, already regulated by laws and Santino unequivocally attested by the words "deposits" - Today, after more than a century and means, universally respected and known by the name of all COPYRIGHT.

Flanders, eighteenth century

Private Collection Dr.Theo Breugelmans

the brush was guided by the traditional and well-known mastery of a Monaco-Artist amanuensis, or more likely, to the meticulous and delicate grace of the elements of the small fir stylized floral and framing the precious Miniature St. Augustine, from light and gentle hand of a nun in the atmosphere of sublime spirituality of an ancient scriptorium fragrant incense and precious manuscripts, illuminated by bright gold, to create on 9 April 1761 year, with obsequious devotion, living and sharing mourning the luttino for Reverend Father Joannes Van Assem , probably the oldest and charismatic Abbot of some famous abbey surrounded by the lush greenery of a centuries-old forest of Flanders. We should probably extend our research back in time, a paper dating from the eighteenth century, jealously kept in stock details, although an investigation in this direction, we ignore the place where the Reverend Father lived three centuries ago, died and was buried according to ancient Christian tradition, not without difficulty land to the desired result, namely to give the person an identity complete, detailed biographical data and news and comprehensive.

The rare luttino , leading article today, even for the very exceptional represented in 1700 from the limited production is intended for this purpose, restricted to prominent figures of 'higher clergy and nobility , has achieved his original intention and inspiration, that of hand down to posterity the memory of the deceased , reaching across the centuries to us free in the chaste innocence and freshness of the parchment of delicate colors.
A witness and seal of the importance of the role in life by the Reverend Father Van Assem are the statuesque figure of Augustine of Hippo, Father and Doctor of the Church , depicted in the beautiful miniature, and the noble and resistant subject in question, as no doubt aforesaid, shall be devoted and loyal brother was given the undying memory.

The definition of the Netherlands share in the geographical sense, as well as historical and ancient Christian religious tradition, called the Northern Region Netherlands with the lush land of Flanders until the year 1581 ; from that date, in the complex and detailed scenery of the Catholic Counter , the fates and histories of these two nations were separated finally: the Netherlands, Flemish Nederland - now designated as separate territories of the Netherlands - accepting theories Lutherans and Calvinists, and Flanders-Vlaanderen Flemish-speaking strongly and heroically fighting in protection dogmas of the ancient Catholic tradition well established for centuries throughout the vast territory.
The Flemish literary tradition handed down the origins of the use of " LUTTINI " - in Flemish "met de hand geschreven BIDPRENTJES " as dating from the sixteenth century even, strictly artifacts and manuscripts on paper and / or on parchment and from the cloistered, but Protestant faith and specifically from Amsterdam and location immediately adjacent to that city.
For
Antwerp, and the same throughout the Flemish, the onset of "Souvenirs of the deceased " or LUTTINI of Catholic Christian faith was at least a century later and then reliably dated from the early, better and safer we say, the first half of the seventeenth century .

untraceable in the same territory of Flanders who can rightly be called the "prototype " old 's age Counter , inscribed on parchment almost exclusively in black and white or color by the engravers of the most popular and famous Flemish engravers, from Van Merlen to De Boudt - to name just two among many - the oldest, currently housed in various Museum of Popular Traditions as well as from private collections exclusive not crossing back in time to the date of 1770, being the majority of older years between 1775 and 1800, but nevertheless always represent the true and absolute rarity .

The formula commonly used for creating LUTTINI - or rather, for the adaptation of sacred images for this purpose in a cloister or in the shops of the abovementioned Engravers revisited and corrected - was simple and concise, both in the Baroque era that later in the century. XVIII: " BID VOOR " - ie " PLEASE FOR " or " PRAY FOR THE SOUL OF " followed by the name of the deceased and almost always from the date of death.

It was not until the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of 1800 because this formula is enriched with new elements, more and more detailed guidance in relation to the deceased to be commemorated: place of birth and death, the charge and the lined able - if, for example, high-tiered Military followed by a more or less long prayer .

Age of the Gracchi (BC) - Rome

In the Rome of the second century BC, in an era known to historians as Age the Gracchi , two centuries before the birth of Jesus 'Christ , the gravestones of travertine or marble from Egypt and Greece, skillfully carved by' inscriptor acquitted of the same function hand down to posterity the memory of dead, just as true, LUTTINI precursors.

The impressive epigraphic text shown above that which model of the compound from the veiled and even pain that emerges from the words dictated to ' inscriptor by her husband, celebrates the memory of a Roman woman, exemplary wife and mother.
her is passed the name - Clavdia - the two sons, one of whom died prematurely before her, and, according to the traditional multiple certificates from funerary inscriptions of ancient Rome, and the salient common ethical and behavioral characteristics which designate Matronae , ie the probe and honest mother.

Again, you will have to wait three more centuries, the period in which he lived Clavdia because text commemorating deceased persons become even a brief biography complete , with typical details of the summons and unmistakably characteristic of the person commemorated: the praenomen the nomen , the patronymic The origo - city or region of origin-the original tribus membership, the rank, office or the judiciary loans, as well course to 'age expressed years, months and days and sometimes, particularly linked to specific cases of sudden deaths and violent place - the city or region- theater of death.

I " LUTTINI " engraved on marble in ancient Rome , although contracting the soul of the late deceased hoped diligent and loving protection of Mani essentially differ in anything from hand-written prayers in the Baroque period or even in the very Catholic Flanders in modern LUTTINI still in use today in our country and throughout Europe and the world is the common heartbreaking pathos to an early death or other unexpected , identical-although written in language very different and far between them - touching words full of love and deep affection dedicated to the loved one who, stricken with grief and inconsolable, he stands.

Another forerunner, somewhat sui generis prototype of the current LUTTINI - in my personal those of questionable taste very elegant and far-was represented in Victorian era, with particular reference to the time and limited to the two decades that occurred between 1840 and 1860, from post mortem photographs .

This unusual and very regrettable fashion exploded in France, England and major countries of the 'central-northern Europe to coincide with the arrival of the first daguerreotypes and contextually the progress achieved in the field of printing permit - as odd and even short of creating custom- " should remember the dead " accompanied by photo- printed in sepia or black and white and often touched with details hand-colored - photograph of the deceased in death-note from which the name of post mortem photographs - all dressed up, with eyes wide open, sitting on comfortable chairs or in dormeuses positions completely natural as if it were still alive and, in the case of children, with the doll ol'orsetto preferred among tiny hands, to be distributed to relatives and friends in memory of the jointly disappeared.

Specifically in our country, except, as in the case of very rare and very valuable LUTTINO achieved in 1761 for the Reverend Father Joannes Van Assem a miniature on parchment, depicting St Augustine and belonging to the museum and is now well known to all collectors private collection of his Flemish Dr.Theo Breugelmans - for nobles and aristocrats, and senior officials, which are also related LUTTINI expensive and exclusive on parchment made mostly within the cloister, dating from the eighteenth century, also already have to wait until the XIX century for a fruimento mass reaches the apex of costume and more widespread after the beginning of the twentieth century with the advent of serial printing, a phenomenon known to collectors as the offset .

Let me add one more curiosity in this regard: in Italy, among the first publishers to spread with great success printing LUTTINI since the late nineteenth century and for the entire half of the next, it was the Mass of the Holy League Milan, star of the recent interesting catalog dedicated to the popular Santini chromolithographic of their production, competently edited by the collector and friend of Mr. Biagio Gamba.

which, translated into Italian, becomes extended best wishes to all collectors, friends and blog readers:

" Oh Jesus, may you be so sweet to us all for a Happy New Year! "

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011!
