Il Petrarca dell'ingegnere.
This paper focuses on a sonnet by Giovanni Casoni, who worked as engineer in Venice during the first half of the nineteenth century and developed some methods about medieval venetian Archeology. From his literary production, mostly still unpublished, are here slected some verses on the recognition, in 1843, of Francesco Petrarca tomb in Arquà. The composition is interesting for some new elements that it provides around this circumstance, and as evidence of the political inclinations of Casoni

Finding a Teacher of Navigation Abroad in Eighteenth-Century Venice: A Study of the Circulation of Useful Knowledge
Being an engineer and being an architect in eighteenth-century Italy: professional identity as a reflection of political fragmentation
Italy in the eighteenth century was a constellation of states, each with its own
particular characteristics. Italian engineers and architects, like those in the rest of
Europe, defined their competencies by progressively differentiating their roles,
thanks as well to a long period of peace between 1748 and the French revolution
that Italy enjoyed. Their professional profiles depended on the various forms of
recruitment, from theoretical education to practical training provided by the state
or the corporations, which brings us to the history of universities, academies
and the creation of pedagogical institutions, both in the military and in the
civilian sphere. If in Europe, and above all in England and in France, the process
of differentiation between the two professional figures at the end of the 1700s
appeared to be advanced, professional roles in Italy were conditioned either by
the hegemonic presence of the central administration and of the local aristocracy
or by the land and commercial middle classes. It was not until the Napoleonic age
that we find a clear notion of the separation and identification of the two roles,
along with a clear-cut intention to use uniform methods of recruitment based on
competence and merit.Although the results were not the same everywhere, the
basis was laid for new and more informed ways to practice the professions
