Dolzhikov Romans Nostaljgiya Noti

Ledgers from the Milanese bank Filippo Borromei and Company of Bruges and London have been transcribed by James Bolton and Francesco Guidi Bruscoli as part of the Borromei Research Project at Queen Mary, University of London. The ledger for Bruges, dated 1438, offers information about the financial activities of the Giustiniani family of Genoa and names Raffaello Giustiniani as the member of the family based in Bruges.

This article explores the context of this new piece of evidence, which offers a fresh perspective on the potential connection between this Genoese family and the Bruges workshop of Jan van Eyck.

Roaming Romans indeed! As a two year old convert to the Catholic Faith, this groups work has opened. My eyes to the rich history and tradition of Christianity as it is found within Catholicism.

Is it something Italians are proud of and nostalgic about? See, with China and India, both of them are extremely proud of their ancient civilisations and reminisce about the \'glory days\' and when they were the \'biggest and the best\'. The Greeks are pretty darn proud about it (even forcing the Macedonians to agree that they\'ve no heritage with regards to Alexander the Great) But do Italians have that same pride and nostalgia about the Roman Empire? Or is it something that doesn\'t feature particularly heavily and Italians don\'t bother too much about it? I don\'t know about India, but I want to say about China and chinese people that there\'s a huge discrepancy between the general (and very vague) sense of pride they cultivate towards their antiquity, and the actual testimonies of it, as it\'s very difficult to find evidences of their heritage anywhere in mainland China.

Simply put, conservation and maintenance of antiquity have almost no place in their mentality as compared to how, here, in the cradle of Western Civilization, people cherish the legacy of our past (be it texts, architecture or whatever.). If you go anywhere in China and ask for what would constitute \'antique\' stuff, they\'ll probably point you to some buildings from the 1950s.
