Új kérdőív a szülői egészségműveltség mérésére
Authors: Gács Zsófia , Berend Katalin , Csanádi Gábor , Csizmady Adrienne
Published: October 2015

Introduction: Parental health literacy is an important factor of pediatric health. Although it is thorougly studied in other countries, neither proper definition, nor adequate tool for its measurement exists in Hungarian. Aim: The aim of this work was to define the dimensions of parental health literacy and to introduce a questionnaire for its measurement. Method: Opinions of parents, pediatric nurses and pediatricians on parental health literacy were used to establish the definition and basic components. Based on these and previously standardized tests a new questionnaire was developed. Results: Four dimensions of parental health literacy were formulated such as knowledge, functional literacy, self-confidence and motivation. The new questionnaire assesses all four dimension through eight topics. Conclusions: This is the first culturally adapted definition and test of parental health literacy in Hungarian. With its application the efficacy of both primary care services and health education may be improved and the correlation between parental health literacy and pediatric health may be properly studied.

A koleszterin-bioszintézis veleszületett zavara: a Smith–Lemli–Opitz-szindróma
Authors: Koczok Katalin , V. Oláh Anna , P. Szabó Gabriella , Oláh Éva , Török Olga , Balogh István
Published: October 2015

Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome is an autosomal recessive mental retardation and multiple malformation syndrome caused by deficiency of the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, the enzyme catalyzing the last step in cholesterol biosynthesis. The authors summarize the pathophysiology, epidemiology, clinical picture, diagnostics and therapy of the disease based on a review of the international literature. Since 2004, fourteen patients have been diagnosed with Smith–Lemli–Opitz syndrome in Hungary, which suggests an underdiagnosis of the disease based upon estimated incidence data. Due to deficiency of the 7-dehydrocholesterol reductase, serum cholesterol concentration is low and 7-dehydrocholesterol concentration is elevated in blood and tissues; the latter being highly specific for the syndrome. Detection of disease-causing mutations makes the prenatal diagnosis possible. The clinical spectrum is wide, the most common symptom is syndactyly of the second and third toes. Standard therapy is cholesterol supplementation. Recent publications suggest that oxidative compounds of 7-dehydrocholesterol may play a role in the pathophysiology of the disease as well. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(42), 1695–1702.
Az egészséges táplálkozás és a fizikai aktivitás hatása a non-HDL-koleszterin-szintre cardiovascularis betegségtől mentes, nem diabeteses elhízott személyekben
Authors: Móczár Csaba
Published: October 2015

Introduction: Prevention program including lifestyle changes was initiated with the participation of obese and overweight subjects recruited from the practices of 29 family doctors. Aim: The aim of the author was to analyse changes of non-HDL-cholesterol levels, especially when triglyceride levels were above 2.26 mmol/l, and when non-HDL cholesterol levels were high in association with low HDL-cholesterol levels in overweight or obese subjects who had no cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus. Method: Data obtained from 1192 subjects (424 men and 768 women) before and 12 month after inclusion into the prevention program was analysed. Results: The average level of non-HDL-cholesterol in the whole group of subjects decreased from 4.74 to 4.64 mmol/l, but the change was not significant. However, the average concentration of non-HDL-cholesterol was reduced significantly from 4.87 to 4.4 mmol/l in men, whereas no significant change was detected in women. In cases when triglyceride levels were higher than 2.26 mmol/l, the non-HDL-cholesterol level was reduced by 0.65 mmol/l. In cases when the non-HDL-cholesterol level was high in association with low HDL-cholesterol level, the non-HDL-cholesterol was significantly decreased from 5.22 to 4.48 mmol/l. In addition, in cases when HDL-cholesterol levels were low, the average level of the HDL-cholesterol significantly increased from 0.84 to 1.3 mmol/l. Conclusions: Lifestyle changes decrease the level of atherogenic lipid fractions, particularly in men with high triglyceride levels. Improvement of the atherogenic lipid profile in response to lifestyle changes is related not only to the reduction of atherogenic lipid fractions, but also to the increase of HDL-cholesterol level.

A pluri- és multipotencia határán: a ganglionléc őssejtjei
Authors: Kudlik Gyöngyi , Matula Zsolt , Kovács Tamás , Urbán S. Veronika , Uher Ferenc
Published: October 2015

The neural crest is a transient, multipotent, migratory cell population that is unique to vertebrate embryos and gives rise to many derivatives, ranging from the neuronal and glial components of the peripheral nervous system to the ectomesenchymal derivatives of the craniofacial area and pigment cells in the skin. Intriguingly, the neural crest derived stem cells are not only present in the embryonic neural crest, but also in their target tissues in the fetus and adult. These postmigratory stem cells, at least partially, resemble their multipotency. Moreover, fully differentiated neural crest-derived cells such as Schwann cells and melanocytes are able to dedifferentiate into stem-like progenitors. Here the authors review current understanding of this unique plasticity and its potential application in stem cell biology as well as in regenerative medicine. Orv. Hetil., 2015, 156(42), 1683–1694.
Nem daganatos, krónikus progresszív betegségek palliatív ellátása
Authors: Radványi Ildikó , Nagy Lajos , Balogh Sándor , Csikós Ágnes
Published: October 2015

Malignant and other chronic diseases cause the death of 2.5 million people in Europe annually. It is anticipated that this number will grow due to the aging of the European population. The death of a significant proportion of patients having progressive chronic disease is preceded by an extended end of life stadium. In this stage the patients have severe symptoms and pain that necessitate their symptomatic treatment and palliative care. The assessment of the life expectancy of patients, estimation of the prognosis of their illness and, therefore, selection of patients with a need of intensified palliative care often pose difficulties. This paper provides a summary on the basic elements of “good palliative care”. It introduces the most frequent models for the procession of chronic diseases and those indicators that help practicing doctors to recognise easier patients with a need of intensified palliative care, and as a result provides more adequate medical attendance that is better suited to the specific needs of the patients.

Sonet w Polsce od XVI do początków XIX wieku a przekłady z języka włoskiego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Miszalska Jadwiga
Published: October 2015

The aim of this article is to present a short history of Polish sonnet from the end of the 1500s to the beginning of the 1800s, paying special attention to the translations from Italian. Although first Polish sonnets by Jan Kochanowski were his original composition, the translations from Italian had a very strong influence on Polish poets for as long as to the beginning of the Nineteenth Century. The most eminent authors of sonnets were also translators themselves: in the 1600s free translations of Giambattista Marino had crucial influence on Polish literature. While the translations in the 1500s and 1600s appear very faithful to the Italian form of the sonnet, the few sonnets written in the 1700s tend to be closer to the Polish metric. The return to the sonnet’s classic form took place at the beginning of nineteenth century. The transformations of Polish translators’ attitude towards sonnet’s form are interpreted according to I. Even-Zohar’s literary polysystem theory and J. Holmes’s concept of poetry translation.
Przekłady włoskich librett oratoryjnych na język polski w latach 1764–1795. Trzy strategie tłumaczy
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Paleta Alicja
Published: October 2015

The article focuses on the Italian oratorio in Poland in the period of Stanisław August Poniatowski (1764–1795). In that time Italian dramatic genres were of a great importance in Polish cultural life as they were considered, together with the French dramaturgy, the main source of inspiration for many Polish poets and musicians of the second half of the XVIII century. Apart from Italian opera seria, also Italian oratorio used to be frequently executed in Poland and the librettos were published not only in original version but also translated in Polish, some of them even more than once. The reasons for which the Polish versions of Italian librettos were prepared were various and the destination of the translation was crucial to the form of the text. The aim of the article is to verify if and how the transfer from Italian to Polish had an influence on the oratorio considered a musical-literary genre.

Bar Italia Stefana Benniego: mikrokosmos nie do przetłumaczenia?
Authors:   Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Mazzini Maurizio
Published: October 2015

Bar Sport by Stefano Benni is a magnificent example of a text filled with homeliness as it describes the author’s compatriots and their drawbacks, far-fetched ambitions and forbidden desires by means of a humorous, paradoxical deformation. In this process, functioning as a kind of a collective, amusing psychotherapy, Benni creates a micro universe in a little bar occupied by bizarre individuals, where, like in a magnifying glass, clearly appears a picture of an average Italian, which prevails in the common, collective imagination of Italians themselves. Therefore this text becomes particularly exotic and incomprehensive for foreigners, due to a width of the so-called ‘silence margin’, which forces the translator to commit heavy interferences in the text or footnotes in order to fill in the informational void that follows it.
Co tracimy w przekładzie?

„Zupełnie inny świat”. O obcości i swojskości w polskich przekładach powieści Mileny Agus, Marioliny Venezii i Melanii Mazzucco
Authors:   Uniwersytet Wrocławski, Matusz Paulina
Published: October 2015

The article examines the reception of Polish translations of the most popular novels by Milena Agus, Mariolina Venezia and Melania Mazzucco – three young Italian writers whose books have been recently published in Poland. The study focuses on the notions of “extraneousness” and “familiarity”, present in the analyzed novels on the level of the original text and even amplified in the Polish translation. The narration seems to fluctuate between these two opposite ideas and the translator’s main task seems to be the ability to express in the target language every single nuance of “the extraneous” and “the familiar” in the same way as they were perceived and understood in the original text. The article is divided into two parts: the first one deals with the concept of extraneousness and familiarity analyzed only in the original texts. The second part investigates the questions of translation strategies chosen by Polish translators of the analyzed novels.
O włoskich przekładach poezji Tadeusza Micińskiego
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Płaszczewska Olga
Published: October 2015

The poetry by Tadeusz Miciński (1873–1918), particularly prone to misreadings because of its complexity, has never been very popular in Italy. Nevertheless, translators’ attention to Miciński’s writings is worth being studied from the comparative point of view. Firstly, limited reception of Miciński’s writings in foreign context may suggest various considerations on literary and non-literary reasons of its „absence” in Italian culture (such as unsuccessful translation or hermeticism of the text). Moreover, careful reading of the Italian versions may broaden horizons of eventual reflection on translatability or non-translatability of a literary text.

Some aspects of the translations were compared to the original − for example topographical names, colloquial phrases and the use of footnotes. The article discusses a few of the translator’s choices. Some of them are assessed as right, some − as doubtful or mistaken. All in all though, the translator’s work is rated as successful.
Varietà del repertorio della comunità linguistica italiana e l’insegnamento dell’italiano a livelli avanzati
Authors:   Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, Beszterda Ingeborga
Published: October 2015

This paper is devoted to the problems of teaching Italian language at an advanced level in the context of the internal diversification of Italian language: diatopic variation, diastratic variation, diamesic variation, diaphasic variation. In the process of language acquisition the so called Variation Awareness plays a vital role. It allows the learner – aided by the teacher – to attain communicative competence in the broad sense of its meaning. In case of teaching at an advanced level, the emphasis must be put not only on the grammatical correctness, but also, and mainly, on the ability to properly relate the message to the context it appears in, moreover, the kind of message – oral or written – must be taken into account. In relation to the linguistic situation in contemporary Italy, it is also important to draw the attention of a learner to diatopic variations (linguistic regional variations) as well as diastratic ones (matching the message to the social status of the interlocutor ). In the final part of the article there are specific suggestions of how to make use of available sources, so as to enable a combination of theory and practice.
Tipologia degli errori linguistici riscontrati fra i discenti di italiano di madrelingua polacca
Authors:   Uniwersytet Warszawski, Newecka-Ernst Beata
Published: October 2015

The material presented is the result of years of observations as well as notes taken while teaching several generations of Poles at various kinds of courses. Mostly, however, they were the 1st and the 2nd year students at the Faculty of Italian Studies of Warsaw University. The academic course covers the entire Italian grammar – from the present tense to reported speech. The error analysis was carried out following the chronological criterion: starting from the 1st class in the 1st year, i.e. the easiest topics, to the end of the 2nd year. The review of typical errors begins with spelling (e.g.spelling “gi”) followed by the most common morphological errors (the plural form of nouns and verbs that, in the singular, end in “e”) and ends up with grammatical errors (wrong use of past tenses Passato Prossimo, Imperfetto, problems with pronouns and their use). A large number of examples covers the type of interferential errors as well as those related to hypercorrection. The material presented is intended to sensitize the teacher to certain grammatical issues which, together with a skillful methodological approach, can be implemented so as to avoid the most common errors.

This article directs attention to some particular features of language acquisition and contrastive analysis in teaching L2. Presented comments refer to Polish learners of Italian language. Contrastive grammar mentioned in the article refers to the method widely used in glottodidactics which identifies the similarities and differences between two language systems. This leads to the improvement of the learning process and as a result – language competition.
Dalla Fiat alla Lavazza con una sosta dolce alla Nutella... La conoscenza dei nomi commerciali come elemento della competenza linguistica e interculturale in italiano L2
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Gałkowski Artur
Published: October 2015

This paper deals with the problem of commercial proper names as an important element of the linguistic and intercultural knowledge of foreign languages, particularly in Italian area. The author introduces some notions of the onomastics, especially certain items of its new discipline, that is the chremanomastics, which analyses diverse cultural proper names (chrematonyms), other than personal proper names (antroponyms) or names of places (toponyms), used mainly in marketing. The most interesting onomastic problems that can be explored in language teaching are: the onymization, the appellativization, new lexical formations based on chrematonyms and particular cultures, created by famous brands in national and international contexts. In the conclusion, the author points out that the “onymic competence”, for example the knowledge of commercial proper names and their cultures, forms one of the factors of the global competence in languages and creates facultative windows to understanding the past and present culture of other countries.
Język i kultura Włoch – między wyobrażeniem a rzeczywistością
Authors:   Uniwersytet Szczeciński, Lange-Henszke Magdalena
Published: October 2015

The goal of the acquisition process of intercultural competence is to establish relations between the native culture and the foreign one, the ability to make contact with the representatives of foreign cultures and the ability to act as a mediator between cultures. The result of our research proves that the students of Italian at Szczecin University successfully go through a phase of intercultural education. As they gain metalinguistic and metapragmatic knowledge, their initial image of Italian language and culture matures and undergoes a positive evolution in the course of studies. As a result, they can look from the outside at their native culture, analyse it and become aware of the stereotypes as well as of their own reaction to the foreign culture. They know that every culture possesses aspects that can inspire us to change our lifestyle. The highlight of the similarities and differences is the source of motivation and contributes to the attitude of cultural relativism. Young people feel wealthier and thus more assimilated to the European reality. It turns out that intercultural education and cultural differences are positive since they are enriching. They allow to develop positive attitudes, not only tolerance and understanding of other cultures, but also the awareness of native culture thus allowing the students to appreciate it. The images, even if false and stereotypical at the beginning, evolve towards a positive perception of the multicultural reality.
Indywidualne wzorce myślenia uczniów a nauka języka obcego z perspektywy ucznia i nauczyciela
Authors:   Uniwersytet Śląski, Marcol Lucyna
Published: October 2015

The aim of this article is to describe students’ individual patterns of thinking, evaluate their usefulness and possibility to utilize them in teaching and learning foreign languages with an emphasis on Italian. At the outset it should be considered that practical units included in the curricula of philological departments at most higher education institutions in Poland are designed in such a way so as to enable students to develop their receptive and productive skills. Such division of classes matches students’ needs perceived globally but it fails to cater for their individual requirements. The theory of individual patterns of thinking is an attempt to define and answer individual needs of students. As such it is also the starting point in the endeavor to design individual teaching models. The article shows how to utilize individual patterns of thinking and how to elaborate individual teaching models during classes in practical knowledge of Italian.
O specyfice przekładu tekstów prawnych i prawniczych na przykładzie tłumaczeń poświadczonych z języka włoskiego i na język włoski
Authors:   Uniwersytet Śląski, Janusz Joanna
Published: October 2015

The findings in this article are based on data gathered during sworn translation examinations. The article aims to address some of the frequently asked questions and doubts. At the outset it must be stressed that a sworn translator plays a special social role – not only is s/he a specialist but also a trustworthy person who is obliged to take a particular ethical stand. Hence their responsibility to remain reliable and impartial while making translations in accordance with the law. In order to maintain the high standard of such translations, all candidates applying for this role are required to sit a national examination in front of a board appointed by the Minister of Justice under the law of 24 November 2004. Certified written translations should adhere to the following criteria: Form relates to the formatting of the translated text, distinguishing the original from the copy, highlighting the direction of translation and appropriate insertion of the translator’s remarks; Equivalence relates to turn of phrase (translating sections of text in context rather than “word for word”, paying attention to obvious structural differences between the two languages) as well as subject matter (i.e. looking for denotative or semantic equivalence in the translation of specialist terms and the application of national and international standards); Applying the style sheet relates to the application of accepted specialist phrases and collocations in the target language.

Raccontare la Nazione: la letteratura sull’unificazione politica dell’Italia nel XIX secolo
Authors:   Università di Breslavia, Artico Davide
Published: October 2015

This article contains the proposal of a theoretical apparatus and criteria which might be adopted to approach the topic of Italian Literature about the Risorgimento. The ‘social value’ of literary works was taken as a basis, that is, their ability to explain the historical process to contemporary readers by depicting large-scale events while narrating the personal stories of fictional characters. A basic research hypothesis here presented is that 1861 constitutes a turning point in Italian Literature, as the optimistic hopes of pre-Unity patriotic-oriented authors turn into disillusion in the wake of the lack of sound achievements by the new Kingdom in the fields of the social and cultural advancement which should have followed political unification, but it did not.
La nascita della letteratura per l’infanzia nell’Italia unita

The author tries to present and make Polish readers familiar with some works and their authors that are quite often unknown in Poland. The article also shows the history of creating the first important didactic work by Luigi Alessandro Parravicini Giannetto, which reigned for almost 50 years in the Italian literary scene as a prototype of school literary work. The aim of this paper is to present the history of creating a book about a wooden puppet - Pinocchio written by Parravicini’s succesor Collodi, as well as other works by the same writer, e.g. Giannettino. The article points out the specific conditions in which the unification of Italy took place and the reforms that had to be carried out so that the country could rise from the economic and social ruin. Literature for children became one of the important elements which united the new generation of Italians.

L’unificazione d’Italia vista d’oltremare: Paese d’ombre di Giuseppe Dessì, amara riflessione sui cambiamenti politici
Authors:   Università Jagellonica, Maniowska Katarzyna
Published: October 2015

In Paese d’ombre, a novel by Giuseppe Dessì, the author reflects on the issue of the national unification from the perspective of the Sardinian town of Norbio and its citizens. The unified Italian Kingdom is added to everlasting misfortunes such as drought, floods, famine and illnesses. In this newly born political body whose citizens are hardly able to communicate with one another, the seemingly disappeared borders are instead more impassable than ever. The pessimistic representation of reality might suggest Dessì’s negative attitude towards that historical moment, nonetheless the critic of the present is directed to improve the future of the State. Undoubtedly, a reasonable estimation of the present is needed rather than false political declarations for the purpose of improving the immutable condition of neglected human beings. The aim of this paper is to present the problems of Italian unification taking into consideration social and geopolitical factors which hindered ultimately the union between citizens in different Italian regions. The author of the present article analyses different governmental policies directed to improve the situation and the consequences of those attempts. In the analysis based on Dessì’s novel, historical sources are taken into account.

O recepcji przekładowej Serca De Amicisa w Polsce
Authors:   Uniwersytet Jagielloński, Płaszczewska Olga
Published: October 2015

Nowadays, the most popular novel by De Amicis is his unique text known in Poland. Since 1906 its translation by Maria Konopnicka has had countless reeditions, but it was brought into Polish even before: in 1887 by Helena Wilczyńska (maiden name: Russocka), in 1899 by Józef Nestorowicz, in 1890 by Maria Obrąpalska (maiden name: Siemiradzka), and later by Leon Sternklar (1937), by J. Drzewiecka (1938) and by Witold Zechenter (1947). The success of the version by Konopnicka is analysed in the context of previous and further translations. It reflects personal sensibility of the translator towards misery and injustice, expressed in her writings. It also testifies her linguistic ability and creativity which makes the text more convincing and attractive to the reader in comparison to the original version.

Published: October 2015

The article is dedicated to a comparative analysis of Verb’s grammar tenses in both Polish and Italian language. The essay examines the methods of expressing the dimension of the pluperfect tense (Italian trapassato prossimo) in the modern Polish language. Except only few verbs which maintained their pluperfect form, Polish as a language has evolved towards the phenomenon of lexicalization, which is possible to describe as replacing grammar constructions with lexical tools.
L’insegnamento dell’italiano nella scuola secondaria in Italia
Authors:   Università degli Studi di Genova, aura Barillari − Martina Di Febo Sonia
Published: October 2015

The paper focuses on the centralization of the Literary Texts in teaching Italian language. During the last thirty years, the Italian Undergraduate School has adopted methods to teach Italian, based on the distinction between Language and Literature, reshaping the role of Literary Texts or decreasing the lecture and analysis of Literary Texts in teaching Italian language. It’s out of doubt that the different modern languages theories have conditioned the methodologies of the language acquisition and the discussion of the theoretical model isn’t our aim. We would like to suggest that a literary text is a basic medium to learn a language, provided that the literary survey considers complete elements: cultural, historical, linguistics, rhetorical. The Romance Philology can give an essential contribution to renovate Literary studies in teaching Italian Language in the Italian Undergraduate school.
Osservazioni sul nome Wrocław nella sua veste storica e contemporanea, Polacca e internazionale
Authors:   Uniwersytet Łódzki, Gałkowski Artur
Published: October 2015

NOTES ON THE NAME WROCŁAW IN ITS HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY AS WELL AS POLISH AND INTERNATIONAL ASPECT The paper discusses some data about the name of one of the biggest cities in Poland, the capital of the region of Lower Silesia, Wrocław. The toponym has a long history which includes different periods of foreign domination: Czech, Austro-Hungarian, and mostly German. The origin of the name is perfectly Slavonic: it derives from the archaic personal masculine name Wrocisław. The name is characteristic for its double construction: the verb wrócić ‘return’ and noun sława ‘fame’ or verb sławić ‘praise’, that indicating somebody honoured for returning. The original form has been the subject of many international variations, e.g. the Germanic Presla, Presslau, and Breslau. The Latin adaptation of the toponym Vratislavia in combination with the Germanic Breslau is the most popular as the basis for the internationalization of the name, such as Breslavia in Italian and Spanish. Nowadays, the city has reason to promote its original Polish name. The social challenge of the city is to teach how its name is pronounced, using for example the linguistic hybrid Wroc-Love [vrotzlav]. The creation of some fantastic legends around the city and its name is also significant, increasing popular etymologies of this toponym. The onomastic discourse concerning Wrocław is a natural process of contemporary social communication on local, national and international levels including some antonomastic uses of this toponym: the city is called Venice of the North, and the Polish Prague. Even the Hitlerian catchword of Festung Breslau counts in this discourse of changing is historical meaning.

THE JOURNEY OF CARDINAL VON HESSEN-DARMSTADT FROM ROME TO WROCŁAW AND ITS ARTISTIC MILIEU The aim of this paper is to present the report on the journey of Cardinal Friedrich of Hessen-Darmstadt from Rome to Wrocław, undertaken in 1676 to assume governorship of Silesia and real power over the diocese of Wrocław. The report, published in this city soon after the completion of his journey, is now preserved in the Old Prints Department of the Wrocław University Library. This source contributes new facts from the biography of the cardinal - the founder of the famous St. Elisabeth Chapel alongside the Cathedral of Wrocław, decorated with statues sculpted in Rome. During his journey to Silesia, Friedrich of Hessen-Darmstadt stayed with his retinue in Loreto, Verona and Trento, entertained everywhere with great pomp and ceremony. Then he went to Vienna, where he took part in imperial audiences and was granted the title “Durchlauchtigst”. At the end of his journey he went to Nysa and from there to Wrocław. From the art history point of view this travelogue contributes information about the “occasional architecture” and the decoration of the churches in Nysa and Wrocław, liturgical vestments and vessels, and about costumes and vehicles of Silesian dignitaries. From the literature on the subject we know that on the occasion of the arrival of the cardinal to Wrocław three new doors to the local cathedral were founded. The main entrance doors were decorated with relief depicting Jacob’s Dream and Joseph in a Well. In the light of the appropriate biblical quotations and commentaries on them these scenes illustrate the idea of the gate to the heavenly Jerusalem as well as the symbolical transition from the sphere of death to the realm of life.

ITALIAN OPERA IN WROCŁAW (1725-1734) AND ITS LINKS WITH OTHER MUSIC CENTRES In the years 1725-1734, there was an Italian opera troupe performing in Wrocław, which was composed almost entirely of well-known Italian artists. At the beginning, its repertoire mimicked those of Italian theatres operating in Venice, Vienna, Florence, Genoa and Prague. Later on, however, the operas staged by Treu and Bioni, the music directors of the Wrocław opera, were also performed by other European theatres. The owner of the theatre in Prague and the originator of the idea to set up a theatre in Wrocław was Count Anton von Sporck, an imperial governor and a friend of Silesian aristocracy. It was on his initiative that a meeting with Antonio Vivaldi was arranged and the performers he recommended were invited to Wrocław. Thanks to the extensive contacts of Wrocław’s impresarios and bandmasters, the city’s virtuoso singers travelled throughout Europe, and outstanding musicians, stage designers and ballet masters were hired. The fame and high standards of Wrocław’s theatre caused its chief conductor, Daniel Gottlieb Treu (Daniele Teofilo Fedele), a pupil of Vivaldi, to write the history of the theatre, which was published in Hamburg (1740) by Johann Mattheson in Grundlage einer Ehren-Phorte. During the nine-year long operation of the theatre, a total of 45 operas were premiered, and their librettos are partly extant in the collection of Wrocław’s University Library (the Silesian-Lusatian Section) and at the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense in Milan. Recently, a previously unknown copy of the opera Il Daphni by Spanish composer Emanuele d’Astorga, currently in the collection of the Sapieha Library, part of the collection of the Wawel Royal Castle Museum, has been discovered. The staging by the theatre in Wrocław of eminent baroque operas, performed by outstanding artists, puts them among the most interesting events in the European opera in the 18th century. : Italian theatre, Wrocław, baroque, opera, Daniel Gottlieb Treu

WROCŁAW IN MUSIC AND LETTERS OF NICCOLÒ PAGANINI The life and works of Niccolò Paganini, a Genoese violinist, are the subject of many texts and articles. Despite the discovery of his letters and the existence of his numerous biographies, often divergent in content, from which I will try to reveal and compare more accurate and reliable information, there are many unclear issues concerning various episodes of his life. These doubts concern his stay in Wrocław, an episode of his life thought of as secondary in relation to many others, but in which many important events took place, events allowing for enrichment of his biography and getting to better know the personality of the Genoese master. The article offers an analysis of the master’s stay in Wrocław, comparing his more reliable biographies, extracting information from his personal letters, which are a valuable literary source, and not forgetting the art for which he lived, music.
A partire da Hans-Georg Gadamer. La koiné, il ponte e le “due culture”

STARTING FROM HANS-GEORG GADAMER. THE “KOINÉ” AND THE BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO CULTURES The following contribution starts out going through the pages where Hans Georg Gadamer recalls his early youth and his first university studies in Breslavia. In those pages Gadamer emphasizes more than once a particular “foundational” exigence, the need “to throw a bridge”, to articulate in new terms the dialogue between humanistic tradition and positive sciences. That fundamental exigence “to throw a bridge” of a new relationship with scientific knowledge is one of the essential features of contemporary hermeneutics. Italy was the first country to publish the first translation of Gadamer’s main work, Wahrheit und Methode. And in Italy alone, in last year’s philosophical debate around the hermeneutic koiné finds in the relationship with science (natural sciences, scientific knowledge) as it has been interpreted by hermeneutics so far, and in the exigency to finally reformulate that relationship in less “aesthetical-metaphysical” terms, the place where hermeneutics may recognize its own nihilistic sense: to correspond to the becoming (flowing) of nihilism, that is of modernity, means first of all to mark the distance from the attitudes that hermeneutic philosophers have so far had with regard to the positive sciences.

LOGOS OF THE CROSS The existential story of Edith Stein is characterized by the pursuit of truth and by placing herself at its service. Starting from the philosophical discourse she reaches the word of the cross, the Logos of the analogy that relates separate determinations. Going through the various stations of her Way of the Cross in order to achieve her union with the Beloved, Edith Stein realizes the commandment of love: donate life to “save” forever every existence.
Stazioni sulla Via verso la Libertà

STATIONS ON THE ROAD TO FREEDOM According to Dietrich Bonhoeffer acting ethically is to love one’s own land and become a neighbour to others. You learn to believe by participating completely in life and therefore to the being of Christ. Only a theology of life and for life is capable of overcoming the opposition between God and the world, recognizing the reality of God in the reality of the world. The mature Christian is not addressed to a “stop-gap” God because he is incapable of finding solutions or right answers, but he must profess his faith through responsible action.
Królestwo Sardynii i Turyn w relacjach podróżniczych Michała Jerzego Wandalina Mniszcha z roku 1767

THE KINGDOM OF SARDINIA AND TURIN: THE TRAVELOGUES OF MICHAŁ JERZY WANDALIN MNISZECH DATED 1767 The article includes an analysis of Michał Mniszech’s travel accounts from the year 1767 concerning the Kingdom of Sardinia and Turin: Observations sur les États du Roi de Sardaigne and Observations sur Turin. According to the concept of Mniszech’s European educational travels that had been worked out in cooperation with the Polish magnate’s mother, Catherine Zamoyska of Mniszech, and Elie Bertrand, in the process of foreign education, becoming familiar with issues related to the broadly defined political economy was the most important aspect. Benefits of an aesthetic nature, resulting from admiring monuments of art and architecture, were less significant. Therefore, Mniszech’s travel accounts put strong emphasis on the problems of demography, administration, finance and taxation, government forms, trade and industry. In this respect, Italy was no exception. Mniszech’s travel accounts on the Kingdom of Sardinia and Turin are characterized by an intended complementarity. Observations sur les États du Roi de Sardaigne is mainly focused on the aspect of political economy. Hence, the emphasis is on information about trade, finance, demography, and industry. Observations sur Turin, although repetitive, e.g. educational matters while describing the University of Turin, concerns mostly issues of an aesthetic nature pertaining to architecture (also sacred), arts, culture and science. Importantly, in both accounts, Mniszech lists their potential sources: in reference to the first account, it was an outstanding piece of work in the field of political economy by Zanon, while in reference to the second account - a literary work of a well-known art historian, Cochin, and a literary historian, Richard, both distinguished experts on Italy and its spiritual and material culture. When focused on demographic issues, Mniszech draws special attention to his relationship to the clergy, which was very high in number ‒ not only in the described Kingdom of Sardinia and Turin but also in the whole of Italy, and was an obvious obstacle in the process of populating.
