Libro delli Dinari. Viaggi e affari di Giovanni Domenico Lucchese mastro stuccatore da Melide all’Europa 1648-1670

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Il diario contabile di Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, il cosiddetto Libro dei Dinari, è una delle preziose fonti sulla migrazione artistica dei maestri dal Lago di Lugano e dalle zone limitrofe dell&apos;odierno Canton Ticino e limitrofi della Lombardia. L&apos;esistenza di un giornale privato in Svizzera non è ancora nota al pubblico professionale. La pubblicazione presentata offre quindi la prima edizione di questa fonte unica, accompagnata da numerosi studi e vari apparati. La presente pubblicazione fornisce una traslitterazione completa del Libro delli Dinari con note esplicative e commenti riguardanti in particolare le persone, i luoghi, gli eventi ed i fenomeni linguistici citati. L&apos;edizione del diario è accompagnata da quattro studi in cui i loro autori hanno cercato di ricostruire e interpretare vari aspetti della vita dell&apos;intonaco. Grazie all&apos;analisi della rivista contabile e di altri documenti d&apos;archivio, Jana Zapletalová offre un quadro della vita e dei destini lavorativi di Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, della sua famiglia e delle preoccupazioni quotidiane. Delinea l&apos;ambito della rete artistica transalpina del fratello Filiberto, all&apos;interno della quale Giovanni Domenico ha lavorato in alcuni anni. Marino Viganò si è concentrato sulla valutazione e l&apos;interpretazione della situazione economica di Giovanni Domenico, dei suoi beni mobili e immobili, delle operazioni finanziarie, dell&apos;analisi delle spese e dell&apos;inventario postumo dei suoi beni. L&apos;intonacatore ha contrassegnato i suoi commenti sulle singole voci di entrata e di spesa in italiano per uso interno e quindi ha utilizzato un linguaggio comune con una serie di espressioni dialettali. Difficilmente continuerebbe che i suoi appunti un giorno sarebbero stati sottoposti ad analisi linguistica e avrebbero fornito materiale riconoscente per l&apos;apprendimento della cultura linguistica e dei dialetti del Ticino di oggi, come ha fatto Giovanna Ceccarelli nel suo contributo.

Popis výsledku anglicky

The account book of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, known as the Libro delli Dinari, is a valuable source of information about the migration of master artists and craftsmen from lake Lugano and the surrounding regions in what is today the Swiss Canton of Ticino and adjacent parts of Lombardy. Until now, specialist researchers into this subject were not aware of the existence of the account book, which is in a private collection in Switzerland. The present publication thus provides the first critical edition of this unique source, accompanied by several studies and various appendices. Giovanni Domenico Lucchese (Melide 1612 – Melide 1686/87) was a member of the prominent Lucchese family, which originally came from Pambio, although some branches of it later settled in nearby Melide on the shore of lake Lugano. The Lucchese family produced many outstanding architects and master craftsmen in related artistic and building professions, who from at least the mid-16th century worked for several generations in many places in Europe, especially in Prague, Innsbruck, Vienna, and other sites in what are today the Czech Republic, Austria, and Slovakia. Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, who worked as a master stucco artist, was until now one of the less well-known members of the family, and figured in art-historical texts primarily as the younger brother of Filiberto Lucchese (Melide 1606 – Vienna 1666), a key figure of Central European architecture in the mid-17th century. Filiberto gradually worked his way up to the position of imperial court engineer and architect in Vienna. He designed palaces, churches, and other buildings for the most important secular and ecclesiastical nobility in Central Europe. He built up around him in the transalpine lands a network of high-quality co-workers from various professions and crafts, enabling him to provide virtually all components of extensive building projects, from the initial plans right down to the most delicate decoration of interiors with stucco work and ceiling paintings. Most of these men who worked with Filiberto Lucchese came from Melide, from nearby Bissone, and from other townships in the region of the Lombard-Ticino lakes. Many of them were linked to Filiberto or among themselves by various family ties, godparent/godchild relationships, friendships, or other connections. They formed a relatively extensive network of people who worked together, which not only brought benefits for the master artists and craftsmen themselves, but also had its advantages for patrons and investors. Filiberto Lucchese and his network – like hundreds of other craftsmen – were part of the phenomenon of migration of people from lake Lugano and the surrounding regions for artistic and construction purposes. Giovanni Domenico Lucchese was involved in the building and artistic enterprises of his brother Filiberto as a stucco artist. The pattern of his life was made up of periods spent in his native Melide looking after his property and family, alternating with years when he stayed in the transalpine lands helping his brother. His account book, covering the years 1648-1670, is a unique source of information. Not only does it tell us about the life of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese and his family, but it literally allows us to look inside the complex community of the circle of people around the Lucchese brothers, Filiberto’s close colleague and successor Giovanni Pietro Tencalla (Bissone 1629 – Bissone 1702), the bravura fresco painter Carpoforo Tencalla (Bissone 1623 – Bissone 1685), the canon Giovanni Pietro Petrucci the Elder (Maroggia ca. 1589 – Maroggia 1659), the notary Andrea Antonini (Lugano 1606 – Vienna after 1676), and many other inhabitants of the villages lying on the shores of lake Lugano. The account book reveals routine daily expenditure on food, occasional outgoings on clothing, furnishing households, purchasing real estate, medicines and physicians, notaries, ministers of religion, school fees for children, wages for hired labourers, income from rent, the sale of horses, interest, and a wide range of other activities. It records numerous journeys within the region, and also the dates of departure and arrival for longer expeditions to Vienna and back in order to work there. Last but not least, it documents many small loans within the community, diverse incidents, celebrations, and weddings... This varied and at first sight seemingly unenthralling list of all sorts of items in the account book opens up to us the world of the ordinary inhabitants of Melide and Bissone in the mid-17th century and their relationships with their neighbours, enabling us to form an impression of the everyday life of these people. Until now, Giovanni Domenico Lucchese was just one among thousands of artists and craftsmen emigrating from this small region of mountains and lakes, who left their mark on the appearance of buildings in many corners of Europe and Russia. His account book is therefore valuable not only as a source of information about the individual fortunes of this economically well-situated man and his talented and successful brother Filiberto; it also provides a more general and very authentic testimony about issues relating to the artistic migration of the inhabitants of what is today Ticino and part of Lombardy. The present publication provides a complete transliteration of Libro delli Dinari, together with explanatory notes and commentaries concerning in particular the people, places, events, and linguistic features that appear in it. This critical edition of the account book is accompanied by four studies, in which their authors attempt to reconstruct and interpret various aspects of the life of this stucco artist. On the basis of an analysis of the account book and other archive documents, Jana Zapletalová provides a picture of the personal and working fortunes of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, his family, and his everyday concerns. It outlines the extent of the transalpine artistic network of his brother Filiberto, within which Giovanni Domenico worked in some years. Marino Viganò focuses on assessing and interpreting the economic situation of Giovanni Domenico, his movable and immovable property, and his financial transactions, and on analysing his expenditure and the inventory of his property drawn up for his death estate. Our stucco artist attached comments in Italian to the individual items of income and expenditure for his own personal use, using everyday language with many dialect expressions. He can hardly have expected that his notes would one day be subjected to detailed linguistic analysis and would provide valuable material for gaining a better knowledge of the linguistic culture and dialects of what is today Ticino, as Giovanna Ceccarelli has done in her contribution. The book contains extensive appendices. Orientation in the various branches of the Lucchese family in Pambio and Melide is made easier by a newly compiled family tree of the relevant sections of the family. Further help is provided by at least outline family trees of the two wives of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, Lucrezia Pusterla from Velate and Antonia Verda from Campione. In another appendix the reader can find chronologically arranged transcriptions of the selected important archive documents relating either directly to Giovanni Domenico Lucchese or to his ancestors, brother Filiberto, wives, or children. These include in particular transcriptions from the stelai at the graves of his great-grandfather Giovanni and his grandfather Alberto, the dowry contract for Antonia Verda, the authorisation for Antonia Verda to act on behalf of her husband during his absence, the wills of his brother Filiberto Lucchese and his niece Giovanna Bianchi, various notary acts relating to the property of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, his last will and testament, the inventory of his property drawn up at his death, and last but not least the will of his oldest son Giovanni Filiberto Lucchese. The authors also decided to include transcriptions of two inventories of the property of Bernardo Falconi, a contemporary of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese, which can be helpful as a comparison when assessing the financial situation of Giovanni Domenico Lucchese. In order to facilitate a better understanding of the various units of measurement and money used by Giovanni Domenico Lucchese in the Libro delli Dinari, the appendices include a list of all the measures and coins which appear with a specification of their values.
