Excerpt from Le Danze Macabre in Italia
Lo spettacolo della vita che finisce, il gran fatto della Morte che abbiamo sott'occhio tuttodi senza che possiamo abituarci a considerarlo senza qualche sconforto, angoscia, ed anche, se non consolato dalle speranze della fede, orrore e disperazione, doveva anch'esso, al pari di tutto ciò che ha im portante relazione colla vita e coi sentimenti dell'uomo, co stituire argomento di letteratura e dar pascolo alle manife stazioni dell'arte. Ecco perchè abbiamo presso tutti i popoli se non vera letteratura funeraria, certo molti accenni, negli scrittori, nei poeti, negli artisti al grande avvenimento 'che pone fine alle speranze, ai desideri, alle ambizioni di quaggiù. E secondo le tendenze e la civiltà dei popoli si trova rap presentata la Morte con maggiore o minor vivacità di colo rito, in forma, diremo cosi, più o meno sconfortante e plastica; e se ne ha tratto ora ragione ad abbandonarsi a tutti i pia ceri d'una fugace esistenza e quindi ammaestramento di vizio e disprezzo d'ogni utile cosa, d' ogni generosa abnegazione; ora, come presso i popoli cristiani, occasione a considerare la vita presente come una preparazione alla futura eterna, e quindi scuola di dolori, valle di pianto, ma milizia e conflitto per raggiungere il premio indefettibile a cui la Morte sola potrà condurci.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating subject of the "Dance of Death", exploring its origins, manifestations, and significance in the medieval period.

Through detailed analysis of paintings, sculptures, and literary texts, the book reveals the intricate interplay between art, faith, and the human experience of death.
